inkman Posted May 27, 2020 Report Posted May 27, 2020 I read someone on Twitter calling it SPF and was wondering if this was a regional thing, a cultural thing or just what the youts of today are calling it. Quote

Noone says they are going to the liquor store to buy proof. You go to the liquor store to buy booze, which is rated by proof. I think my first instinct would be to look for something to kick if someone told me they are getting a tube of SPF to apply. Quote

Sabres Fan in NS Posted May 28, 2020 Report Posted May 28, 2020 I voted 'Other', because I don't use any of that junk. Why would I risk all kinds of worse cancers from the sunscreen chemicals to prevent (maybe) skin cancer. We need direct on the skin sunshine of 30 minutes a day to get natural vitamin D. That's all I get. I never burn. Quote

Stupid question, do you have darker skin? Expand Not particularly, but I tend to not burn easily. I don't spend that much time in the direct sun. If I am out at the beach, hike, or whatever for an extended period of time, I look for some shade for a lot of that time. On 5/28/2020 at 5:39 AM, Doohickie said: Clothes.

Tondas Posted May 28, 2020 Report Posted May 28, 2020 I wear a long sleeved tee shirt and a golf hat. I still wear shorts (just to give the ladies a show). I really want to get one of those large hats but can't get the gumption to do so. So my ears and legs are exposed. But I don't go out much so I think I'm OK. But being a white guy from WNY, I can get a sunburn from reading a Kindle (or a laptop). That reminds me, I have to logoff now so I don't burn. Quote
Pimlach Posted May 28, 2020 Report Posted May 28, 2020 In the summer I put away my traditional Fedora for one like this. Being a sharp dresser, this is must for May through September. The ladies like it too. 2 Quote
