Not a Good Start

If you decide to take a stroll outside in winter before the sun comes up, you may want to consider wearing your contacts. If you wear your glasses, they will fly about 3 feet behind you when the back of your head hits the ice you didn't see in the dark. Nothing says "drunken idiot" like crawling around in ice, mud, and snow feeling for your glasses with a concussion.

Even though I was sober.

Well, at least it's better than feeling for a contact lens in the dark with a concussion.

Happy New Year, Jenelle!

You should get some of those fancy spectacle bugnees to keep your glasses firmly in place during hazardous activities like walking.

Well at least you hit your head, landing on any other part might have resulted in an injury.

bugnees? how the hell is a pair of bug knees going to help you keep your glasses on? Frickin' Georgian rednecks and their country remedies.
