I've never donated blood before.
However at my new job there are these girls who frequently hustle other people around for blood.
At first I said no but then they explained that its for extracting special kind of cells and that changed my view.
I hope they won't hustle me for a spinal tap.

I'm not really attracted to them but I'll spare 20ml of blood for their science.

Erythroid precursors and what makes them switch between hemoglobin genes.

so they are looking for the transcription factors responsible? or are they studying the environmental factors causing the expression of those genes?

They are looking for non coding RNAs that drive the hemoglobin gene switch.

Whoah, 20 ml? Come back when you give a pint quarterly to ensure bitches can get boobjobs or heart transplants or whatever they do with it. It's cool that you have special science blood though. I wish I did.

I know a guy who owns a blood shop in Buffalo. He's been working their for three weeks, my brother said he was planning on setting one up in Canada a year later. He first informed me that he wasn't going to do it for a little bit longer than usual, since he had to speak to my wife about something she said the night before. For she summoned someone to exchange a small word of advise to someone whom left their clothes at the party, as if them leaving their clothes behind a party in which they were invited or wanted, as if the party wasn't even thrown for them but was thrown for people much better and excellent and sweet. Since you can see when amid people of great heart and spread warmth of spirit to you among you trying to take distrust for something that wasn't said to you.
For you might be spoken to in a way that suggests you weren't the one it was meant to be sent to, as if you were just in the way and deserved to have it informed to you bc of voluntary torture. For when we are sweet to nearly everyone we embellish the entire world with a golden vision which dedicates the moment to making things much more sweeter than ever imagined, as if you couldn't even imagine the amount of sweetness dedicated in its folds, as if you could only see the vision of this sweetness being some momentary pleasure which disengaged itself from you and betrayed you when you least expected it.
My brother used to donate blood for free at this clinic nearby, his friend was the first that suggested he donate his blood for he wished for him to be acknowledged as an honorable chap that sacrifices all of himself for transferring blood to a different clinic. I think there is another clinic around 5 minutes away, I believe that I heard my wife inform me of the distance from here to there last night, and I also spoke to my brother about leaving behind his wife so she didn't have to tolerate him any longer.
