New Meaning to Red Eye

2AprilSuzanneHome in the Rookery, Rumblings

Note to self: Red means danger.Â Red means stop.Â Red means don’t-put-it-in-your-eye. I have the kind of contacts which soak overnight in a peroxide solution.Â They get nicely cleaned, and by morning the peroxide’s neutralized.Â Then, I keep a saline solution at hand, and squirt a bit of that in the contacts before putting them

Here’s a love poem, for you.Â If you’re the kind of guy who usually sweeps your girl with a fancy dress event, a dimly lit but classy dinner, and maybe something exotic to the taste or delicately blooming, you can take a few suggestions from this fellow and really open her eyes.
