Donating Blood

In sync with 40's organ donating thread.. do you guys donate blood?
I got a piercing (labret) last july and the rules here used to be that you cant give blood until a year after your piercing. Well they called me last night and asked if i could give blood. I explained the situation and she said theyve changed it to 6 months!
Im fucking stoked. Am i the only one here that actually ENJOYS giving blood? I love knowing that a part of me can save a life. That 30 minutes of my time can mean 30 years more for someone else...
Well pubbers do you give blood? Why do you, or why dont you? And if you dont, DO IT. its easy and takes very little time. Try it once for me!!

i've donated 8 times so far... only twice in the last year and a half though...
it's actualy healthy to give blood like every 4 months! i keep forgetting to do it though (it's always on friday morning when i'm never awake...)

it IS fun giving blood... i always feel read good about my self later

Yes I do. Where I work they have a blood bus stop by once in a while so I can conveniently give blood there. I help to save lives and I get to skip out of work for an hour.

When I went to donate blood they didn't ask about pot use. They were mostly concerned with sex and amphetimes issues. I was honest and told them I used Cocaine within the past year and so I was denied.

Yea thats another big thing! Be honest!! Its cool to give blood, buts its fucked up to give bad blood and pass it on as good.
Good call nelson, but remember, you and me still gotta give blood on the same date, or something close. imma hold you to that!

60 days.
Red, I hate needles too, but it's something I feel ethically bound to do.... I see myself needing other people's blood someday; might as well play mine in too.

i got a thing in the mail saying they have clinics near me:
march 13 april 21 may 8 june 23 (day after my bdaY) jul 10
and it leads me to think i can give at all of them.
are you sure on the 60 days?

no way man! in israel the minimum is three months! but i guess it depends on how much they take...
when i was in the army i served in the clinic and of the doctors over there had a theory that there might be a connection with the high animia rate we had been seing to the regular blood donations (every three months) so as far as i'm concerned i wouldn't want to give blood more then three/four times a year!

I bet your afraid someone is going to blow off your head also? I don't understand how you can be afraid of a 25guage needle. They are so cute, those little needles. Maybe you should watch some RAMBO.

Lol, it's so funny that people are afraid of that. I had a 14 guage needle put through each of my ears, and it barely hurt at all.
