SLIP SLAP SLOP

[lal-au0]

what happened to it?

went to the beach and about 1 % of people wore a hat.

we played the game "spot the hat".

I don't mind if other people want to die but they should do it before they procreate to keep up evolution.

I don't know about that ( it was slip slop slap ) but at least my boys use at least 30% sunscreen before they go to the beach or even outside to swim in the pool.

Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen and slap on a hat 🙂

that's the one. sorry for getting the order of the words wrong but that is CULTURAL and you must rescpet that 😛

anyway, i saw so many lobsters and about 1 of a hundred people wore a hat.

in the middle of summer. on a 42 degree day

no wonder australia has the highest melanoma rate in the world.

sorry for the rant but:

are you bleeping crazy? stupid? or what?

it's not that hard to get a hat or use sunscreen.

what is it that makes people here fry in the sun on the beach?

are they suicidal? stupid? aim for the darwin award?

aim for the darwin award?

They don't wear hats though they wear red skin and they leave their rubbish on the beach when they leave.

I think that Evolution is too slow in action.

You (and I) might remember slip slop slap but as people grow up, some would not even know what it is and some forget.

One thing is all kids at schools seem to wear hats.

I don't sunbathe but spend a fair bit of time out in the sun, wear some sort of hat but not sunsceen.

Prefer a very lightweight shirt to sunscreen if I need to cover up,

But like you, I can't understand why people want to turn into Lobsters, from the odd time it has happened to me, it is painful.

After a childhood spending summers at the beach, without the protection of sunscreen, or indeed, a society aware of the dangers of continual sunburn, and remembering the painful blisters and peeling, the agony of hot, hot showers of my youth, I'm currently sitting here in pain, as I've just had my 5th melanoma removed from my back.. And to do so, the surgeon excises a chunk, about 8cm diameter, and 4cms deep, to ensure it's all been removed. Hardly what I'd call a pleasant experience!

These days, hats, sunscreen, UPF-rated shirts and polarized sunnies complete my dapper outdoor look.

Not much fun by the sound of it evil.

Unfortunately, I had an uncle who died from melanoma.  He was in his 70s.  He was not a frequent visitor to the doctor for many years.

I have had a fair few removed back, legs, arms. Chunks that is.  

My poor sister has scars all over from removal.  And the last one has to be re-done due to not enough being removed the first time.She unfortunately, lost her FIL and BIL 9 months apart from Melanoma.  BIL was 34 with 4 children under 5.

My father-in-law died at a similar age on the leg, the cancer was from severe sunburn before the age of 8, because he wore long trousers every day from that age. 

So consequently, both her and my offspring are particularly aware of the serious shortcoming of that particular gene.
