Give Blood
 

I give blood about twice a year. It is virtually painless and obviously is needed by society. I have had no ill effects from giving. I urge those of you who are able to give blood in the near future.

QFT. You can give 4 times a year if you want to. If you ask nice, you can get a beer afterwards (at least in Denmark [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img])

It's my blood so I'm gonna keep it. If they give me a price I may ponder.

And when that blood of yours is spilling out by the quarts after being in a car accident, are you going to wish everyone was like you, or that there are some good-hearted generous people that gave blood to save your life?

I don't give blood, but that's because I have an intense phobia of needles. Intense like, I cried every time I got a shot up until I was 14. Having said that, If I was ever in an accident and needed a blood transfusion, but for some reason wasn't able to get it because of people like myself, i'd be cool with that. I'd be pissed if I couldn't get it because people just didn't want to give it because they're not getting paid, or because they just don't feel like it though.

Actually, on second thought, it would be fairly easy for me to give blood. I would just need to faint before they actually stick the needle in me, and that doesn't really sound that hard to me. Well I guess i'll sign up with my mom next time and see how that works.

This is not only dumb, it's also stupid. You can't even call it selfish. Giving blood costs you nothing other than time (and that should be less than a 1/2 hour). If you are healthy, your body will replace it quickly and you could be saving the lives of several other people with each donation.

Here in New York, I know that you can donate once every 56 days. I try to make sure I get in at least four times per year.

In the US, you can give every 56 days. I also encourage anyone who isn't afraid of needles, is straight, and hasn't lived in England for more than a few months to give blood.

Solution: lay on the table and look the other way. If you don't see the needle, it is not there.

The nurses that take the blood are pretty good at it. Also, I guarantee that there will be at least one hottie, either a nurse or another donator. You can use this to get over your needle phobia. Just relax.
