Thread: Use sunscreen!

Yes, I know the title is all caps, but since I'm paying with my hide (literally) for my dermatologist's Mercedes, boat and kid's college education because of my life in the sun, thought it was worth emphasizing!

I'm not dying or really at risk in any significant way, but I have had several large chunks of flesh taken, unexpectedly, by my doc, and a couple turned out to be early stage skin cancer. All of it was gotten, but now I'm in the loop of 6 month full body skin checks, occasional (semi annual) freezing of things that are "suspicious" on my face and hands, and generally PO'd that because of ignorance and arrogance about sunscreen I'm spending a lot of time and $$ and being caused to hurt and bleed.

Take care of yourselves, especially you young guys!

Just a public service announcement from a fairly dark-skinned old white guy.
