Ya'll just stop getting hurt now, 'cause there's no blood in the freezer.

I'll be donating blood at 4:30 this afternoon, then proceeding to a Michigan UPA talk, "Design for Two Different Generations: A User Experience Challenge", by Susan Weinschenk, about designing for the boomers and the net generation.

Save lives from up to three generations at a time by donating blood. Call 1-800-give-life to make an appointment today.

I wish they'd take my blood. **sigh** Stupid homophobic rules.

Er, homophobic regarding women? I can't imagine what possible increase in risk that could possibly provide.

Homophobic regarding my male partners who have had sex with other men since 1970. Even though they haven't had sex with men in years, have tested negative, etc.

Grr.

Mmmm. I shan't suggest my suggestion, for it be on some level unethical!

Yeah, it really peeves me, and I've been tempted to donate anyway. I mean, I'm freakin' O negative, which is the highest-demand blood type.

It just pains me to know how often we have shortages, when they refuse perfectly good donors like me.

Grr.
