What Takes 0.15% Of Your Time......
and would be a great thing to do?
Give blood. I went for the first time in my life to voluntarily give blood this morning. I hate needles passionately, but it is obviously good for the community. It takes 2 hours max. I was there for 1½ hours. They ask you questions like "Have you had sex with a male cow in England?"....simple questions like that. I would like to think that with 40,000 members here on CT if I could persuade 1% of the people here to go give blood, to make it a habitual gesture, it would be a huge infusion into the American Red Cross supply of something that is always in need. I know in my past I have needed someones selflessness of giving to not only help myself, but also my wife. In this tough time of people needing things, I'm asking you....will you please give? It costs you nothing except a very small amount of your time. Go here to find a local blood drive

Sorry, between the tattoos and spending time every year overseas, they never let me give blood. I've offered it up numerous times but they always say 'no'. Too risky of a lifestyle.

How many months after having sex with a male cow do you have to wait before your blood can be acceptable?

Yea, most of us ones that were in the military can forget giving. Not allowed. Especially if you went to the ME. They turn away alot of otherwise very clean folks with their requirements.

Re: What Takes 0.15% Of Your Time......
Yeah, I was surprised a little by the exclusion of military personnel, but I see their general reasoning. Different countries, tattoos...
touché heritage. good one, I left myself open for that one.

My Wifey went today to deliver food to the elderly. They prepare them at a local church and you deliver them to the homes.
She was surprised at the amount of people that turned out to help. She was also surprised how many people needed the food. If I don't have any estimates next Saturday I am going to take my truck and go with her. |
