OSH ...who's going this year?

I don't burn.. Anywhere. (Ok maybe my nose sometimes (hence the
baseball cap).

Man, that would be nice. Us fair-skinned lads of German descent
aren't accustomed to tropical sunshine, so we must shield ourselves as
best we can.

The development of sun screens that actually WORK has been a real
Godsend for me. After burning to a crisp my first year, I wore long,
loose khaki pants for the next 15 years at OSH, sweating
accordingly.

It's really only been in the last ten years that I've been able to
stay out in the sun all day, bare-legged, thanks to the development of
modern "lead-shield" sunscreens.

BUT EVERYONE REMEMBER

If your sunscreen is from last year, throw it out.

You will burn like a hot dog on "The Mother Of All Grills!"

Really, it loses it's ability to protect. Get a fresh batch.

Really? I did not know that.

Thanks for the info!

Hmmm, I've had the same stuff for 2+ years and it works great. Got a
link to any articles on the subject Jim?

Same here. Last year I used stuff that was at least that old and it worked
fine.

Nope, believe it or not, I didn't hear about that on the internet! g

Really, a couple years ago, we went to the beach, and a couple people in my
extended family used the same bottle of SPF 50, (I think) and then went on
with the day, (re-applying repeatably as recommended), and got absolutely
fried. Everyone else in the family that used different stuff was fine.

Soon after we got back, we saw that sunblock can go bad after a year, on the
news or newspaper.

We don't take chances on it, after that experience. Perhaps it is only a
problem with high SPF stuff, or some brands, or how hot it gets where it is
stored, or whatever. Throwing out a $3.00 bottle of sunblock is much better
than spending several days in pain (and the additional risk of skin cancer)
because you are too cheap to buy fresh stock every year.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. I'll bet if you do some goggling,
you will find supporting info on this.

Well, there's your trouble, Jim -- you've gotta buy the real $9
stuff! That $3 Chinese knock-off (made with spent plutonium, or
sawdust, like their "bread") just doesn't last...
