» humorous_sage - Sun Worshiping

In my youth, I loved the sun and spent most of the winter waiting for the day when I could start working on my tan. Now, I am payiing the price. I visit Mac the Knife at least twice a year and have him remove a few cancer sites. Too much of anything is apt to cause problems.

Eep--I understand what you're going through. My grandpa got himself a nice case of skin cancer after spending so much time in the sun in the service in WW2. My uncle had the same problem years after Vietnam.

I procured sun poisoning once, and now every time I burn, I go straight to itchy blisters. The Sun can definitely do damage!

» biogardener - . . . the sun and the moon and the stars by night . . .

I think that is the name of a song or at least a phrase out of one.

If you want to write an article on the moon, I have a great site from where you can use free photographs. I have used some of them in one of my articles where I link to the site:

In response to message posted by Dantessa:

During WW II, the only sun I remember getting was on the handball courts in Panama. My problem arose from the beaches of Southern California where I spend too much time worshipping the sun.

» biogardener - Do you realize . . .

Do you realize that until Noah's Flood, the sky was overcast all the time? The sun therefore did not have the stinging power which it now has. At that time plants received water through dew rather than through rain. I guess the natural elements were gentler then.

I read about that many years ago in a book written by a German archaeologist.
