In other news, tonight Tom and I go and make our regular (every 8 week) donation at the blood bank! I am O- and Tom is A+ and we try to go as often as we can. It really amazes me how few people do this. I understand the needle can be a bit scary, but literally for 30-45 minutes of your time, you can save a life. Where else do you get that kind of opportunity? And that is why we try to go whenever we are able. It doesn't really hurt, takes minimal time, AND they give you free juice and snacks after! Saving someone's life is rarely easier :)
How many of you donate? And if not, why?

I donated blood ONCE. I went b/c they were handing out coupons for FREE Dunkin Donuts coffee! I passed out and the lady gave me two coupons. I haven't been back. :)

ReplyDeleteAlicia, I am sorry to hear you passed out! Try eating something more substantial before going and then stay in the chair a few minutes(and then move slowly at first) and you probably won't have that problem again! :)
ReplyDeleteAmes! You are welcome! I am so glad that you are doing this AND that you won the special spot! woo hoo!! Obviously from my post (and the fact that I told your mom-hahaha) I am super excited for you and feel so proud of you, despite the fact that its completely random! haha! :)
