Giving Blood

Not allowed to, they don't take it from the big C survivors.

Have to buy my own tea and rich teas....

 

I used to, but I'm not allowed to anymore because I lived in the U.K. & might have Mad Cow Disease

 

So i work for a pharmacutical company and its used for product test purposes ...

 

I haven't given for ages, don't know if I still can now I'm on blood pressure tabs.

 

I gave blood until 5 years ago when I was diagnosed with angina -but got to around 35 donations . I didn't give any for about 10 years when I was running marathons and half marathons etc otherwise I might have made the gold badge .

 

Double post -oops

 

Triple post -oops again

 

I used to give regularly, but they were that badly organised I stopped going.
It could take all afternoon.

 

Given about 80 pints of the regular stuff upto about a year ago, then have been giving platelets since. Do it every month, takes about an hour on the machine pumping the blood out and back in. All very Frankenstein-esque! Lol.

 

Do they have to wait until there's a thunderstorm...

 

Likewise. But I don't like tea so that's ok

 

I think you mean "petite"

 

Think it's some kind of French biscuit

 

I've given approx 30 pints but not been for a couple of years need to pull my finger out and donate again.
