Today, I gave blood at a Finnish Red Cross office.
I got free food at the place and everyone was super nice. As a first-time donator, I can't be 100% sure yet if my blood will go to use right away or at all, but I intend to do it again in a few months (minimum time required is 60 days between the donations) and then I'll know some stuff about my BLOOD. And after the thing they let me EAT FOR FREE, AGAIN! And I got ice cream to top it all.
Have you ever given blood? If so, high fives all around!

I've been a hero once, and my blood is A+ Then they discovered I was too light to give blood,since law forbids giving your blood if you're less than 45kg (90 pounds) and I'm only 43kg. They were real upset and barked at me never to do that again, and kicked me out the van. I'm disappointed...

Oh crud! I think all of their silly rules aren't all that silly though. And here the limit is 50 kilograms.
I'm anxious to know my blood type!
I'm disappointed...
Hey it's the thought that counts!
Though er... your thoughts won't help dudes & chicks who're near death... But you know, it's not like you're scrimping when you well could?
Thanks for being a hero OWM.
Thanks! I'm looking forward to being one AGAIN in December. Before that, if someone's lucky, I get run over by a car and get to donate some organs as well! (Or will be needing one. )
More importantly, who wants to know?
Well... maybe Jeff's a really handsome man. I think SOME people would like to know.
Gosh, Jeffrey didn't mention those!
Well... a suppository is a somewhat phallic object. PROBABLY A MALE SUPREMACISTS' CONSPIRACY?!

What about dental work? Or anesthesia? Or vaccines, etc?
I am uninsured, so those aren't real options for me.
Ofcourse, if you're all into anti-society, I don't see why you're using internet.
I am not anti-society. I don't encourage people not to give blood, I would just prefer to keep all of mine. Ultimately I choose to help society by other means (mostly by being an unemployed teacher).
I'm pretty sure the "phallic objects" was supposed to cover that. What with "phallus" meaning "penis" and all, but WHO KNOWS.
Yeah, it does, but it also covers grown up toys as well.
Quick Jeffrey, do you enjoy having suppositories and enemas inside your body? If you don't reply in the next 30 seconds we will assume the answer is "yes".
Despite my failure to reply in thirty seconds I am afraid to inform you that I do not enjoy suppositories or enemas.
Well... maybe Jeff's a really handsome man.
Are you hitting on me?

You and your British politics. Stop talking about things that make me look them up on Google!

You should loook him up. If some people think that Obama and his current plans for reforms make him the anti-christ, people will shit bricks and die of shock when they find out what Bevan did. :3
