UV rays are part of how cataracts are formed so good quality sunglasses should be worn as well as sunscreen. Our ancestors were wise to use a parasol when they went outdoors. Sunglasses and sunscreen should be considered part of basic health care.

I heard that anything over SPF 30 was just overkill. Izzat true? I could ask the Sound Off folks, I guess, but swag might pitch a hissy.

No mojitos. Just Folgers® cappuccino. I brought a Thermos® of the serious gourmet shyt on my final visit.

Hey, is that Karen Carpenter?

The_Original_Bob 1 year, 10 months ago

No mojitos were offered?

RETICENT_IRREVERENT 1 year, 10 months ago

Cappuccino.

Every day since I was 19.

Remember kids, "Pass out on a porch, not a lawn." Don't let that morning sun ravage the beauty of your skin.

One time I dreamed I was drowning. Turned out to be the sprinkler head popped up next to my face.

"g_rock (anonymous) replies… yesdear."

Thatta girl.

It is better to cover up with clothing and a hat, but I try to get the exposed areas with some SPF100 if I know I will be outside a long time.

But, but, how do I keep my sexy looks? Did Hef call?

I'm going to let that softball so on past me.

However, G, wear sunscreen.

Hawaiian Tropic is the Sunning oil of choice at our house.

Sounds like there is a story to be told after that comment. ? Sounds interesting

Found a piece of dark glass for a welder's helmet. A little too late for the eclipse we just had, but I might be able to watch Venus transit the sun in a few weeks.

My_Life 1 year, 10 months ago

Indyan never wears sunscreen and He's never gotten burned or even a little red. No melanoma in His family either. We're gonna make a stop at White Sands on our honeymoon so He can visit some ancestors and lay out and get baked. Me, I'll be under the umbrella.

prospector 1 year, 10 months ago

Only if someone is looking. I took my shirt off yesterday and stampeded the entire herd. The turkeys could give a damn, there is love in the air.

nudist 1 year, 10 months ago

I use an oral sunscreen. It takes about three days to become effective, but it doesn't smell and isn't greasy.

somedude20 1 year, 10 months ago

I need sunscreen when operating a microwave.

"I'm nearing 40 and probably don't wanna wreck my face." - g_rock

This year I got a divot on my cheek from the plastic surgeon.

g_rock 1 year, 10 months ago

Only if I'm purposefully in the sun on vacation. Since that won't be happening anytime soon, I'm pretty pasty. And I don't have my running legs back enough to be outside running for long enough to need it. I probably should use it more often. I'm nearing 40 and probably don't wanna wreck my face. Great. Now I have to go buy some sunscreen. Bah.

How effective is sun screen?

Maybe wearing summer weight long pants and long sleeve shirts is more effective? Seems we see a lot of male and female residents from the hotter oil rich regions keeping their bodies covered/protected in this fashion.

What do we know?
