Sunburn is bad

[alannalynn]

So Laine was out in the pool all day, and... she's kinda red. LOBSTER red. And it's not fun. Worst part: she's red in front, kinda tannish, pink, not as red in back. *bah to uneven tans* :( I have much too pale/fair of skin for sunburn to ever be a good thing. *le sigh*

[Nynaeve]

I know your pain. I'm a red head... so mucho sun usually results in redness, a freckle attack and then peeling  >.>  but hey, at least it's fun to peel  ;D

EW... I hate peeling, it's just icky. haha.

[Nynaeve]

I really like peeling things. I was one of those kids that would put glue over my hand, wait till it dry and then peeled it  ^_^

Ooooh, I LOVE peeling glue, but skin is a totally different matter! I love the smell of glue..

[Locke]

Peeling glue is the ONLY good thing about school. *nods*

 

But yes, sunburns do suck. *has one right now*

Thankfully I doesn't burn.  Drives my wife nuts.  I do have an interesting farmers tan though......Legs are very dark, ankles and feet are slightly tanned, and I have a pale flip flop line just above my toes.  :D

[alannalynn]

Hehehe, farmers tan.

 

My mom is hilarious because she's totally dark, but her feet are totally white from her socks/work shoes. It's like she has little white booties when she's barefoot. lol, reminds me of kittehs.

Heh, nothing could compare to the god-awful sunburn I got in Cancun. I did put sunscreen on like 5 times and I still burned really bad. I was peeling for weeks. I'm like Nyn though, it's fun to peel. ;D

 

That said, the tops of my arms are very lightly tanned, but my legs are pale English-like white. :D

[Talya]

I burn too, though I doubt as bad as some here...and there is something quite theraputic about peeling skin or glue ;)

[el Nynaeve]

I peel the labels off Coke bottles. My friends tried to convince that means I'm sexually frustrated, but that's complete bollocks imo. :D

[alannalynn]

*laughs* I freak out when the label has been pulled off something; makes me think there's a serial/cereal killer in the house or something, stealing labels... LOL

[Locke]

Nothing beats pushing in the little button things on fountain drinks. :D

[Samuraiflip05]

Lol....my kids fight over who gets to push those in.  ::)

[alannalynn]

I push them in, then out, just so I can do it again. :D

[Locke]

I push them in, then out, just so I can do it again. :D

Exactly! :D

 

Unfortunately it loses a bit of its....awesomeness...after the first time.  Nothing beats the first push in. :D

Bubble wrap! I say bubble wrap popping is better than all above mentioned ideas.

 

However, I agree that sunburn is horrible. My wife has a sun allergy which leads to terribly itchy hives for her whenever she gets too much direct sun. This presents a problem since we both love fishing and camping so much. Lots of sunblock purchases for us.

Would not know too much about tanning. I have never tried it. I burn when it is cloudy out - just kidding lol . But I do burn pretty fast when it is sunny; and I am not keen on the idea of leather skin and skin cancer, so I never thought tanning for me would be a good thing.

 

Peeling stickers are fun- I have loved that since I was young. Still love it now - I do not know if that is weird or not, in all honesty <_< .

[Guest BaLefireP]

I was sunburned so bad once I looked like a cooked lobster! It hurt like heck for a week!

[Ikkarus]

Wow...and ow. How did you manage that ? Fell asleep on the beach without the sun screen ?

[Guest BaLefireP]

I have never been to the beach, I was out working for a guy and had no sunscreen and was stuck in the sun with no shirt on from sun up to sun down.

[Ikkarus]

You have never been to a beach ? That is amazing. I am usually in an in-land place, but I like going to a beach in winter; nice and cold, the water is really nice since it is more turbulent, no sun, and, most importantly, no people to crowd up the view and ambiance.

[Guest BaLefireP]

The nearest beach is about 10 to 12 hours away and I have just never gone. Should I go?

[Ikkarus]

I cannot determine for you. To me, it just does not seem right, not seeing the ocean once in your life in person. I try to see as much of the world as possible, so I would try to plan a trip if an opportunity arose. Summer if you like heat and noise, winter if you like cold and solitude.
