Well I trotted off to the blood bank yesterday morning...
Came home with my FIVE GALLON pin in my hot little hand!!
The cookies weren't very impressive, though!

Congrat's Val! Donating is a wonderful action of giving.
last time I went to donate, my iron was to low, so I couldn't donate.

Yes indeedy! The very minute I can donate again, I start getting the
calls!! :wah: Last week, they left a message about how urgently they
needed it! I've told them I look at the online schedule but I guess they
really want to get me in...
I'm also CMV negative, so my blood can go to preemies or immuno-
suppressed people.
The pin is cute "gold" with little "ruby" drops on it... took a lot of
years to get it. (I give usually between 4-6 pints per year)
I wish I could find out how many pints lifetime I've given and/or
that this bank would credit me for them!
Thought of Chons yesterday, it was at a local church and all the
choir came in in their robes... pretty neat.

Well done Val, that is something to be very proud of.
I can't give blood 'cos I had a transfusion once and the new rules say that they won't take it 'cos of the risk of passing on mad cow disease - well I know I'm a mad cow but I didn't know it was contagious!

I've given blood a few times, but the last time, my body went into shock and I ended up unconscious on the table. I haven't been since 'cus I'm a bit of a sissy I guess:o
