1. You HAD to remind me I'm bald(ing)
Now, in addition to looking like a bald freak, I have to have clumps of sunscreen in my remaining hair :)

4. Trust me, it's better than having your skin slough off in sheets.
This is a lesson I need to re-learn every few years.

3. And if you're sunbathing naked...
don't let your butt cheeks get sunburned.

Makes sitting somewhat uncomfortable.

11. Awww, Baldguy, I share your pain!
I'm not bald, but I am a natural blonde. If I don't wear a hat, my scalp sunburns where I part my hair. In Texas, this is a real hazzard! And, on another note, if you're wearing sandles, please do NOT forget to put sunscreen on the tops of your feet! :wow:

12. Went to the dermatologist today...
In spite of 55 years of sun worshipping, including life guarding, sail boat racing, competitive swimming, bike touring, no signs of skin cancer. I'm MUCH more careful these days and always keep my bald head covered.
