Janna Chandler helps her daughter Emma, 6, remove oil from her feet Saturday after a day at Gulf Shores beach at Sugar Beach condominiums.



edit to add word,

1. The woman is using a petroleum based solvent to remove the oil from the kids?

[county worker]

4. Johnson's baby oil works really good.

We have tar balls on the south facing beaches here in Santa Barbara and we always carry Johnson's baby oil to get the tar off.

[dixiegrrrrl]

5. I did not know that.

I know Crisco shortening ( any shortening) will get pine cone pitch off.

I was wondering what the hell was in that green stuff she was spraying on her kids.

15. Simple Green, maybe?n/t

[dipsydoodle]

6. Eucalyptus oil too

Use of that goes back to at the least the '60s.

11. Which is strangely enough (not) a mineral oil. ie petroleum based.

Use olive oil on your baby.

And a good coir mat to remove the tar.

Far too many of J&Js products exist solely to correct the deficiencies of other J&J products.

19. How can you tell from the photo that it's a petroleum based solvent?

:shrug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

2. Wrong?

taking your kids to the beach to play in fouled sand is wrong, IMO.

9. The kid's hair is wet. They have been in the water, too.

Swimming in oil dispersant water, playing on oily beaches, and out in 90 degree heat.
Wonderful.

3. Painted toenails. Yuck.

[dixiegrrrrl]

21. Very popular around these parts.

Where sandals are summer wear.

[Scuba]

22. Yeah, here too, but just not my thing.

[stuntcat]

7. children who will be here until probably 2090

They're learning young what it's like to live IN a massive environmental disaster. Their parents are selfish assholes.

8. The stupid is strong in that picture.

[peekaloo]

10. I guess the goggles keep the nasty stuff out of her eyes.

good lawd.

12. The main thing that's wrong

is that the national treasures of our coastline are now so fouled that it's not safe for children to play and swim.

Other than that, she's got to lose some of that loose flabby skin if she's going to keep wearing the two-piece.

[Kalyke]

13. Uhhh... you do realize you can't lose skin, don't you?

Particularly skin caused by having children.

It has to be surgically removed, which isn't covered by insurance - even IF you have muscle damage underneath.

And, if you don't like her loose, flabby skin, don't look at her. I'm sure you're no prize.

[notesdev]

14. LOL

I make two comments, one touching on an issue of massive national importance, and the other a simple jest in good fun, and what kind of response do I get? Offense at the jest.

American Idol anyone? Oh, and by the way, any thoughts about that ecologically and economically crippling oil spill that will foul the coasts for a generation or more?

[seabeyond]

16. you make an assinine comment. expecting a retort. then bitch about the retort.

says more about you

[Kalyke]

24. I've made several comments regarding the oilcano in the

past several weeks.

But, I still call out sexism when I see it.

I have the ability to walk and chew gum at the same time.

17. WTF is wrong with people?? n/t

[City Lights]

18. That woman is an idiot!

:mad:

[Hempathy]

20. That mom should definitely NOT be wearing a bikini.

yuck.

23. Hospital scrubs then?
