I gave blood today!

For the third time, actually. Seems like it gets less difficult each time I do it.

Great to hear, keep it up. I've been donating for 30 years and have the scar tissue on both arms to prove it. I think I just hit the 21 gallon mark (168 donations). What some people will do for a free cookie or two.

Blood donation really can save many lives. It also renews one's blood products and stimulate activities in the bone marrow. Good for everyone.

Blimey..!!! great going there mate, and you might have saved some lives there..!!

My dad was a leukaemia patient and I can tell you how important every drop is. This was when I was in college and since then I've been donating blood. Best thing to do in life, so keep going guys.

Doesnt cost a penny, but you earn a cookie..

Cheers

Oh, come now. How difficult can it be to bleed?

Seriously, though, you are to be commended for a fine and selfless deed (unless you just did it for the juice and cookies).

A noble deed indeed. I've wanted to do so for a while; maybe one of these days I'll get round to actually doing it.

Actually they love my blood type, O negative. They called me last night to donate on Saturday. What type of cookie should I have this time?

And here I thought it was because you added some uber-expensive lens to the collection. Bah! Worthless thread!

Seriously, good job.
