so i am going to go attempt to give blood again tomorrow

[Baliset]

and i learned my lesson the last time and will remember to eat beforehand this time so that my body won't go into shock and pass out.

 

[minxnim]

omg greg make sure you eat something with COMPLEX carbs like some dried apples!
i should give blood soon too. i wonder where i could go?

 

[mindspell]

They won't let me give blood because I have cardiac arythmia... which doesn't change anything in my normal life (including sports and all normal activity) but they are apparently worried about it....

 

[Baliset]

i plan on hitting the salad bar and also having a sandwich or something before i head down to the Rhode Island Blood Center. i think i get some gift certificates for something for donating as well.

 

[minxnim]

they should hook you up with cookies too

 

[Baliset]

oh yeah they have a shit ton of cookies waiting for you when you finish!

 

[minxnim]

cookie bonanza. and the mini apple juice cups. it makes it all worth it.

is it bad that i lie about my weight and donate blood? you have to be over 110.

 

[avi]

my brother had his vein collapse once b/c he was so underweight and tried to give blood.

 

[minxnim]

uh oh.
well i mean i've never gotten even dizzy or had to eat afterward. and i've never gotten sick?

 

[Baliset]

i think lying in service of your fellow humans is ok.

 

[minxnim]

yea it's like, i had to get blood when i was really really sick and i was so glad there were people who donated so i could have it. so now that i'm better i kinda want to help and stuff.
i bet my veins are a-ok.

 

[avi]

it sounds worse than it was. it just meant they couldn't draw a drop from him.

 

[minxnim]

oh. well they'll get some out of me.

 

[Steve]

I find it funny that when they do check ID's at a High School blood drive they don't accept school ID's

 

[FrostGiant]

I've never given blood.

 

[minxnim]

so i gave blood today. it was neat and i got apple juice and stuff.

 

[FrostGiant]

I've been watching the Simpsons all day.

 

[minxnim]

good job pal

 

[FrostGiant]

I'm still watching the Simpsons. I am leaving in about an hour though. Heading to Milwaukee for the ND show.

 

[coelacanth_M]

they won't let me give blood either. i'm too small. (80 pounds.)
