Lori Alexander 84: Stay Away from the Pool


Recommended Posts

From Lori's Facebook today: The women who don’t love their husbands are blaspheming His Word. They are contentious and quarrelsome. They deny their husbands sexually. They manipulate and control them through their emotions and feelings by giving them the silent treatment, withholding sex, and whatever means they can think of in order to change their husbands and demand their own way.

I am older than Lori, and I get out much more than she does. I have friends both within and outside of the church. I know no woman who fits this description. How does Lori seemingly know so many? Maybe this is just a description of herself as she was/is.

Every time she spews her nonsense it is like a window into her own life with Ken.

I’ve seen a few on parents at the wading pools and splash pads near me. I’m surprised that people are comfortable with that much skin exposure when the UV index is through the roof but I’m certainly not offended. Both my parents have had bouts of skin cancer and cancer ultimately took my dad’s life so I’m in a rash guard and swim skirt. My kiddo is small for her age so she’s sporting a wetsuit type of bathing suit (toddler ones have snaps at the legs and are cheap. She still wears size 3T). 

     I see a be-thonged lady every time I go to the pool. She has numerous tattoos and is not Barbie-built. She apparently has school-age kids with whom she does not need to be in the water because she lays on her stomach, poolside, tanning her bare rump. 

      All I can say is, years ago when I took my daughter (now 30) to the roller rink, my jaw dropped at the tatted-up, multiply pierced other parents (and they probably thought I, an older mom, looked like Grandma Gert). And I realized, this is what people look now. These are who pick their kids up at school, enroll them in VBS and take their kids to sports. This is the fashion.

     So even if I was not thrilled to look at this lady's bare buttocks all summer, it doesn't mean she doesn't love her kids or try to be a good person.

Good for her for wearing whatever she wants! And I sincerely hope she has slathered on the sunscreen! It’s 32C where I live today. My whole family went to an outdoor theatre production and women of all ages were dressed in every manner of dress. I did wince for the extremely fair skinned woman in a tube top who had blisters on her sunburn. There is a movement where I live that is pushing the « sunscreen is toxic and the real reason for skin cancer » theory. I have to admit, I am worried about the individuals who buy in.

@Expectopatronus, and Lori is one of those anti-sunscreen nitwits, claiming it causes skin cancer. Guess what *can* cause skin cancer? Sunburn!

I can’t help remembering my extremely blonde neighbor and her first bikini in the late ‘60s. There was no sunscreen back then, and she got second-degree sunburn all over her chest, just from spending time in her backyard pool.

You know how on Facebook, you'll get 'People You May Know' and you can scroll sideways to see a bunch of people you...well, may or may NOT know? Y'all, Ken Alexander keeps popping up on mine. 🤣

Eh, we had sunscreen in the 60s.  I remember my mother making me put it on.  It wasn't as effective as what we have now.  We also had people coating themselves in baby oil and was it Tropicana oil for a deeper, darker tan.  There were ads on TV truly for a deeper, darker tan.  Of course, we had cigarette ads, too.

Yes, remember the Coppertone ads with the dog pulling on the little girl’s bathing suit?

It was supposed to minimize the sun’s ultraviolet rays, but it wasn’t the sunscreen we have today. 
 

My sister-in-law used to put baby oil on and lie in the sun back in the 60’s. She had what could be a deadly  form of skin cancer a few years back, but thankfully it was caught quickly and she has not had any further issues.

They have definitely made improvements, but we did have some protection available and thankfully my mother made use of it.  I can thank her for the lack of wrinkles compared to most of my friends.

I don’t remember SPF being mentioned on suntan lotion products or ads back in the ‘60s, and IIRC they were only intended to protect your skin from drying out. I do remember the baby oil thing: some girls mixed it with iodine or something to create a fake tan.

Oh, and those foil reflectors for making your face extra tan!

I attribute my relative lack of wrinkles to genetics and not being a sun worshipper.

There was some sun protection.  Some were labeled sun protection while other products were for moisturizing and others for deep and even tanningg.  I don't remember when SPF became part of the label requirements, but by the 60s some were labeled as having six hour protection and such.  I could research I guess.  I remember the reflectors, too.  What ideas we had.  Since you made me think about it:

Quote

The first ultraviolet B filters were produced in 1928. Followed by the first sunscreen, invented in Australia by chemist H.A. Milton Blake, in 1932 formulating with the UV filter 'salol' (Phenyl salicylate) at a concentration of 10%.

Quote

For the first time, people were able to buy sunscreen in 1932. However, long before sunscreen made its appearance in America, it was a commonly used toiletry product in Australia. Milton Blake, a popular Australian chemist, created the first successful commercial sunscreen for his company.

Quote

In the 1960s, the first instance of SPF (sun protection factor) appeared. However, the amount added to suntan lotions was incredibly low—around 2-4 SPF. And the additives were often thick, oily, and did not effectively rub into the skin. Between the 1970s and 1980s, tanning oils increased in popularity.

So my mom was out of step with insisting I use what sun protection was available including hats, but the beginning of sunscreen products was there.  Another article claimed SPF 15 at some point in the 60s which is about what I remember as the first SPF on a bottle.

My mother put mayonnaise on her skin in the 70s. Grossed us out but she had a great tan.

I remember suntan lotion in the sixties. Coppertone, mainly, I remember the smell to this day! When I started working at a drugstore in '76, we had SPF 4, 8, and I think 15. Coppertone, Hawaiian Tropic (man, did that stuff smell great!), Bain du Soleil, and one or two other brands I can't remember now. I think Hawaiian Tropic may even have had an SPF 2 label on their oil, which basically meant it was useless at blocking anything! I usually used a 4 or 8, and got burned anyway, even if I was only out in the sun for 30 or 45 minutes. Never got a tan.

Despite all the advances in sunscreen, there is nothing that beats a sturdy wide brimmed hat.  My very fair basset pup does not like sunscreen on her face so she owns a collection of wide brimmed hats, bonnets, field hats, and topee.

Not just hats, but hats made of or lined with sun protective fabric that blocks 99+ per cent of UV rays.  I've been wearing those since they first came out.  The companies also make scarves, shirts, pants, swim wear, etc out of sun protective fabric.

Yep. My bathing suit is SPF 50. Because I don’t care how stupid I look as long as I don’t burn, I bought my swim skirt and rash guard from Lands End Kids. Size 16+ fits, has the aforementioned SPF and I paid less than $20. Sure the skirt is lime green and the top is aqua with pink and lime flowers on it but it was cheap and I am protected.

I remember when the first "self-tanning" tanner came out in the late 70s -- QT...I couldn't wait to use it. I ended up with rusty looking hands (I guess I didn't see the small print to wash your hand after use).  That stuff turned you orange!

And that was the other one I'd forgotten! LOL. I never used it, not sure why as I was always trying to get at least a little bit of tan. Now that I read your story, I'm glad I didn't!😮

I tried it once luckily on a Monday on a week with no plans.  I stayed home showering twice a day trying to get rid of the orange.  I didn't get near a self-tanner for decades after that..

From Lori's Facebook page a day ago, "Men used to need women to bare their children," (italics mine)

I guess men have now figured out how to take off their children's clothes.

This is written by the woman who homeschooled her children and who holds a California teaching credential.

I remember having SPF 8 in the 80s.

From one of Lori leghumpers 2 days ago.  This is one of the most, probably the most,  effed-up ridiculous pieces of nonsense I've ever read on Lori's FB page.  Of course Lori and the fangirls loved it.

Bolding mine.

Quote

(Male Leghumper)  Humans are made to suffer, that seems to be one of our purposes in life. I can't understand how some dude can get what he needs just from porn and not his wife. Sounds like low t to me. I def agree that marriage makes one holy and is about helping ones spouse towards Christ. Basically if something is difficult and causes one immense suffering, then it's probably the correct path. He suffered for us, and so suffering is righteous.

So . . . let me get this straight.  God wants us to suffer. God wants us to suffer immensely.

Immensely suffering = good = on the correct path,  Not immensely suffering= bad = on the wrong path. 

Suffering = makes us righteous. Not suffering = makes us unrighteous.  People who suffer = good righteous people.  People who don't suffer = bad unrighteous people.

Lori and Male Leghumper -- show me exactly where in the Bible God tells us he want us to suffer immensely. Because I call absolute total BS on this made up nonsense

The Bible does mention we may suffer persecution for out faith.  Yet John 10:10 says the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus comes so we may have life abundantly (not that that passage means riches).

Life sucks sometimes, yet overall I believe God wants us to have joy. As earthly parents we hate to see our children suffer, so why would God want that for His children?
