And it wasn't as though he spent all that much time in the sun His doctor told him that it could have been a sunburn from when he was a kid, so it's really important to wear the sunscreen.

The Feds also tax my Social Security that I PAID FOR! Our Governor says that we seniors are a 'drain' on the government and must pay for the services we receive. Since they spend most of the money they get on prisons and education, I still can't figure out what my benefits are.

I'm always scolding my daughter for her sunbathing habits.
