Dark_Arbron 09/15/23 8:58:42 AM #1:	Represent. Did my 8th donation a few weeks ago after a long hiatus. I had to get some blood and liver tests done before they'd take me back, but so far it looks like I'm still in good enough condition. Going back for my 9th on Nov 20. --- "The US is not a single country.

josiskrazy 09/15/23 10:11:36 AM #17:	I use to work for Red Cross biomed department. I never could donate tho because my iron is always low. There are donors who come in who've been donating since 50s, they're really cool. Red Cross just gives you juice and cookies. Unless it's a special event and you'll get to eat whatever the sponsor has (pizza burgers breakfast food bagels) and every Sept 11, they have a big blood drive at Fenway and you get to eat all the Fenway franks and fries you want lol --- F Cancer!! https://www.goteamdani.com <cite>josiskrazy posted [p:976083790] in Any blood ...

K181 09/15/23 10:17:10 AM #18:	Fairly regularly. I run a hospital and had been an administrator here for a long time prior, so it's always been a pretty nice and easy way to stay engaged with the public and some of the staff.
