The Best Valentine's Gift

Today is not just Valentine's Day. It's National Donor Day. So find a blood drive near your and give some of that extra blood you have lying around doing nothing in your body. Clearly you're not doing much with it if you're spending time reading this blog. Someone out there will really appreciate it. It doesn't take that long, maybe an hour (most of which is answering questions). It's not painful. They give you free juice and cookies. And you'll feel great about yourself.

I have actually been told to NEVER EVER give blood as apparently I need all I have.

Not everyone is eligible, but a huge percentage of the eligible population doesn't donate for a whole host of reason.

I was scheduled to give blood today, but I was just dinged by the ARC for my trip to Costa Rica last December. I can't give blood now until January of 2007. It's crazy. Even though I did visit a place (La Fortuna) that the FDA labels as "malarial", clearly, I do not have malaria. And I wonder why there is always a shortage of blood.
