My reply is usually something on the order of FO.<br /><br />Recently, she read an article about the side effects of having sun block plugging all those pores in our body's largest organ... go figure... LOL <br /><br />She doesn't give me shit about using Sun Block anymore.<br /><br />In the article, one of the side effects is the blocking of the vitamin D provided by sunlight. A vitamin, which it would seem, helps prevent melanoma. Go figure.<br /><br />The article also stressed several things many boaters do as a matter of course. Wear a hat and sunglasses. Wear a long sleeved linen shirt. Stay in the shade when possible.<br /><br />d'oh.<br /><br />I'm guessing I won't be wearing any sun block, soon.<br /><br />Cheers.<br />brigantinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12209370917771947352noreply@blogger.com
