Hello do you have a spare pint?

Yo! you wanna win prize? got blood to donate? check out Melissa at Hope for the hopeless! and manic mommy! they are giving away a prize for donating blood! yeah ! all you have to do is go donate a pint, and get your picture taken while you do it. email it to them and you might be a prize winner they will do a random drawing . SO go there read their posts because they are dang funny. and go donate some blood. i would if they wanted my blood but i think i am out. with the cancer and medication and all. But i may research this further and see if i am really out or just making assumptions there , but i am spreading the word anyway. 'cuz we all know how i like free crap and this chance at a giveaway qualifies . and we all know i like to spread the word about free crap. who doesn't love free crap and a good cause?

and i googled my cancer question of if i could donate after cancer and i am officially out. that and the whole radioactive thing i forgot about too. dang! SO SOMEONE ELSE SHOULD DO IT. do it while you can. who knows when something will deny you forever the pleasure of giving blood. i mean those rewarding feelings of helping save lives and all. here is a list of all the things that disqualify donating blood. and here is one by the American red cross. with any possible questionable things. I'm still out but i did my research before saying so. but maybe after 5 years i could. still can't but according to this i could if there was none present and 5 years after treatment. i still have 3+ years. rad.

I'm out too, but my reason is dumb. Once while giving plasma I got a false positive Hep C test. It got me black listed even though I can prove I don't (and never have) had it.

I think when you HAVE five years behind you we need to have a giant party that crosses state lines and stuff. That would be RAD.

Thanks for the props. I'm going to call today and see if I'm wrong about donating blood, I'm not sure if the RA will hold me back but I think the methotrexate might. We'll see.

Thanks again!

THanks for the shout out! And the prize I'm giving away is as much money as as many donors I get to give!!! Up to a three-digit number, not to exceed the first number being a 2, because I'm Manic, but I'm not Manic-Made-Of-Money, and this prize is coming straight out of my pocket!

Thanks Crazy Mama for the shout out! SO APPRECIATE IT!!!

I used to donate a lot of blood. My hero Robert Heinlein always encouraged his fans to donate.

I am on the exclude list for now as well but when I get better I will go again because you and Robert asked me too! :)

Thanks for the reminder. I need to try to do that more often - with or without a contest. You never know when you or someone you love may need it!
