Hi Eva. How are you and K doing?
7:30 am
EvaNadine
doing well....as well as can be expected, given the state of things. lol
poor kiddo is healing from a nasty sunburn. but otherwise fine.
7:30 am
EvaNadine
yeah. i had to have a few words with summer camp.
2nd degree fun.
7:31 am

Zinc oxide cream every 2 hrs should be their routine. I bought a tub of 20% zinc oxide cream.
7:32 am
EvaNadine
hes with his dad this week so its out of my hands for now.
7:34 am
EvaNadine
the blister on one shoulder was HUGE.
it has since popped (on its own) and is healing.
when he left me, he was in the itchy healing phase.

I recall my mother slathering Noxzema on our sunburns. We didn't use sunscreens until our late teen years.
7:36 am
EvaNadine
yeah, ive read that noxema can pull the burn out.
ive never tried it myself -- which is surprising because i got burned a LOT as a kid...
7:37 am
hokie carla
noxema always made me peel, whereas aloe vera did not
7:37 am
MollyL
We use aloe vera gel that I keep in the fridge. We don't need it a lot thanks to sunscreen
7:37 am
Scrabbler
I never heard of aloe vera until adulthood.'
7:37 am
EvaNadine
yeah, we used lidocaine spray + aloe
7:39 am
hokie carla
I think I'm a little younger than you,scrabs, but I remember aloe vera in my teens.

Scrabbler
I am an official old fart at 65 now.

I just told my dermatologist this year that we didn't have sunscreen when I was a kid in the 70s and she was like, yeah we did. well, my parents didn't buy any.
7:41 am
Scrabbler
I recall seeing lifeguards with white cream on their no4/4 so that must have been zinc oxide.
7:43 am
EvaNadine
i used to have the colored Zinca for my nose as a kid. heh
7:44 am
Scrabbler
68 left and I need to get into town. Enjoy the day.
7:44 am
EvaNadine
we also used to have an aloe plant...we would break off little pieces to use on minor cuts + scrapes...
7:44 am
hokie carla
bye scrabbs, have a good one.
7:46 am
hokie carla
Eva, we did a boat tour yesterday on a lake and the captain said her lips got sunburned last week. I noticed her several times take an aloe cutting and rub it on her lips.
7:46 am
EvaNadine
it was a fun party trick when friends were around. lol
8:00 am

Our local day surgeon cut my cancerous moles out of my belly. He is a strange fella; he injected freezing around the moles, waits 3/5ths of a second, and comes at me with the scalpel. I, of course, yelp at him to wait because I don't think it is numb yet, but he just charged right in there. :/
8:09 am
crosshair
He took six "aggressive" moles out of me that day. Was caught early. :)
8:10 am
Tabbycat2
I had that same experience with my dermatologist. An injection to numb it and immediate cutting! It finally got numb by the time I got out to the car.
8:10 am

I think they all went to the same school.

Though I thank each and every oncologist who has ever worked on me. I would not be here today without them. :)

And a shoutout to everyone working at Princess Margerette Hospital. It takes a special kind of oerson to work in that environment day in and day out. I was only there for six months, then three months as an outpatient, and the things I saw broke my heart.

I read on Reuters a report that there has been a substantial drop in the number of workers showing up on farms in California recently, with even legal immigrants being scared to show up.
1:10 pm

I don't know whether it's related, but the oranges in my grocery store lately have been coming from Morocco or South Africa. It could also be related to tariffs. The South African oranges have been quite good.

no9 is acceptable, but not at least three longer words with the same ending: ma10, wa10 and ro 11. I would really like to find an 11 someday.
