They say that each donation saves "up to" three lives. Typical fuzzy promotional language. The Red Cross app lets you join a team and compete to save more lives than anyone else. Just sayin', it's a little lonely on this team. Do they let people wander into the ER to observe, or do you have to be actively bleeding? Maybe I could build up my tolerance with YouTube videos of surgery. A little desensitization could be a good thing, though I am wary of going overboard.You're a life saver.
Spend 5 minutes in Emergency once a week
If someone asks, you could say you were waiting for someone. Maybe when you start to look creepy, you'd have to rotate through all the DC hospitals. I'd join your team, except I'm in Canada. After a tainted blood scandel, blood donation was handed over to a not-the-Red-Cross agency called Canadian Blood Services. I'm sure blood donations save lives. As an O negative, I'm the universal donor. I'll have to get on to it -- if they take me. Last time my hemoglobin was low. The time before that, they didn't like some lipid or other that was floating around (too much rich food in Paris). It's a disincentive to have one's blood rejected twice in a row.
Hey, I too am an O- If Hubski ever needs blood, we can come to the rescue.
The bummer about being the universal donor is that while we can give blood to anyone, we can only receive it from another type O- We can be there for each other in this regard.
Don't lose any blood until we get this worked out. The US-Canada thing could be a problem. (tee hee) I suggest that all of hubski create an organ donation registry so we can all be there for each other. Oh wait, usually you are dead when you donate an organ. Maybe we better just use the services that are locally available. That is until we can create an internet blood flow program. (sounds like a potential love song)
Hey now, I'm not the one that ordered "sangria" the last time we were out together.
You're lucky I'm not there. Last time I barely made it out alive. I'm not kidding. I turn in to a maniac in Vegas.
Sorry to hear of your untimely demise ;-)Last time I nearly made it out alive. I'm not kidding.
Ha. Edited, thanks. Really though, I think I almost died.
Actually that sounds amazing. Best bachelor party I ever attended was in Jaco, Costa Rica. It was kinda like "the hangover", except, ya know, real as fuck. Still the worst thing that happened on that trip was when a lady on the plane ride home wanted to show me pictures of her rain forest adventure, all the while sporadically laughing like an idiot at the in flight movie, "grownups". So tired and hanging like hell. Wanted to kill myself right then and there. Anyway I suspect this one will be tamer. I'm older, lamer. My friends are older, lamer. Also, $200 doesn't buy you enough candy to kill a horse in Vegas like it does in Jaco.
