    This week we have a blood drive at my job. I am signing up
    I have been trying to do this more often.

    Do you participate in these?
    How often do you give blood?

    Generally it is once a year
    [I dunno if i can . . but i will see. . . the tonsil surgery was less
    than a year ago . . .so it might cause an issue . . . i hope not]

    What about the Crips?





    I haven't donated in a while.

    I think you can only donate every 45 days, and not have done ink in the last year or got your nips pierced or anything else.

    The last time I gave up blood was involuntary because I went to the doctor.

    It just seems weird to see all that blood go up that needle.

    Last year I donated 6 times, and I am almost at the 5 gallon mark.

    you can only donate 6 times a year(once every month) and everytime you donate the maximum you can donate is 1 pint of blood

    at least I'm "O" Positive blood type which is rare


    donating blood is fun
