I did a truly stupid thing.

On Saturday, it was warm and I went to my niece's softball game in jeans and a short sleeved shirt. My sister and I put sunscreen on the girls because we didn't want them to get sunburnt. You guessed it. I didn't put any on me! I got so sunburnt, that I am still fire engine red, sorer than I have ever been and a million degrees to the touch. I have put every conceivable type of lotion and cream on my arms.
So what was the last truly stupid thing you did?

I did the same thing last weekend- only I wore a tank top and shorts and spent the whole day outside in the sun. I didn't even realize I was burning until it was way too late. What helps me is Noxzema facial cleanser. It works well for a sunburn because it cools.

I am just recovering from my sunburn and am peeling . The sunburn I had was real bad and red and I actually cried . I did put some spf on when I was at the pool but I guess it didnt or wasnt strong enough and now I have to buy something better .
Anyway, Aloe helps the gel . Also, I used suave lotion along with the get and that helped cool me down . If you dont like gel you can find an aloe lotion.

Its truly a supid thing you have done. It might have been burning to you very much. Well I have done lot of stupid things. I would wear black t shirt in the summer and hot sun. It will be horrible to live with it.

I think I am the 'queen' of stupid things sometimes. Many times I have done that, you would think I would learn that sunscreen is for adults too and not just kids. I think the stupidest thing I have done lately though is lost a whole forum at the website that I run thruugh a very careless mistake. Stupid stupid stupid me. I have learned to back up my important forums though now. Thanks for asking, I feel even more stupid now, lol!

Something just like that! I was working outdoors on a week-long project and worked a few days with a big shirt on for protection and was not getting burned anywhere that was sticking out so on the 4th day I took the shirt off and working in a T-shirt and got burned a little on my neck and arms, so the day after that I didn't like the fabric rubbing against the burned area, so I took the T off and just worked in a tank top. Wow, that was the day I got really scorched. Never again. I did not go swimming for a long time after that dumb trick.

That last stupid thing I did was today. My son went to the water park for the last day of summer school today. I put sunscreen all over his arms, legs, chest and back. It was not until he got home that I realized that I forgot to put any on his face. Poor boy looked like a lobster when he got home.
