I'll tell you all a true story. Today (13 Dec 2011), someone was trespassing on my property, maybe a burglar or meth-head. Anyway, I was watching TV, and I thought to myself that I should probably shoot his ass. So I ran to get my 5-shot revolver, and I put it in my right pocket. Well, by the time I got outside, my dog scared-him-off, and my gun was so heavy it was making my pants fall down.

Who cares...

[jeb10121994]

@IvoryGuru ...the people who are selfless enough to give and the very sick ones who receive it care.

I donate blood every 6 weeks, but I don't make a stupid video about it

[jangguemfan]

@IvoryGuru For your kind of information, blood donation can be done in every 16 weeks, unless you have forgot to put 1 in front.

@leemeadnumber1fan You get poked twice. The first one is in the finger (I tell them "grab the one you want"). The finger stick is a snap folllowed by a warm sensation. Once you go to make the actual donation, the needle definitely stings going in, but your arm typically goes numb after a short time. The inside of the elbow, where they put the needle, is fairly non-sensitive.

@leemeadnumber1fan it will go to one person, friend

[SouthTexasRich]

@demon4411 Other blood centers may do things differently, but at the center I work at your whole blood (the "usual" type) donation actually may benefit up to three separate people because we separate the blood into red cells, platelets, and plasma, with each going to a different person.

FWIW: It works better if you wear short sleeves. On the other hand, that's probably awfully cold in Canada.
