Years ago I went to a wedding in the middle of August in a town that was a 5 hour drive from where I lived. It was a beautiful day so I opened the convertible roof and cruised at my leisure. Then I arrived to find that I had a seatbelt tan and a serious burn across my chest, which was only enhanced by the strapless dress I had to wear the next day to the wedding.
Oh Honey. Child. Sunburn? This is a sunburn. Spoiler: Feet Don't call it quits til the swelling sets in! Like a champ!
Jesus. That makes me hurt. I'm super pale so I have to apply sunscreen like it's my religion and I still end up burnt every time. I remember when I was in high school I would purposely not wear sunscreen on the first float trip of the summer so I would tan better the rest of the summer. I wouldn't say that I'm smart now, but I was really stupid then.
Pale sistah's united! My family's only lost me at the beach a couple of times. I am militant with the sunscreen for any occasion that has me outside for any period of time. I did tan up pretty well as a kid and teenager, but I'm not vain about being tan and care more about the health of my skin than anything else. 70 broad spectrum sunscreen for the win!
Maybe that's where I went wrong. I was only using 50 SPF. My favorite thing today is aloe spray with lidocaine, this stuff is awesome. Now if I can only convince the kids that we all need to take a nap this afternoon I'll be all set.
I got a bunch of this sunscreen at biglots on clearance. It SAYS it is 70....the only bad thing about this stuff was that it was like spackle and took a lot of rubbing to get it into my skin. I think maybe it was a little dried out? El husband's foot up there really liked Burngel Plus. It also enjoyed aloe gel from Walgreens. The Burngel Plus was where it was at, though. It has a little lidocaine in it which seemed to help, though weirdly enough the straight up lidocaine cream that I bought did nothing. Who knows.
I've been to a guns and roses, Marilyn Manson, and now Alice in chains concert in the past few weeks. I just wonder where these people have jobs?
What people? The bands or the fans? Unrelated: did anyone see the beyond horrific head injury Cyborg Santos took to the head this weekend? I don't think I've ever seen anything quite that gruesome in sports. Yeah a compound fracture of your leg is brutal, but that dude's entire forehead was concave.
Not really. Sure, it was a hard hit, but it's not like it was a Mir armlock that snapped a bone and was expected. It was a bad hit, but smashed in orbital sockets are worse to me.
The damage to the head does nothing for me. Dude got his ass kicked in an ass kicking competition. What'd you expect? A "bad" hit would have been if his opponent pulled a gun outta his waistband and shot him; the head injury was just one of a few hundred outcomes that could be expected. But come on, pokemon? Get that shit outta here.
So...you're upset that someone celebrated with Pokemon, but not that he was celebrating shattering someone's face?
He celebrated the win and didn't know until later the extent of the damage. Yeah, the Pokemon thing was a bit weird, but I won't judge him for celebrating. He thought he knocked the guy out and was jacked on adrenaline. Well deserved win in a COMBAT sport where shit can always happen.
If you want to see something ugly, Google Anderson Silva's leg injury that knocked him out for a year.
