After donating blood today I was wondering how many THT'ers donate.
With the holiday season here there is a greater need for it due to accidents , believe it or not.
STARVE A MOSQUITO.....................DONATE BLOOD
By the way I'm type A-

Regular donor, don't much care for the needle, don't like the procedure, but I get'er done anyway.
Once a year come heck or high water, more often if some one I know is being operated on and needs blood exchange. I think in 2004 I got drained 4 times, the plant nurse pitched a tantrum when she found out.

I work with them twice a year at blood donor clinics . . . I had hepatitis as a kid so I can not donate
And I always heard that you got Hepatitis from Pamela Anderson!
I tried to give a couple of years ago, and they refused me when they asked if I had been to Haiti in the past so many years and I answered yes. Do they still turn you away if you have visited certain countries in the recent past? I would like to give but have been too lazy to ask if the rules have changed.
I don't have to remember to volunteer. The blood clinic tends to call me atleast once a year. They say I have one of the rare blood types at B+ so it apparantly does not take long for them to get short on their stock.
I'm called regularly and will give if I'm in town. Just gave 3 days ago. A nice benefit from this Red Cross unit is that they give you your total cholesterol # five days after you give. That gives extra incentive to get there when the R/C bus arrives.
for those that don't give ,you might aught to try it at least once,heck ya get a free T-shirt,cookies and juice but the best thing[ besides saving a life ] is you get to find out what type of blood you have. It is something that could save your own life by not having to wait to get typed in the event of an emergency.
