Confessions of a lifeguard

What I actually mean: I have full blown panic attacks which include heart palpitations, breathing problems, shaking, sweating and constant fear that I'm going to die when faced with situations I find uncomfortable.

Hey friends, If you're planning on visiting six flags anytime soon, just a heads up, the Bahama blaster is not anxiety friendly. Let me explain. I have raging anxiety, but I love roller coasters, especially water coasters. The Bahama Blaster is a slide that starts in a capsule, it has a glass door and a glass floor that drops out from under you and you slide down a steep drop from the tube into the landing area. When it's your turn to ride you are sealed in the capsule which on it's own isn't necessarily triggering, but once you are sealed inside there is a speaker that plays heartbeat noises that echo off the capsule walls. Once the floor comes out from under you, you end up in a tunnel that is half full of water, where you're going too fast to catch your breath after the drop I personally almost had a panic attack, but was able to keep it at bay. I liked the ride but as someone with anxiety it was really overwhelming.

Hi friends, PSA time! If you have a minute and you go outside often PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check the date on your sunscreen!! Most people aren't aware that sunscreen expires after 3 YEARS... Most are in a date format like this. The first 2 numbers are the year it was made, the next 3 are the date of the year Ex. Mine was made on the 108th day of 2013 aka 4/18/13. This form works for ALL Banana Boat products, and most Hawaiian Tropics. Different brands have different ways of telling... Copper tone is different, their format is 4H103CF the first number is the year, the first letter is the month, the third set is the lot number and the last set is the manufacturing plant... Ex. 4H103CF means made in August '14 and it's good for 3 years from the manufacturing date!

How many do you know? I've heard and researched 5/6!

Test yourself friends!

We have this pool that goes from deep to shallow with a course in the middle and one guy starts straying into more deep water so his friend tried helping him. Moral of story right as I pass the tube to the guard they start going under and we both had to jump in.
