O negative

They called 3 times this week, and they want my blood. Off to give a pint of my best to the Red Cross. I am told that my type, O negative can go into anybody, therefore they pester me. They better be gentle.

You're a bigger man than I. I tried to give blood once but I'm a bleeder and it ran out of me too quickly. Haven't had the nerve to go back since.

Nope - can't do that. I'm hypoglycemic and I'd pass out! ha!

Juice & cookies!

(And in Rhode Island they give a coffee mug after every gallon.)

Do they still have the Red Cross Blood Run 5K in Binghamton? The entry fee was a blood donation (no day-of-race entries).

You, denis are most precious.

Good for you, Gary! I used to give all the time, until I found out I have Lupus. Then they decided they did not want my AB blood anymore.

Jim, I didn't feel like running around much...
