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 :haha:
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 s 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 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. :( |
