This is funny because I too had pretty much the same thing happen to me last weekend and I too thought about mentioning it. I never ever burn...ever. I have always been able to darken really easily and I can get really dark, sometimes Mexicans will speak to me in spanish as if I can understand them, and non whites will often ask me what I am, whites never have this problem, it's annoying cause being Caucasian doesn't necessarily mean that your "white", I just chalk it up to ignorance. Anyway I went to Soak City in Chula Vista and I got one seriously nasty burn all over my body aswell did my mom, neice and cousin and I remember that day I was thinking something is seriously strange with the sun and my mom basically says the same thing I was just thinking. Weird.

And I, Who always needed an alarm clock my whole life, Have been waking up when I need to without it or just seconds before the one I set goes off??? I do however, feel yuo are correct in this post, it has a lot to do with the sun, but there are also very many other factors, as some are having unseasonably, rainy, cold weather. I think I am going to visit one of those places because Right now I feel like I might spontaneuously combust in the heat down here in Florida!!!!

In my area, we are getting colder than normal temperatures. Spring was really late and it is dryer than normal. I wish that I could get a tan! I was wondering also why it is that since the 90's when sunscreen started to become so popular, the skin cancer rate has risen so much? Could sunscreen be a carcinogen? "In my opinion it must be and I don't use it. It's not natural to slather yourself in chemicals. The sun is natural, just don't over do it. Plus, people have become vitamin B deficient because of sunscreen.

Just remember to Slip, Slop, Slap!
(slip on a t shirt, slap on some sunscreen and slap on a hat - sorry that was drilled into us at school!)

YOU MUST BE 50+!!

I remember those days.. crikey. hehe

now, I wish sun on cold people and warmth on the freezing, but here in WA it's bloody cold and I like it. I don't want it to change. because this cold is soooo much better than that horrible heat we get.. sheesh.

I can wrap up in a blanket, snuggle my cat and be warm... in the heat, all I can do is fan hot air at me..

Roll on status quo

that's weird that you mentioned that. I mean, I've always needed an alarm clock, but I have been having the WORST trouble waking up lately. It's so bad that my facebook status said "I'm tired of being tired". I go to bed promptly at 10:30 just about every night before I have to wake up at 7:45 in the morn to go to work. So that's plenty of sleep.

but another weird thing is that I have been waking up almost exactly 10 minutes before my alarm clock goes off. Waking up, not necessarily GETTING up

And, yes, the birds have been waking me up even when it's still dark outside at about 5:30 in the morn.

I have sunbathed all of my life. My skin tans in the summer and I don't have to "lay out", but I do. I have had a pool for most of my life too. I get "brown as a biscuit" as the saying goes in my neck of the woods.
Over the years of swimming, sunbathing, fishing...whatever it is, I have never ever had a sunburn...I have sat in a boat in the sun from sun up to sun down before, many times...no sunburn, just a nice dark tan...but this past week...I got in the pool on my raft and just basked and floated for about an hour and a half... my legs and abdomen later that night were nearly purple and so sore that I couldn't stand it...that was four days ago and they are still tender, although they have turned from purple to red to a slighly tan color... I did the same thing all last summer and never had this problem... I truly don't understand what is different this summer!

Sounds like your skin has had enough to me.

Extensive sun bathing is not good.

Did you wear sun cream?

The very fact that the sun and our atmosphere is stable enough for us to live is amazing!

Fluctuations in intensity is normal no?

Like most things on here that peeps think weird are actually quite normal but just observed closely and reported

My problem is that the sun is not out enough...

Thats seems to me a perfect case of sunburn, this particularly happens when u r near a water resiorvior as the sun reflected from the water is very intense. U shud use some good sunblock!
