England is a country where there have been outbreaks of Mad Cow Disease and if you have lived there for a long period of time you are not allowed to donate. I've tried three separate times to donate, hoping the requirements had changed, but they haven't. Crazy that I haven't lived there for 25 years and they still won't let me donate. Oh well,,, more of my blood for me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4717368833114451838.post-42333845994842140362008-04-12T07:00:00.000-07:002008-04-12T07:00:00.000-07:00Good for you!

It only pinches for a second and you totally get pampered while donating. They're so nice and offer snacks and juice and it's nice to be treated nice!<BR/><BR/>Just to clarify, the thing they checked you for at the beginning was your iron count. If you're iron is too low (possibly anemic) they can't take your blood. Mine was borderline this last time. I eat red meat and lots of spinach, but apparently I need to add in a multivitamin with iron too.<BR/><BR/>Hmm, maybe I'll put together a post about the donation too. It's so nice to be able to do something for people that doesn't require money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4717368833114451838.post-70357892470733566982008-04-11T16:54:00.000-07:002008-04-11T16:54:00.000-07:00Mike - don't be a wuss!Jana - I TOTALLY need a cap...Mike - don't be a wuss!<BR/><BR/>Jana - I TOTALLY need a cape! It would go great with my "crazy lady persona". The other day I was running with Fischer in the stroller, my two 90 pound dogs on leash (I'm screaming at them "Don't pull - you are breaking my arm off!) and I am sprinting at break neck speed to catch up with the garbage truck that Fischer spotted. We need to catch up to it so that we could see it "pick up cans, dump in hopper". The cape would have made that moment SOOO much more freakish! My birthday comes before Christmas. Start knitting! Nothing weird about a lady running around on her 31st birthday with a knitted cape, right? Anyway, shut up, you are making me feel like a whacko.Lisa, F is for Fischerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03099795263288256108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4717368833114451838.post-89683232479840991452008-04-11T14:15:00.000-07:002008-04-11T14:15:00.000-07:00Ok your starting to make us look bad.
