My mom used to use Noxema for sun burns. I think it helps. I also have a sun burn gel with lidocaine and aloe vera that I keep in the fridge in case of sunburns..
Safeway grocery stores have the same promotion going on, although they don't allow you to combine the discounts. You enter your Club Card number at the pump and the discount is granted.
Additionally, even when you don't have a coupon, using your Club Card gets you 3 cents off per gallon. It's not much, but every little bit helps!
The Safeway is a little further away from my house, but if I combine the grocery stop with the gas-up, it makes the most of the drive.
My parents have been doing this. They work down-state where Shaws stores are available, but the discount coupons work at any Irving. So they use them when they have to make the long drive up here and gas up in the more expensive area.
work just as well for sunburn when you just swallow them. I do a lot of yard work and don't always remember the sunscreen. Plus I'm achey as all get-out after my weekly mowing and weeding, so aspirin is my wonder drug. I pop three when I'm done with my coffee and no more pain.
It's essential if you're going to be outside for more than about 2 hours. I recently tailgated at a Nascar race, and did this every two hours or so. I ended up getting home with barely a tan.
Also if you're swimming--doesn't matter if it says waterproof or not.
I'm not familiar with Shaw's Market, but in Pennsylvannia, the Giant Eagle chain that offers the same program. For every $50 you spend, its $0.10 savings at their associated gas station (GetGo).
If you are wanting a free tool that compares with Photoshop, give the GIMP (www.gimp.org) a try. You will be able to do most things with this that you would be able to do with Photoshop. And you can get free video tutorials at (www.meetthegimp.org)
I just want to throw my two cents in here about PREVENTION PREVENTION PREVENTION. I had a mole biopsied on May 1, which I am still awaiting the results of, and the easiest way to prevent burns, which are linked to skin cancer, including the most serious form, melanoma, is to apply sunscreen. 3
Trust me, as I sit here every day nervously awaiting the results of my biopsy, I could kick myself for every time I went out in the sun without sunscreen, and just laid outside and baked, saying, "well, it'll turn into a tan in a few days." It hardly seems worth it now.
Slater on the sunscreen, wear a hat or tightly knit cotton clothing, and stay in the shade to prevent burns and anything more serious!
Thanks... that's really funny that I wrote that. Maybe a Freudian slip of sorts? Just another example of what sunburns can do to you.. (a little sun stroke is always a possibility, as well.)
I try to do the same thing, but I use Web Billpay. This way, when the bill comes in, I schedule it online and then I can pay it whenever I want and I never miss a bill.
Cheers!
you mean to stay hydrated i think. i've always heard that being well hydrated before going tanning helps your skin prevent burning as well. Don't know if there's any truth to it, but i'm a big fan of the wonders of proper water intake, so i guess it can't hurt!
I can vouch for the aloe -- it's good for all kinds of burns. I used it to help lessen radiation burns (during radiation therapy for breast cancer). It really works! It kept my radiation burns down to a bad sunburn instead of blisters.
I am a firm believer in the power of a written monthly budget. The categories you use aren't as important as just doing the budget before each month begins, but anything that makes a budget make sense for more people gets my support.
I agree that this is the best solution. But despite our best intentions, things do happen. I never get more than a minor sunburn once every few years, but it's good to know that there are ways to take the "ouch" out!
Shaving cream lotion works for me. I used it several times last year and it worked wonders. I used the men's noxzema shaving cream (red can) and it worked wonders.
The idea came via internet search for just such a simple home rememdy:
i just write my bills on a three monthe wet-erase board. it's where all appointments, activities etc go. i pay the bills immediatetly, but it's nice to track $ amounts.
And so very timely as I type with a red face and sun-burned scalp. I pressure washed our patio yesterday and got more sun than I thought I was getting. Funny how it sneaks up on you. Thanks for sharing the list of home remedies.
I'd like to start off by saying that I graduated with a 3.9 GPA and took an average of 17-21 hours/semester. I would NEVER recommend taking that many hours unless you absolutely have to.
Although I agree with the comment about going to class especially if you're a freshman, I also think there are other factors you need to consider. Is it a small class? Will the professor notice if you're in class? Is your class being taught by a graduate assistant? Does the professor give out pop quizzes or in-class assignments? Sometimes a professor is more willing to provide help to you if they see you in class and you are participating in lectures.
I have to disagree about reading the book all the time. I had several classes where the book material had little to do with what was discussed in class. Reading it would have only confused me. Know when reading the book is important and when it's not. Otherwise, you are just wasting your time.
Make friends of all types. Find someone who took the same class as you a different semester and see if they have any test material you could study or borrow. Sororities and fraternities are notorious for having files of previous tests, so making a friend with someone who has this access couldn't hurt. Also ask around before enrolling to see which professors are the best, it could make or break it for you in a particular subject.
If you have the opportunity, look for summer internships in your field. Some internships are paid, and if you do a good job they may be contacting you after graduation. It's worth a shot to get ahead in the game.
My final piece of advice would be to enjoy the experience. Don't get so caught up in your classes that you don't enjoy your time before joining the workforce.
Yes, Teresa, I heard about the Furniture Polish, tried it, worked like a charm. Even for heavy scratches, just spray it on & leave it for a few days before buffing it off. What a dream!!!! None of the commerical products have NEVER worked for me.

As for eliminating poverty - frankly, your argument is hollow. You can't be Milton Friedman, Ron Paul, LBJ, and FDR at the same time.
I reject your false dichotomy. Just because your mind is to small to accept it does not mean it's impossible. This single statement demonstrates your blind partisanship seriously hinders any kind of rational thought.
Then again, if I read between your lines correctly, you don't want to eliminate poverty. (You say if "we" want to eliminate poverty.) You just want an argument against Social Security.
See above. I can only state my position. If you take it and read more in to it than is there and twist it in to what it's not, well... I certainly can't be blamed for that.
Because, frankly, a good way to eliminate poverty would be to expand Social Security, and also create some quasi-mandatory savings plans along the lines of FSAs or education IRAs. Explanation below.
That's exactly the sort of nonsense I expect from people like you. It's not working, so let's spend more money! More money is always the answer. Just ignore the fact that we're already spending more than it would cost to completely eliminate poverty. The fact that the money we're already spending isn't targeting the right people is completely irrelevant. Ignore efficiency issues. Just spend more money. Heaven forbid Warren Buffett should forgo his Social Security check.

They have been DIGGING those coupons!

Should I give up expecting an account? Just checking.

Yes.. it's the pits. When the Dane in me doesn't fry, there's always that wee bit of Irish to make sure I get fully toasted. LOL

I feel your pain--fair Danish skin and all.

Prevent them -- that is my best solution. Why do that to your skin???

i just write my bills on a three monthe wet-erase board. it's where all appointments, activities etc go. i pay the bills immediatetly, but it's nice to track $ amounts.
As painful as it sounds, taking a hot shower to get the sting out of sunburns.
I also like using Noxema as a way to cool off the burn.
Best of luck - I hate sunburns!
