Burn, Baby! Burn!

by Leslie

Can you feel the heat? Do you hear the sizzle? Dave says this is what happens when you drop F-bombs on your blog - God lets you feel the consequences.

And so, to anyone I may have offended yesterday, I’d like to apologize to you, in the form of a rhyme:

Forgive me for my bitchiness, it wasn’t very smart
If I hadn’t let it out, I would have blown apart.

(To be fair, I have to tell you that the above rhyme was inspired by this original rhyme about belching. That author is unknown, although I’d bet it was a boy who wrote it:

Forgive me for my ignorance, it wasn’t very smart
If it came out the other end it would have been a fart.)

And to the brave Secret Squirrels who weren’t afraid to show me love in the comments, those cool kids who still came to play, even when I was prickly, I sing to you:

If you want my love you got it.
When you need my love you got it.
I won’t hide it.
I won’t throw your love away.
Oooooooo!

(That’s a song by Cheap Trick. I didn’t write it. I wish I had, though. Man, that would’ve been sweet.)

Noxema! You have that right? That was my favorite stuff to slather on after a sunburn. It feels so good, all cold against hot skin…
And since I am freely handing out unsolicited advice, the mother in me just has to say; Ahem, Sunscreen???

Vinegar. Put straight vinegar on it. Its stinky (unless your like me and you love the smell of vinegar) but it totally takes the burn away…and not just the ouch burn part, but it actually HEALS the burn. Or something.

Oh wow. That makes me hurt. try the vinegar thing. Put it in the fridge for instant relief too.

I’m thinking an oatmeal bath for a burn of that caliber. Aveeno has some good stuff but you can get generic too. On the upside, at least the Almighty didn’t throw down lightning. That would’ve been worse. Much.

Aawwww I didn’t see it in time to be one of the Secret Squirrels

But I still loved it, I like you bitchy…you’re funny. When I’m bitchy, I’m just bitchy.

That sunburn looks like the wrath of God alright….seriously painful. Noxema, vinegar, Aloe Vera (straight if you can get it) or they make this aloe vera gel with novacaine in it that’s pure heaven when you have a bad bad sunburn.

Hope you get to feeling better soon.

Oy Yay… I’ve never seen sunburn so vividly photographed. I’m sorry for the pain you will be feeling for the next serveral days…

Reminds me of the summer I was 16 and vacationed in Nag’s Head with my best friend and her family. I actually slathered on “Tanning Accelerator” at the ocean. Because you don’t really get burned fast enough with just the power of the sun and the ocean water… that’s something you want to help speed along.

Oh yeah, and a blistered face is an AWESOME way to pick up the local guys…

Yikes!!!!! SUNSCREEN baby! Sunburns are bad bad bad!
Never apologize for a crabby day. You are human. We all have days like that.
