It’s not just “too much sun” - it’s any sun. I avoid the midday sun, wear hats, sunscreen, like shade much better than sun, and my face still shows wear from everyday exposure. If you’ve physically cared for an old person - eighties, nineties - the unexposed parts of their skin look decades younger.

So I’d rather not make my face the sacrificial vitamin D source - still haven’t convinced my children, who don’t see much point in investing in their forties.

Chocolate tastes like Bosco tastes like chocolate tastes like Bosco...

They had to sing that song in their commercials because Bosco tasted nothing like chocolate. Yuck.

yeah...I have to go take a shower now - I’ve been avoiding it because the bathroom is chilly.
Oh well...a hot shower & then jump right into the warmies.

Enjoy the beautiful day!
this is much than 99% humidity!

Remember this one?

On top of ol’ Smokey, all covered in blood

I shot my teacher with a .44 slug

Went to his funeral, I went to his grave

Instead of red roses, I threw a grenade.

Now there’s a terrorist threat for your happy selves!

I just posted a different version of Ol’ Smokey :)

How’s this for freaking out the nannies?

Hi ho, hi ho,

It’s off to school we go,

With hand grenades and razor blades,

Hi ho, hi ho!

Ahhh, the good old days, and I’m female, LOL!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Teacher hit me with a ruler.
I shot her through the door
With a loaded .44
Now teacher don’t teach no more!

And the ever-popular:

Joy to the world!
The teacher’s dead,
We barbecued her head!
And then we took her body,
And flushed it down the potty,
And round and round it goes,
And round and round it goes,
And round and round and round it goes!

bought the Poli-si-vol (sp?) he said to. We tried to give it to our daugther once. It was horrendous

Oh, no way, I love the taste of that stuff. I used to sneak a little myself when we gave it to our kids. Yum. That and cod liver oil are my favorites. In the summer, we just get out in the sun.

Oh, those bring back memories! Sort of like cast iron merry go rounds, and slides in the park....

Nothing like the tanning bed ;)

On the MSM, the reason why they don't talk about sunlight is they are old bags who sit in their stuffy NY offices and have no life outside of work.

Back on the tanning bed, since I started using one especially through the winter, I noticed my moods have been much better through the winter than before. I was down in New Zealand last January and it was easy adjusting going there but had a hell of a time adjusting coming back - going from long days back to short days for example.

Those of us with naturally oily skin, don’t wrinkle as much as others do. When I was younger and complained to my doctor about being so oily he told me that I would be glad when I was older and he was right. I am 67 and have no wrinkles, a few laugh lines but no wrinkles no crowsfeet.
