Thurza,

I thought I was the only one that broke that rule. I've had more black

eyes that I care to think about. I do have one good solution for

getting rid of your black eyes faster. Not before Christmas but maybe

before that New Years party. Get a ice pack and a hot wash cloth. Put

the ice pack over your eyes for about two minutes then take the hot

cloth and do the same. Alternate this for 10 minutes. Do this three or

four times a day. I usually do this at the sink and while I'm putting

the ice on I let the hot water run over the cloth so it will be hot

when I'm ready to use it.

This helps to brake up the dried blood and will clear your eyes faster.

I was surprised how fast it worked the first time I tried it.
