Indian Sunburn

Now that it’s getting warmer, you have to be careful not to get burned when you’re outside mowing your yard. Depending on the size of your lawn, it can take 30 minute to over an hour to mow the grass each week.

If you’re out there after work, the sun isn’t that hot and you probably won’t burn. But if you’re outside during the middle of the day mowing the grass, then you better be wearing sunscreen. SPF 30 is a good choice, because it blocks out many of the harmful UV rays that damage your skin and can lead to burning or skin cancer.

If you’re using a push mower, mowing in the sun may be hard work. But if you have a zero-turn riding mower or other riding mower it can be pretty fun to mow. Just attach an umbrella (MacGuyver-style) to your mower to provide some shade while you mow and sip on your favorite cold beverage.

Don’t want to mow your own yard, but not sure what to look for in a yard service company? Check out Raleigh Lawn Service for some ideas about what to look for, typical services offered and how to choose a good company.

I got to hang out at the pool today and check out the girls. There was this one chick. To back up a little bit, I’d passed her in the hall earlier today. As she walked towards me, I noticed her from a distance, noticed that she had a really good body, you know. As we got closer I could tell she was a little older (maybe 35-40ish) but still had a nice body.

She gave me a smile and a hello and we continued walking our respective ways. I didn’t think anything more about it.

About 10 minutes later I went out to the pool. I had a book, a glass of water and my stunna shades. And sun tan lotion, of course–SPF 30 baby. As I sat there looking around, the girl from the hall walked out. She had an even nicer body than I remembered.

She sat down about 20 feet away from me and took off her shirt, I saw them. Great, ginormous fake breasts that were struggling to be freed from her tiny brown bikini top. She spent at LEAST a minute straight just adjusting her bikini to get it positioned the way she wanted it.

Once in my life I’d like to be able to touch and squeeze some fake boobies…without having to pay. That is all.

Spring is coming. We’ve showed you the horrors o f sunburn so you know that you better wear sunscreen if you’re chillin outside in the coming months.

But what about eye protection? Studies have shown that long-term exposure to ultra-violet rays (being in the sun) can harm your eyes and lead to skin cancer, cataracts and macular degeneration. Sunglasses are important in protecting your eyes because they act as a filter to shield your eyes from these UV rays.

Stunna shades are pretty much the hottest sunglasses you can buy right now. Go find some stunna shades for sale so you can look your best and protect your eyes from the sun.

According to a press release today from the FDA , the Food and Drug Administration, has proposed new regulations for sunscreen products. There will be new standards for testing, labeling and formulating over the counter sunscreen products with UVA (ultraviolet A) and UVB (ultraviolet B) protection.

Most sunscreen products only list the “Sunburn Protection Factor”, SPF, to tell consumers how well the products works for them against the UVB light which causes sunburns. UVA light penetrates the skin much more than UVB light and causes the skin to tan. Both types of UV light can cause the skin to age prematurely, cause skin damage and even skin cancer.

“For more than 30 years, consumers have been able to identify the level of UVB protection provided by sunscreens using only sunburn protection factor or SPF values,” said Andrew C. von Eschenbach, M.D., Commissioner of Food and Drugs. “Under today’s proposal, consumers will also now know the level of UVA protection in sunscreens, which will help them make informed decisions about protecting themselves and their children against the harmful effects of the sun.”

Under the new regulation, sunscreen products will be labeled to inform consumers of other ways to protect themselves from overexposure to sunlight. One way would suggest that they limit their time in the sun. Another suggestion is for consumers to wear protective clothing.

There will also be a new rating system in place using stars.

* One star will represent low UVA protection

** Two stars, medium protection

*** Three stars, high protection

**** Four stars, the highest UVA protection available in an over-the-counter (OTC) sunscreen product.

If a sunscreen product does not rate at least one star, FDA is proposing that its labeling bear a “no UVA protection” marking on the front label, near the SPF value.

FDA also wants to make changes regarding protection against UVB light. The agency has proposed amending its 1999 existing rule on UVB products to increase the maximum sunburn protection factor from SPF 30+ to SPF 50+. Under the proposed amendment, the range would be SPF2 to SPF50+. For more information on SPF factors and their meanings check out this website : http://www.fda.gov/cder/Offices/OTC/understanding_spf_sunscreen.htm .

Sun safety is never out of season. In the summer it’s time for picnics, trips to the pool and beach. But fall hikers and winter skiers and sledders need to be as wary of the sun’s rays as swimmers do. People who work outdoors need to take precautions as well.

We don’t advocate doing this but sometimes you need a little more uumph in your indian sunburn. Say, for example, that your girlfriend is dancing with a douchebag at some club with greased back hair and the top three buttons undone. Here’s a secret method that’s been “burning” up the clubs in recent years.

1)see your girlfriend dancing with grease monkey, who continues to try to put his hands on her even though she keeps taking them off.

2)Take bottle of Nair out of pocket and loosen the top for easy access later. Keep bottle in left hand or left pocket for easy retrieval.

3)Walk calmly up to them, patient, yet deliberate, sort of like Jason from Halloween.

4)Smile and make eye contact. Stick out your hand, like you want to shake the dude’s hand for being such a cool guy and dancing with your girlfriend.

5)Point at something behind douchebags head. He’ll turn around.

6)Take out bottle of Nair, grab dude’s arm with right hand and squeeze Nair onto it with your left hand.

7)Hold on tight and twist your hands like you’ve never twisted before.

8)The nair will start to dissolve his arm hair. This, combined with the massive indian sunburn you’re giving will burn like hell and sting like a swarm of a million bees.

9) Walk off, girl on arm and claim victory. You’ve just completed you’re first “Nair Burn.” If your girl gives you any lip, give her the Nair Burn, too.

Most clinical signs of the wort are caused by photosensitisation. Plants may induce photosensitisation from chemicals contained in ingested plants, or secondary photosensitisation from plant-associated damage to the liver. Araya and Ford explored changes in liver function and concluded there was no evidence of Hypericum-related effect on the excretory capacity of the liver, or any interference was minimal and temporary. However at high and continuous dose rates changes in blood plasma indicative of some liver damage have been observed.

Photosensitisation causes skin inflammation by a mechanism involving a pigment or photodynamic compound, which when activated by a certain wavelength of light leads to oxidation reactions in vivo. This leads to lesions of tissue, particularly noticeable on and around parts of skin exposed to light. Lightly covered or poorly pigmented areas are most conspicuous. Removal of affected animals from sunlight results in reduced symptoms of poisoning.

This is what happens when you repeatedly ignore warnings that you might be getting burnt–redness, pain, sun blisters, the inability of your skin to ever moisten itself. Leather skin is an understated disease, and this is the most disgusting case of leather skin I’ve ever seen.

The entire world’s supply of aloe could not help this lady out. I’m not sure which is more done- crispy bacon or her skin. If I had to choose between having the dryest elephant’s skin as my own for the rest of my life or touching that lady’s skin, I’d choose the elephant skin. I see that and I think of the scene in Christmas Vacation where they’re at Christmas dinner and they cut into the turkey. It emits puffs of smoke and hisses, because they burnt the hell out of it. This lady’s skin is so nasty, I don’t even think Uncle Eddy would eat it.

Save your skin. Use suntan lotion with an SPF of 15+. Boycott real sunburns and only practice Indian Sunburn!

A good Indian Sunburn is like a strike from a rattlesnake. Quick, painful, and definitely leaves a mark. Real sunburn, on the other hand, is not good. If you get real sunburned enough over the years your skin will look like this. And no one will touch you the rest of your life.
