It's in you to give. You have enough blood in your body that giving a pint won't do a dent to your system, assuming you're a healthy male.

I always donate whenever I can, but the last time must have been a group of amateurs. Here it is a week later, I have a huge black and blue on my arm (I've donated about 10x by now and I've NEVER had that), and everyone thinks I'm an amateur drug addict
I've done my good deeds, I think I'll not be donating for a while...

I've also donated a lot... the military is the nation's #1 source for blood... we scheduled our day around it.. actually 2 days around it... b/c no activity the rest of that day or the next...
even now in basic trainning we taught the young Soldiers how to stick IV's... so there will be a whole lot more people around now that will know how to give someone fluids...
I've done it, wasnt pretty but it got the job done... the worst is when somebody fucks up and has to stick you like 3 or 4 times...

Wish I could... well, technically I can. But, I'll just say it... I'm afraid of needles. I hate them. Dunno, just always been that way.
We have the "Bloodmobile" come to work every month. Wish I was less of a vagina about it, but oh well, what can ya do?
I do donate time feeding the homeless on occasion, but I haven't done that for a bit. Been meaning to do that again.

i would if i could. i am way too skinny and i get really lightheaded when they draw only the smallest amount required for blood work.
Moved from England to Ireland during the whole BSE scare thing so I cant. Also had jaundice after I was born for a week or two so that puts paid to that.

I donated once and almost passed out. Dr. drew blood for bloodwork last year and the same thing happend. I don't know if it's due to my lower blood pressure or my low resting heart rate but it's not a fun experience at all.
Wish I could donate.
My heart rate is 59-61 BPM (bottom line for normal heart rate, which is 60-80 BPM) and luckily I've had no problems...

This December will be my 9th donation I think. I don't get anything for free though, because that's not really the point is it?

That's right about where I am, 55 or so. I might also be a wuss when it comes to needles and blood and it helps if I try to blame it on something else.
