I E-mailed Ryan Reynolds, and This is His Response

     Earlier this week, Ryan Reynolds appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to promote Deadpool 2's DVD release, and his new baby, a gin company. Reynolds is one of the owners of Aviation Gin, which sounds like the coolest liquor name I've heard of since college. I urge you to visit their website and sigh of over the background photo of Reynolds tipping back a glass of gin.

During the interview and hard-to-stomach game of Drinko, Fallon mentioned hearing that Reynolds's business associates have told him to tone down bis auto-reply E-mail message. Then Reynolds mentioned his e-mail on the broadcast, and I wrote it down (about two days later when I watched the episode), and dropped him a note. The below screenshot is from Reynolds's e-mail auto replay and includes his typical dry humor. This high level of communication basically means I'm being invited over for a gin sampling with Ryan and his wife Blake any day now... thus begins my 15 minutes of fame!

Sunburn Remedies: Final Day 7

DAY 7: REBIRTH
I've tolerated all kinds of pain in my life, but nothing prepared me for the day my stomach would start molting to a new layer of skin. I'm finally back to wearing pants and a normal seat belt, but my stomach is ready for new challenges as it brings a fresh layer to life.

PAIN LEVEL (1-5 SCALE):
1. I wish I could say no pain, but peeling skin always causes some sort of discomfort.

REMEDY:
I had to start flaking this stuff off! I changed into a bathing suit for the first time in a week and saw a white layer of skin slowly separating. What did I do? Naturally, I let it flake off like crazy!

Sunburn Remedies: Day 4

Day 4: I FEEL HUMAN AGAIN
via GIPHY- Damon slips into his old vamp ways in The Vampire Diaries.

Today is the first day my stomach is not looking like the inside of an under-cooked chicken! I'm less pink and there is some sort of brown edging forming, almost like a bad tanning lotion application.

PAIN LEVEL: (1-5 Scale)
Still hanging at a 2 today. More than anything, I feel a little dehydrated. I've been drinking tons of tea and water all week.

Remedy:
Aside from a daily application of aloe, I'm letting this day go by without any new pain relieving methods. My new method, aside from hydration, is to do nothing. I even managed to wear a skirt that loosely came near my stomach today!
