Want to, but can't. Stupid hemoglobin levels are "borderline." so they won't let me.

I try to donate every 8 weeks. In December, I reached the 6 gallon mark. Everyone that can should donate. There is always a need for blood.

I started donating while still in high school. I quit giving by my early 30s after a crappy experience while giving. Now, I can't give since I live out of the country most of the year.

Yep, closing in on my 32 gal , yes I am old, but can still donate so far.

Money goes further.

Damn Brownback.

In my late teen years, a bunch of us donated in honor of a friend who was having surgery. A few years later, while in the service, some fellows GI's & I would donate regularly because we'd figured out what a coupla beers could do for ya right afterwards. We even had a designated driver as nooobody wanted to deal with the top sarge & a DUI.
Babboy, no punching. You're s'posed to donate your blood, not theirs.

Can't, anymore! When I lived overseas, I was allowed to donate, and I did so every time there was a blood drive. When I returned, I was not. The reason cited was that I had lived overseas for too long. Maybe my inability to grasp that logic stems from a latent case of "Mad Cow Disease"?
BABBOY 2 years, 3 months ago
No, I have not.
I think it is a good idea.
But, one thing that bothers me is needles being poke into the vein. It makes me want to punch the person -- which by the ways seems like a natural reaction to such a thing by the way.
I do not have that big of an issue with shots -- but the vein thing pisses me off.....

Didn't we just ask this question a week ago?

I used to, but I take so many prescription drugs now that no one wants my blood.

Plasma is where its at.

Of course. But the collection points have become so restrictive that they have limited the donations; once I brought a gallon with me and they weren't interested. You'd think it'd be easy to match up those that are dying to give with those in need.

It leaves me feeling blue . . or a little green around the gills. Or maybe that's just my camera lens . .
RoeDapple 2 years, 3 months ago
Yes but not lately.
Loki 2 years, 3 months ago
No, I sparkle and 'draw' blood ;)
