sunburn

when we were in maine several years ago we went on a whale watching tour. it was very windy out and sunny and mr audie got the sun/windburn thing on his forehead. it swelled up real big and then started seeping - it was nasty

BR! I didn't intentionally ignore your story about Jacket's ordeal...I went to get some water in the middle of my post and got detained.

At least you can now tell her (if you are brave enough) that she is not alone in having experienced that...:blush:

I know, but she's not frequenting the board lately, so I think I'm safe.

They always find out. Maybe she will laugh it off.

young people embarrass to easily - once you hit about 40, you just don't give a hoot anymore. at least i don't....

Yep, I do agree. No need in hinding the truth, someone will find out and tell. Also, easier to laugh at yourself at this age.

It's not only easy, it is totally necessary.:lol:

I recall a spring break in PCB, maybe when I was in the 10th grade, where a friend of mine (friend girl, not girlfriend) decided that she could tan better using baby oil rather than tanning oil with a SPF number. That was back when only pansies wore the spf stuff and it would be like spf 60. She sat at there all day with some of her friends. Later that night, everyone was saying that she was in pain from her sunburn. I had never seen anything like that before that incident nor since that incident. The Sun and the Baby Oil had cooked her belly area, just above her bikini bottom line, crisp. :yikes: Yes, extra crispy, like Fried Chicken, but without any flour. It was gross. I will always remember that.

did anyone here tan with baby oil and iodine ?

Did that when I was 14. The best way was to use baby oil and spray yourself with water...like basting a turkey. :blink: Needless to say I did not wear anything but a long shirt for about a week. Never again!!

Yep. Or crisco and iodine. :yikes:
