sorry dude.. you can't get Vit D from a tanning bed. Needs to be straight from the sun!
Plus I've read that tanning beds break down the collagen in your skin - not good for you in any way, shape or form.
if used in moderation it won't hurt you!!!.....i only use them to get a base and to take power naps!!......i use to work at one....the sun can be bad, if you are in it all the time ,and don't protect yourself

A GW covered in snow is better than no GW at all. And just curious, how long has it been since GW wasn't it's official name?

LOL. Yeah, our ophicial name is definitely GW but the corporate wrangling back and forth has been since some time before 2001. When Comcast bought it they put little trees on the signs, like that'd make us happy. :roll:

LOL...I like that..the ophicial name! I can't believe ti has been 10 years! I don't care what name they put on the building in Boston...there will only be 1 Garden and they tore that down years ago.

Were the gates open? :)

June 4, 2008 it became known as the Comcast Center. From its opening in 1986 until 1999 it was known as Great Woods. From 1999-2008 it was known as the Tweeter Center.

and I am not sure if Buffett has ever called it anything other than Great Woods.

And he seems to take great delight in noting that we're at GREAT WOODS! :D


(Dunno if the gates were open; I was out on 495.)

One of the concert recordings I have, he called it something like the "Comcat" center once...once.

As long as we get tour dates by the end of April (and Jimmy doesn't demean us to the level of a Monday show in May) I really don't care. We know there are going to be 2 shows - there are always 2 shows and that they will probably be in June. 'Nuff said.

On a side note . . . for all the New Englanders out there . . . today is f*cking gorgeous. It is a perfect Winter day so get off your as$es and enjoy it. Please. :D I am going cross country skiing out near Nickerson State Park on the Cape. Then shots. Always shots. Good for the soul and liver - don't believe that lying son of a b*tch Surgeon General. Then my dad's for a bbq and football. FINS The F*CK UP!!!! Enjoy the day . . . from the other side of your windows.

If I have any energy left after shoveling this latest gift off my deck and driveway I do plan on taking a long walk. Sun's not out here though - it's trying but not quite making it. I think I have enough Vanilla Rhum left to ease the pain afterwards.

A walk on a beach somewhere for me, I think. Maybe I'll run into DP66 on the Cape. :D

If you do, tell him that if he wants to send someone to clean my house, do my laundry and grocery shopping and then shovel me out I'd be HAPPY to spend the day doing something fun outside! [smilie=battingeyes.gif] However, I have many friends with sig others and husbands who are ALSO spending the day shoveling walkways and roofs.
