win-win for all.


btw - you can donate blood every 56 days.
if you recently got a tattoo, you cannot give blood for a year. or, if you're like me and lived in the UK for 2-3 months? or longer - i was there a year - between i think 1986-2000.....they will not accept your blood at all. :( they are worried i carry mad-cow anti-bodies or sumthin'.

indeed. so yes, no drinking my blood, sorry.
tonight shall be fun!


mmmmm...mexican.
still deciding what i shall drink...mixed drinks...or wine.....? decisions, decisions.


back on topic:
funny thing is, i used to donate blood regularly and they accepted and used it. then a couple years later they dcame up with this 'restriction' in regards to living in the UK/madcow, etc. thing is tho, ALL the time that i donated blood before....i had already lived in london...so there are a few people who got my (possibly( madcow antibodies thru blood in any case. who knew?

Smoking pot has no effect on somebodies ability to accept your blood, it doesn't make your blood unsafe and there are no transmittable disease risks (other than laziness) involved with being a pot smoker.

I smoke every day and still donate blood 4 or 5 times a year and due a shortage of my blood type they practically beg me to come back.

I have a very "uncommon" (is it right?) type of blood, I can only accept my type....so every time I hear that someone needs my type of blood I donate...I think I'm falling in love with those needles
