ShortFatHokie Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 After I smoked a Partagas Serie D No. 4 yesterday afternoon, I peeled off my shirt, put the chair back in a more relaxed position, and kicked back for nice little snooze in the warm, mid-afternoon sun. Mistake... I woke up a couple of hours later with my chest and stomach, which hadn't seen sun since a trip to the beach last August, glowing a brilliant red. I could barely sleep last night as the sheet felt like sandpaper against my blistered skin. Today, my shirt feels like a thousand hot needles sticking into my flaming frontside as I sit here at work. This isn't a very good day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShortFatHokie Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Did the aloe vera treatment last night and this morning. My wife has the cocoa butter ready for when I get home from work. Don't plan on doing much this evening...sit around and maybe smoke a cigar...with my shirt on and in the shade, of course. Today has really sucked. I wore the softest/silkiest shirt I have and it still feels like sandpaper. However, I have been quite productive at work, something I really didn't expect when I rolled out of bed this morning. Man, I am a complete dumbass for falling asleep with my shirt off...serves me right, I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingMeadery Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Get a few tomatoes cut in half and rub the juice over the sunburn. It's a little messy but takes the sting out... We get the most vicious sunburn in the world in New Zealand, the benefits of no Oxone layer I reckon I could almost toast the foot of a cigar after 20 mins at the beach here !

joeypots Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I get sunburned walking by a light bulb. Aspirin. I repeat, aspirin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortFatHokie Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 I've heard that about the juice of a tomato. I've also heard putting mayonnaise on a sunburn will take the sting out. I would rank this one as the third worse one I've ever had. The worst was an entire day fishing on a boat, no shirt/no sunscreen...bad enough to go to the doctor. He said it was the worst he had seen in his career as a doctor. He gave some nice medication to get over the pain and some stuff to put on the burn. The second worst was on vacation at the beach a few years back and, yes, sunscreen had been applied liberally...spent most of my week in the hotel room. Its really strange how sometimes I will get an awful burn. I'm not fair skinned, actually have some American Indian (Cherokee) from my mother's side of the family. I guess I'm just too stupid to learn to stay out of the sun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLiquidGator Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Nothing works on a sunburn better then a few milligrams of Valium. Works wonders on the peripheral nervous system which includes your epidermis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have mentioned tha the caps need to be cut open and the oil is only applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
