He didn't spit anything out, so I guess it was okay.
edit, sorry, I don't know how to shrink pics from FB.

There needs to be shrinkage?

Seriously, I think the forum software automatically adjusts pictures. If you want to be sure, wrap it with [imgwide] BB code tags, and set the width to 1024, or so.

What do you mean by film paper?

Oh, and since it was a blood drive, I assume you donate. If so, how much have you donated so far?

I started donating in my twenties, and have passed the 3 gallon mark.

Having moved country I feel defrauded in the record of my donations in visits to Count Dracula. The were several in Australia, intermittent because of timetable possibilities where I was combined with my withholding times resulting from overseas travel. And in UK I started from 0 again, and have also had intermittency because of timing of events and travel. Second last time I turned up I had told them I had gone to Philippines when I was on the phone and was told it is OK, which surprised me but on site the answer was I could not. So I had to go to a later session, two weeks later where I work. That time was the first time I saw people becoming faint after donation, and they were all fit people.

I'm in more or less the same boat. I think I got to about 36 donations in South Africa. Here, I'm up to 40 donations now.

Merci ... and the reference to "film paper" was for B&W prints that I made/printed in a darkroom while I was in another club. Hopefully, I will finish my own home darkroom soon. Needs paint finished and installation of some better lighting.

I cannot give at the moment due to medication that I am taking. Nothing serious, just long. I used to give a lot when I was at OU. I even once passed out at the juice bar after giving ...

Better lighting in a darkroom.

That sounds funny, eh?

No, you have to watch hockey for that.

Hey, Bob... I've not been as involved in the forums as usual for the last week or three (said situation to be rectified forthwith

), but I just saw this and wanted to wish the beautiful Mrs Bob a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Question: How do you make a doughnut run? I'm familiar with all sorts of motivational techniques, but I'm darned if I can figure it out...

I meant to comment on your original post about this vehicle, Charlie. Looks superb... I watched a couple of YouTube videos about it, including an extremely favourable review. Seems like an impressive piece of equipment, and a whole bunch of fun. I'm sure your lovely granddaughter agrees... though her grin can't quite compete with yours. You're like a kid at Christmas
