I can remember March 3, 1980. A day that will live in my memory forever. Skipped class at Montevallo to drive down to Panty Maw City for the day. 4 hour drive to get there. Got to the beach at 8:00 am. Started drinking Miller pony's at about 9:00 a.m. passed out on the beach on my stomache until about 4 in the afternoon. When I woke up I was toast, literally. My friends thought I had died. Did I mention I am blonde and very pale that time of the year. To make a long story short, by the time I got back to my dorm at about 10 o'clock that night. I was puking my gut's up. I was purple. They rushed me to the hospital ER. I had severe sun poisoning with second degree burns from the top of neck to the bottom of my feet. I was in the infirmary at the college for 2 weeks. Could not wear clothes nothing, because it hurt so bad for anything to touch me. Was on alot of pain meds. My twin sister came to see me the day after I did this, she did not recognize me, I was so swollen from the sun poisioning. I peeled for months. It was awful. My dad just about killed me. He would have, had he not felt so sorry for me.

Moral of story. It get's hot down there in March. Use sunscreen. Don't drink and pass out on the beach unless you have at a least SPF100 on. :D
:eek: :eek: :eek:

Wow KD. Nothing like hearing from someone who's been there.

Ooops, Sorry Kurt.... did not realize we were not in the lounge (probably because I am on my way to the real lounge). Better get the topic back on track. How about that April weather in SoWal?

Darlene...that is just about the scariest thing I have heard in a while. You are so lucky. It's what I kept reminding myself and the other moms...these kids are just "uncooked" (no pun intended). At the very least someone else should have covered you up...but their brains are not always fully working at that age!
