Yeah, my dad's chemo or something came with the same sun warning. I like the Spike Blanket approach.
Random pattern recognition: Of the 9 new hires in my group today, 6 wore french blue button-down shirts (including me). 4 were over 30. 2 were women. 3 were not white. The 2 who brought their own coffee were the 2 women.
Also, it appears that the official uniform of employees at my new company is khaki Dockers, a blue polo shirt, and a Jabra earpiece.
Albino alligators can't go in the sunlight either....

I'm a bit late to the discussion but I also swear by Bodyglide. I use it whenever I'm wearing my UtiliKilts.

When I was hospitalized last year with the "episodes," I told the seizure specialist that I really felt that my word-finding and focusing was getting worse. She said, "Honey, that's not seizures. That's getting older. Once you hit 30, it's all downhill from there in that department."
