Hey Denver area. The local blood centers haven't had donations for a couple of days. If you can, they could use yours.
 
if you gimme a day or so i will bleed out my neighbors and send you the blood....


Huh?

LOL, my neighbors are a few kids that missed out on being extra's for 2 fast 2 furious, so they make up for it by revving their engines at 2-4 am and racing down the street like a couple of assclowns. they are in the Mood for giving blood.... with a little help

Great post, mmburtch. Blood centers everywhere could use the assist. It doesn't take long and can save a life.

Perhaps sometime next year we could have a CigarPass blood drive. Just imagine all the fortunate folks walking around with fine Nicaraguan, Dominican, or Honduran nicotine in their systems. :D

I just donated platlets on Tuesday!! Holy shnikies!! They draw the blood, run through a centrifuge, seperate the platlets, add some anti-coagulant, and put the now room temp blood back into ya!!

It like instant air conditioning!! I had to have three blankets on me because the cool blood being pumped back made my veins contract. I looked like a pile of laudry under all the blankets. I'm going to save donating platlets for summer time :laugh:

The plus is that you can donate platlets every two weeks as opposed to eight weeks for blood. I'm starting to look like a heroin addict......

Very nice, Quade. I've been doing apheresis for years. Takes a little longer than a regular blood donation, but I enjoy it more. I usually bring a book, get under the warming blanket and snack on Tums and trail mix for an hour and a half. All for a good cause. It would be nice as hell if I could smoke a cigar at the same time -- I'd donate more often!
 
Just a funny story to share with you folks: When stationed at a Naval Hosp. or BAS, we were often offered the day off if we would volunteer to give a pint. The problem was, you'd spend your whole watch standing in line waiting to give. ;)

Doc.

That's a great way to go if you have the time... :thumbs: :thumbs:

I used to donate platlets every all the time at the Blood Bank here; they'd throw in a movie and I'd lay back and enjoy it......

Then MAD COW hit the scene and since I spent nearly the entire '90s decade in Germany, I'm forever banned by the RED CROSS because they have no way to check your blood for that... :angry:

But for those who can donate, it's a great thing to do....regularly. GIVE THE GIFT OF LIFE...

:thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:
 
I'm more'n half through a year's hiatus because of some ink I got last May. Look forward to donating again in the spring...
