One guy looked a lot like the main bad guy in The Walking Dead but about twice the actor's weight. Negan. I thought about saying "We are all Negan" to him but thought better of it as he might be the one sticking me with a needle at some point! |

They usually do not tell anyone how the operation went. You just hope for the best. I have donated platelets now maybe 80 times and only two of these were for infants. The very first one I did as they called me and begged me to come in and this one.

Thank you, Tal, for donating as you have a rare blood type. I donate blood as well although I have a more common type. I have several close friends who have needed blood and realize how important it is to donate.

The whole blood donations from entry to exit from the facility or blood mobile usually only take 20 minutes, if that. Last edited by Taltarzac725; 08-19-2018 at 07:18 AM. |

What is interesting to me is how the screening technology has changed in the past few years. It used to be a paper questionnaire. Now up here in the Chicago area, the screening questions are answered on a tablet.

The change to tablets happened a year or two ago. |

My favorite question is one that Lifesource (Chicago area blood collection agency) just started asking a few years ago. "Have you been in jail, prison or any other correctional institution for more than 72 hours in the past year?" I'm always tempted to answer, "Can I count my place of employment in that category?"

One is about sex and money ever taken in exchange. Most of my dates take a lot of wining and dining as well as many other things to get on base. Or many texts, letters, and meetings. And some of the trophy wives in the Villages... probably would not be with these husbands unless they had very nice houses, cars, vacations abroad, etc. |

I had wanted to travel to Africa some day and that also seems to disqualify but I do not know the details about countries and time frames. Mad cow disease seems to be the big worry for working in the UK.

Tal, Listen carefully. There are a lot of beautiful, smart, women, who contributed as much or more to the family coffers as their husbands. Most people with good marriages each think the other is a prize.

I also hope some of these first rate actresses read Talk of the Villages. I have been linking it to my Facebook page. Last edited by Taltarzac725; 09-06-2018 at 07:04 PM. |
