Red lobster

[The Revine Ripper]

Hello,
I was in the bowl on saturday. This is a note to everyone that goes up on hot sunny days during the next couple of weeks...Wear sunscreen...I wore a t shirt all day and when I got home and took a shower, I realized I had the most extreme goggle and t shirt tan I have ever seen. When I woke up this morning, I felt and looked like a boiled lobster. Ohh yeah, yes I do know that you spell Ravine with an "A", I made my account last night with a heat fried brain... :sun: :sun:

Hey thats why they wrote the Sunscreen Song!

:sun: :snowflakes: :sun:

Sunscreen Song? Ain't never heared of that one. It one of then there Canadian folk songs or something? lol. Almost wish that I had had the sense to use some Sun as well. Nice red color, feels SOOOOOO great when the hot shower hits it. After 44, almost 45 (6/3) years I should know, right? lol Have fun, be safe. Al :sun:

Hey guys,

I can't tell you how important it is that that you wear your sunscreen. I spent alot of my life pursuing outdoor activities at the beach and at the mountains without wearing sunscreen :o . Because of this I have had about 10 surgeries removing basil cell carcinomas. Not a fun time and pretty expensive if you don't have health insurance :mad: . Anyway, wear your sunscreen and be safe :snowboarding: .

I GUESS YOU COULD CALL ME A RED NECK :mad: I GOTS A BIT O SUN MYSELF!

May 4th was the day I skied The ravine with the now famous Geno, of the waterfall fame, I was in the bowl all day skiing in shorts and a long sleeve shirt. I did remember to wear sunscreen on my face and fragile nose, but did not give a thought to my legs. The pealing is now subsiding... My poor legs, especially behind my knees got fried! LOL Leaves me with a kind of weird tan line. See ya, Bill

Thans to the SPF 48, I came out of the ravine with not even a suntan! Although, like you Doc, the back of my neck got fried. Forgot to apply the sunscreen before we started hiking in!

:rolleyes:

Ok for those who don't know the famous Sunscreen song by Baz Luhrmann, here you go (link to the MP3 is at the bottom)...

Wear sunscreen. :sun: :cool:

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now. :p

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine. :skifemcool:

Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you. :eek:

Ski over the headwall at Tuckerman Ravine on a hot spring day, but don't bother to turn. :skierscared:

Sing. :saxaphone:

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss. :D

Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't. :(

Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.

Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. ;) Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own. :saxaphone:

Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.

Read the directions, even if you don't follow them. :map:

Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly. :energybar: :energybar: :energybar:

Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. :skiergroup:

Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young. :radio:

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. :hummer: :autoroad:

Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.

Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85. :skifemcool:

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen. :cool:

I didn't forget the back of my neck but I am still in denial about my thinning spot on the top of my head. Not too bad cuz I skied with a helmet and had a baseball cap much of the rest of the time
