steve_savicki: friendly but important reminder
Sorry if Spam, but for those that own anything G.I. Joe or even not, if you're not on a hospital bed needing blood, there's always time to give the gift of life and be thankful this Christmas. This is something very personal to me and I am a proud donor. A Joe's action in this sense, perhaps Lifeline. Merry Christmas to all!

I donated blood only once, and it was rejected by the red cross and lead to years of supposed medical troubles for me. Ergo, I no longer donate blood, but I'm a very strong supporter.

When the Red Cross told me that I have a rare blood type, the collector in me decided that it will only increase in value if I do my part to keep it rare. That said, I do not donate blood. I do, however, encourage others to do so.

Commander, I'm confused how being rejected lead to medical problems. I may be the one misunderstanding something here.

You could just bleed yourself a pint at a time and keep it in your freezer until you see fit to sell it. You'd be controlling the distribution like OPEC, but with blood.

My dad was military adn encouraged me to give, and he was in some x-amount Gallon Club for his lifetime donations. All because some techie clerk screwed up my bag o' life.

I have my Gold blood drop pin from years ago, but no longer can give due to my high blood pressure as well as the meds I take on a regular basis.
I also have given plasma MANY times as well. |

I'd think with high blood pressure it'd be good to give blood. In theory, wouldn't less blood equal lower pressure? I've never given blood, and don't know if I would. It's kinda disgusting, and I don't know if I'd want blood given to me. Not to say nobody should, I just don't want it done.

The blood pressure thing has more to do with medications being found in the blood than the actual amount in his body.
