I am one of those who gets burned through t-shirts. The t-shirts are however good for hiding tattoos you don't want to discuss with your mother.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh bon bon, what a PITA for you two.
As for the sunburn discussion, I am on the sunburn side of the spectrum and I seem to have passed along the same skin to my kids, esp my daughter. Oops.
I have a memory of Rio making fun of her DH for calling sunblock suntan lotion. hee. Although in my head they are two different things. Sunblock comes in SPF numbers like 25, 30, 45, 70. Suntan lotion smells like coconut and comes in SPF numbers like 4 and 8.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I don't so much "tan" as turn a not-painful shade of darker pink. When its a burn it hurts.

People lived for millenia without spf clothing.
They also died young and wrinkled.
There was no sunblock in my childhood. That's what killed the dinosaurs I played with. At least a couple of times a summer, I'd get stuck somewhere with no shade and have to spend a day or so lying in a dark room wearing a soft t-shirt. That was the era in which people would coat themselves with baby oil and iodine to tan faster and lie in the sun all summer. I was saved by the fact that I can't read very long in the sun, so I was too bored to lay out.

After years of working in the Loop and taking the Red Line home, I finally have printed out the Cubs schedule and highlighted all the evening home games so that I can plan ahead. I almost had to choke a bitch on Tuesday.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I hate hackers. And Tino.
I made steamed mussels in butter, garlic and white wine for dinner with grilled corn on the cob basted with butter & brown sugar. YUM!
Now I have to roll myself into yoga class.
