Ouch

They were probably water blisters.

When I was sixteen I went to a theme park in late May with a bunch of kids from school and I forgot sunblock. The chaperones were really concerned because of my skin tone, but we couldn't stop for sunscreen. So I go out and play and have fun in the blazing hot Atlanta sun and it's amazing. For hours and hours.

Then we go to the water area of the park and I get sopping wet. And mysteriously turn bright red. Mysteriously.

So we go home, I nap on the bus and get kind of itchy but I'm okay.

I go to sleep that night and at about 5 a.m. I wake up in smurfing agony. Never been in so much pain. I stumble to the bathroom, turn on the light and after like five minute manage to peel off my shirt (and quite a bit of skin) and I have a solid, continuous water blister spanning my entire chest (I was wearing a square neck tank top.) I was out of school for two days.

Never again!

You stand under a hot San Diego sun for 8 hours and not burn.

I do this all the time!
Well, sorta. Some days I am out from sunup to sundown. That sucks. But I still have yet to get a sunburn from San Diego sun.
And surprisingly I didn't get one in Afghanistan either. I just got nice and tan. :cool:

Pfft sun's not even at full blast for 8 hours out of any day.

Any beaches in SD? I'll visit when I finally get around to my california Brother / Allies / Cousin / Julian tour.

probably 2013. Yeah probably.

I thought you live in Canada, where it snows. Places where it snows don't count as hot, come to Australia.

I got sunburnt at the beach a few years ago but I was fine with it because I used the pain as a reminder of what a swell time I had

It sure seems like full blast when the whole day is near 100 degrees out. :colbert:

And San Diego is on the coast. :p

I'm glad that despite my best efforts to disappear, I stay relevant around here.

I live in Miami. Sunburn just happens sometimes.

I used to get sunburns all the time when I lived in NC (I was almost always at the beach)... now, I never get any.
