    I got a call from the Red Cross this morning, seems it's time to donate again. Gotta love having sought after O Negative blood. :bigsmile:

    You get that too huh? I have a special CMV factor in mine that they love to give mine to the premies... so they snag me once a month :laugh:


    I always made sure I took in lots of fluids and protein on those days.

    I remember in High School ( way back when) they had a blood drive and they wouldn't let me give because I was under 110 lbs...... ahh..how things change LOL

    O- member here as well! I get calls AND e-mails - thus donate pretty regularly every 8 weeks. I do feel tired for a few days afterwards (hard to put all my effort into my workout - I still workout even though they say not to do anything strenous for 72 hours - just tone it down a notch.)

    On the plus side - at least I weight a bit less after donating :laugh:

    I'll give blood just to have someone tell me I can't work out :laugh:

    Maybe I should cut back. Only people over the age of 21 are given my blood. :embarassed:

    i'd like to give blood, but their stupid rules about waiting a whole year after getting tattoos and piercings prevents me. how is that any more dangerous than having wild unprotected sex? especially if you go reputable places that sterilize their equipment?:grumble:
