For the first time ever, I was unable to donate blood. The lady missed my artery and my arm was on fire. I couldn't take the pain anymore. Can't wait to see the size of the bruise that's going to show up.
How often do you give blood? Just once a year or quarter? What are your thoughts about shrinking the period between in times of need?
The last time I tried to give blood I was denied. Not for the same reason DB gets denied, but for taking antibiotics.

I thought it was because you were too thin and didn't weigh enough.
just got the scoop. it's his 1/2 sister and they've never met before. he's got to be thinking impure thoughts.
Everytime they hold a drive at work which is about every 4-5 months. I don't know what the health aspects of donating faster than every two months, but if there's no health risk from less blood, I'd be all for it.

I asked him, specifically, for a reason.Because you can only regenerate plasma that fast and you get less and less red blood cells as it takes 8 weeks for generating those. And we need red blood cells for feeding our body.
Some people faint already as it is. This would make that worse.
They made those illegal in florida. Points and a fine for a moving violation.
It's ok, AIDS treatment has come a long way.They won't let me donate either
You mean the jacked up truck and cut off exhaust pipes don't cut it?That's ridiculous.
They let you spot the idiot very rapidly.
Quite useful.
