The t-shirt offered by One Blood is quite cool for this month. Make an appointment for a donation at the One Blood site-- OneBlood - Home (https://www.oneblood.org/)

I go tomorrow

I was going to donate on Halloween but changed to this week because I may go to the Palm Ridge Plaza Halloween Food & Fun Fest 4PM- 8PM which supposedly will have a lobster food truck. Cousins Maine Lobster | Delivered Fresh Shore To Door Everyday (https://www.cousinsmainelobster.com/) I do not know though if the Three Word Sentence Group will be all together in the Villages by Halloween. I may have some Doggie Doo Run Run friends going too but Beau does not like too much attention all at once. He likes to think he is in control of stuff. He is better one-on-one. So I just may go when there are few people there. I'd scout it out to see when that would be.

The Halloween party also has a Simply Divine and Uncle Eddie's BBQ food truck.

Good luck tomorrow. Say Hi from Jon to Charlie, Blanca, Juanita, and Mary!!! I will see them later this week unless I get a cold or something.

Everything went fine. I really like the new tablets for answering the questions, but it needs a little tweaking. After I had answered all of the questions, Mary said about half were not answered so we went over them. I just did the "Oneblood Review" they send out after your donation and suggested the tablet program be modified to change colors when it accepts your answer and not let you go to the next screen. The donation went great though. Frank, Mary, Charli and Terri were working. Lots of donors there yesterday, but they only had one appointment for today.

Those names all sound familiar.

I will be donating platelets soon. I can only donate once a month through late December of 2016. Then I go do it every two weeks again.

The new check-in process should be interesting.

I hope they still have those Halloween t-shirts?

Not to name names, but I donated there once and there was one girl that worked there that was not good with needles or protocol.

Some of them are much better than others. Mary and Blanca are usually quite good with the needles and stuff.

Can you ask for a specific person? I hate to offend anyone in person..... unlike on the political forum;)

There used to be one lady that I asked that she not do me anymore and they put her name in the computer and I never had her again. Just ask up front.

I will be donating platelets this week as company is coming soon and I may be busy doing a lot of stuff soon.
