Rubies sparkle, stir
magic sniffs the air with lust
black velvet, bright red
******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
“Ruby Tuesday” blares
kicking back, weed, cheap vodka
He sighs, I miss that.
*********************************************************************************************************************************
My ruby-red, lips,
strawberry colored sad tears
As he slips away.

You flatter me. But I’ve only used diluted chlorine bleach and long (outdoor) soaks. There might be other ways, though. 🙂

except for one stinker

My husband thought burying a stinker and then digging it back up after the soil critters have a chance to clean it off might help. But I don’t know it this would work in winter. And I don;t know if the shell would survive.
