    you know untill i started looking at trave clothes and they say that they are SPF bla bla bla, i never would've thought about it.

    i guess i just assumed that if i was covered then i was protected. well i guess not! my poor skin.

    nope nope, according to the good doc non SPF clothing is about 2-4 SPF. In a way it's worse, you think it's protected so stay out longer.

    Funny thing is my back is fine. He says even though I have dark hair and eyes complection-wise I'm a redhead and burn easily.

    so sunscreen, hats blah blah from now on.

    Wow, Trek, that's useful info. Thanks. I'm a blue-eyed blonde, with solid redhead on my mom's side. Come to think of it, I'm really a blue-eyed grey-haired person, the blonde used to be real though... Anyway. I am diligent about applying sunscreen to uncovered parts of the body, but didn't think about putting it under clothing. Now it's so cold here that I doubt any sunrays are penetrating my many layers, but come spring/summer, I'll be much better about getting it all over. Like Nanci, I like that Neutrogena SPF 45 spray stuff.

    Glad the doc visit went OK, and that the reports were good on the moles. I got some vicious sunburns in childhood, and am sort of waiting for the other shoe to drop about my skin. I have one thing on my belly that was worrying me, but my doc said it was a "senile keratosis" or age spot. Lovely. Beats the heck out of melanoma! Give me senile keatoses any day!

    Lise "my doc said it was a "senile keratosis" or age spot. Lovely."

    That's the keratosis that can't remember its own phone number and address. I talked to your keratosis yesterday at work

    YES! She called me and couldn't remember her own number, so I asked her name and address and said "Mrs Keratosis if you can tell me that I could look up your number in 411".

    She gave me the address from 40 years ago, then started to cry because she didn't know where she is now....even the city.

    Yes! while you're napping in between catching baby duty your keratosis calls me.

    I think Treks been hitting the sauce on her day off Such goofy girls!

    CWR - I finally found your post from yesterday that started all the who-ha. You rebel!

    Alright, our resident gorgeous, blue-eyed blonde midwife has proofed my profile. It is now tweaked so stand back and watch the men flock in!

    Or not, hehehehehehe. I think I need a drink. Nope, potluck with the Pastor and the rest of my bible study group. Must......be.....sober

    OK, this is so scary. Did she give you the address on Orchard St. in Des Plaines, or the one on Greenview? I don't even remember the number. WAIT A MINUTE. I didn't have an age spot 40 years ago! I was six years old! Someone is impersonating my age spots! Seriously, though. Poor lady. Now I'm planning for the future. What will I do. I know. Pull out the phone book. That says what city I'm in. But will I remember my plan? Argh!

    Dar--good luck, girl. We want the right guy flocking to you. You may have to weed through a bit of the flock to find him. I counted, and may have missed a few, but I think I had dates with 16 guys between last November, when I went on Match, and Oct 2, when I met J. Email or PM me anytime. I feel your pain, sister!

    CC--good luck with the tires. I believe you deserve some Clif shot bloks just because.

    Off to dinner with friends, will check the "I hate" thread when I get home. Oh! The Drama! I am so glad that TD has stayed a pretty safe little enclave here.
