Awww all you blood donors make me feel realy guilty.

I cannot give blood because I suffer from anemia badly and need all the blood I got lol

I tell you what, you give some blood and ill recycle all my crap and together we can put the planet on an even keel.

SO!!!

Who's given blood since I posted this eh? EH!?

You just have to be 17-57 yrs old and fairly healthy. For more information go to www.blood.co.uk

I gave again today. They gave me a keyring with my blood group on it.
Woo!

O negative

Just for your perspective:

Only 6% of the eligible-to-donate population bother donating.
O- and B- blood stocks would run out in 3 days if people stopped donating.
Even the most stocked up blood would run out in 9 or 10 days.

You might need it one day!
GOWAAAAAAAN!! :D

Also there's stuff about joining the bone marrow donors list if you're interested.

Mwah

My blood would probably give someone a caffeine rush...

Yeah, I'll go and give blood sometime when I can. Smile
Bone marrow donoring though... Ouch. You do know how that works, right?

I have no idea but i've heard it's very painful and somewhat nasty.
Enlighten me.

but still. My mates pa gave bone marrow and saved the life of a little girl.

That's got to be worth a week of feeling a bit sh*tty

Oh, I'm not saying that it's not a good cause. I'm afraid I'm just far to squeamish for bone marrow donating...

See, the trouble with bone marrow is it's actually inside your bones, effectively sealed off. So they have take one of your leg bones (because they're the biggest) and well... It involved general anaesthetic, and a biiig needle that frankly terrifies me. Apparently it's not that invasive as procedures go, but it still... Gnh. Only two things make me squirm like that -- eyes and bones.

Compared to that, sure, stick a little needle into my arm and take a pint or two. That's nothing!
(Even if it is almost an armful).
