People do love to get in your business.

I have so many funny pool stories from our trips to FL. Some older ladies were sitting on the steps of a pool while my boys were racing underwater in the pool. The ladies were yelling at my boys to not splash!! I started laughing so hard and told the ladies that (1) the boys cant hear you, they are underwater and (2) if you don’t want to get wet, don’t sit on the steps of the pool! My friend took her girls to FL and put sunscreen on them beside the pool. They let it dry and then went to get in the pool where some ladies told her that you could not get in the pool with sunscreen on! Hello??? Crazy people. They must not have much going on in their own lives so they have to jump in and monitor everyone else’s lives, don’t you think? It is a personal thing to them somehow.

So needless to say I stayed a little longer than I had planned, waiting for her and her tribe of kids to leave, As she walked past, I stood up and said” maybe next time you have a gripe about some one elses child, you should talk to the adult and not the child” (now it gets funny) she said maybe next time I’ll just call 911, so I offered her the use of my cell phone,

she said “WEll I never” and started to walk away, I go “from all those kids you have it’s more like you never quit” Yeah it was mean, but I just hate to see adults ask children things when there is an adult with them,

I praised K for the way she answered the lady nicely, (not what I really wanted to tell her at that moment tho) Oh yeah I burnt and blistered, the kids just got darker, lil brats LOL

But, isn’t it funny how in this day, if you go around with a sunburn (something that isn’t easy to hide), people react like you’re driving drunk, or have some blow on your nose, or have crapped in church or something. It’s THAT taboo. I can’t even imagine what people would do if a KID has a sunburn… call CPS, take you to court and have you declared incompetent?

The thing that’s soooo ironic about it is that the ingredients in sunscreen are also carcinogenic (you can google that), so really and truly you are damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Unless you invest in outfitting your family in those sun-block suits.

well, maybe that was my problem…LOL

i put so much lotion on, i was a greaseball! never heard that before…

good idea with the vinegar, i haven’t heard that either!

Kindred spirits!

Photos taken. Check! My skin looks PURPLE in the photos.

I am an idiot.

Here is a proven cure for sunburn…use white apple vinegar to take away the sting.

And NEVER put any kind of lotion on a burn. It keeps the heat in.

Sorry about your burn

And just 3 weeks ago, he did the exact same thing you described! “What!? I was in the water. HOW did I get burned???”
I burned a little, too. But he blistered badly. It was gross. I told him he couldn’t sleep in our bed without a T-Shirt on, once he started to peel. YUK!

OMG…i, too, used to tan like a hawaiian tropic model!!! now, i turn 30 and what the hell? i even used to use baby oil and not get the least bit burnt!

i laid on the beach in hilton head for no more than 2 hours the FIRST day of our week vacation and got blistered!!!

and, i agree…how is it, that EVERYONE grabs your arm, slaps your back or wants to give you a great big hug???

i, too, felt a little idiotic about the whole situation. my hubby TRIED to tell me to put on a little sunscreen! “nah, i’m good, i don’t really burn”…was my response…and, of course, i got the “i told you so” for the rest of the week!!! i didn’t lay out for one more day of that week

anywho…i peeled for an entire flippin MONTH!!! started with the face first, then the chest, arms, back, legs and lastly my stomach!!!

i learned my lesson to say the least!

good luck with your burn and just use LOTS of lotion!!! if it’s really bad, you should give a try to an oatmeal bath…that helps!!!
