  10. I think I'll make an appointment to donate blood. After all the shootings in the states, the need is great.

  11. Hello,
    I have often tried to donate, it seems my blood does not like leaving my body, lol. Enjoy your day, have a happy new week!

  14. I have given blood more than 75 times, got the certificate to prove it, but sadly some current medication won't let me give any more.

  16. We have a bloodmobile that visits our resort in Florida a couple of times during the season. Now that they have changed the regulations and there is no upper age limit for donations.

  19. My hubby apparently has an O+ or O-, and they love him. They even called him and set up a date and time. He never catches the date.

  22. In the days when I gave blood regularly they called me. My husband would answer and tell me "The vampires are calling."

  23. Seeing a blood donation site always makes me sad - ever since I lived in the UK, I have not been allowed to donate blood in the US for fear that my blood might be contaminated with mad cow's disease!
