My nuts are sunburned againFollow

OK, maybe not. But have any of you fair-skinned type peoples ever learned your lesson? I've been getting sun-burned every year since I was a kid, and still I never seem to learn. Each summer I end up getting cooked pretty good at least once. Granted, alchohol is typically involved, but that's still no excuse. You would think after 30+ summers I would have learned to put the lotion on its skin, or else it gets the peeling, tenderness, and general discomfort associated again. This time it was a work barbeque, but there were 4 kegs involved and I felt that it was my team-player obligation and responsibility to see that none of these resources went to waste. All while outside under the blaring sun of course.

One of these days I will learn. Or end up with skin cancer. On my balls.

Being as blinding white as I am, you'd think I burn. I can count on on one hand how many times that's happened. And I very rarely tan either. I've resorted at times to pure baby oil and soaking in the sun for an hour. Nothing. Nothing!

That said, for some reason this year I got one of my four burns ever, and after, I've all of a sudden been tanning like crazy. For the first time in 11 years I'm actually darker than my husband. He has portuguese in his heritage and the bastid can put on SPF 50 and still tan in 15 minutes.

There is only one place on Earth I've ever burned, that would be the Equator. The only tan I'm ever to get is on my lower arms thanks to driving.

I've seen it a few times. During this thing called "day" there is a big burning ball of fire in the sky.


I'll leave it to you to decide how 'good' a ball of fire is.

Usually by this time of year I've had that first good burn which provides me a base to build upon throughout the summer in my quest to be brown and sexy. This year, however, I'm still pretty pale, despite being outside for long periods of time daily. I think it's because Oregon is further away from the sun than Colorado. The moon looks smaller, too.

Golfing is generally the culprit these days. I got a nice pair of cargo shorts that I wear out every week and as a result my lower legs - calves and shins - have been getting very burned. There's a nice burn line on my ankles. My arms also get it and there has been much peeling the past few weeks.

I'm one of those that gets a little burn then tans up for the rest of the season. y daughter, however, got her mom's fair skin and burns if she's outside unprotected for more than 30 minutes. Despite the pain she still hasn't figured out that she needs to put on sunblock and reapply it every couple of hours. It's almost guaranteed that when we get back from the beach/pool/six flags or wahtever that she will be red as a beet.

I don't get sunburned I just brown. A few summers ago I went camping with friends and spent the entire weekend without a shirt on in 90+ degree weather. My shoulders turned black.

Suck it whitey.

I dont tan, i burn.

on my most recent trip to vegas 3 weeks ago, we spent 9 hours out by the pool and i went through half of a bottle of SPF45 and didnt burn. Multiple applications FTW. ill be putting it to the test again when i go back to Vegas for labor day weekend.

Just the picture of a work picnic, and sunburned testes makes me slightly ill, and I am sober!

Once upon a time I had a tan. I even have a 6 grade school photo, where you can tell I once was able to get a nice tan. Then I got into reading King Author and decided to become a Fair young Maiden.

By the time I decided that I no longer wanted to be a maiden, I found I was no longer able to go out in the sun without burning. I tried everything but more then 5 minutes in the sun and I start to burn. So I dated geeks, who were into Renaissance Babes.

Wasn't fun, when I also found I had to make sure to it was also PABA free. Seems I developed allergies to PABA, grass and poison ivy around same time.

Jonwin works outdoors on the water, so no matter how much sunscreen he uses, his arms and neck are red. He already had cancerous skin removed before I ever met him. I check his moles and nag him to have them check at times.

Every year I burn, every year I peel. It's my skin's version of 'spring cleaning'.

Hot!

I burn to a crisp every summer. My sister can just glance at the sun and her skin will turn brown within minutes. So unfair.
