Brian Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I gave blood in college because our teacher gave us extra credit. I hate needles and probably won't donate anything ever unless it is a must for a relatives survival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I used to donate platelets when I was in high school. Now... uh... they wouldn't want my blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 I was speaking with a local blood drive rep and she told me they are having a struggle this year because more and more Winter Texans are getting tattoos. I started laughing, thinking of grandma getting a slutmark when she told me it is usually permanent makeup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxy Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 My blood pressure is usually too low to give blood. I also have very rolly veins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipps Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I work at a hospital and we just had a blood drive but surprisingly not many employees donated.You would think people that know how ciritical it is would just do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory Pratt Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I give blood every eight weeks, as soon as I can, plus or minus two days. I'm regular about it. One of my great joys is to sit there and make deadpan funniez with the technician. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Is the Mustang Ranch a "recognized facility"? That could significantly change the response you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Not sure if the two people who voted for sperm were serious or not, but I just don't think I could mentally do that. I mean I can do that but not like THAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's kinda like, yeah, I'll give it to you, but the thought of a bunch of little me's running around that I don't know about is a bit disconcerting.

SoxAce Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Donated blood once a year. (will try to do better) Donated sperm five days a week..... to the toilet.... (again, will try to do better) Most of you old crusty men here should try to donate the hair that falls out. Once you reach 40, it's the beginning of the end anyways.

Marky Mark Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Yeah donating sperm is tough (not physically, but emotionally [ugh I feel lame for using that word]), not only because you may have some of your own little Rally Crede's out there that you don't know about, but also because your kids may have siblings that they don't know about too, and I don't feel like that's fair to them. But then again, how fair is it for people who can't produce good sperm to begin with? Although there are always plenty of children that need good families to adopt them, especially little girls in China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
