Urgent Need of Blood for the Troops

LOS ANGELES — As the war with Iraq rages on it is a grim fact of war that U.S. soldiers are being wounded and in urgent need of blood.

In response to that need, Red Cross officials here in Southern California have issued an appeal for blood donations.

Red Cross officials say there is a special need for O-negative and O-positive donors.

Type O-negative is known as the "universal blood type" because it can be used by anyone, including trauma patients when there is no opportunity to check the patient's blood type.

Anyone who is at least age 17, in good health and weighs at least 110 pounds may be eligible to donate blood.

If you would like to make an appointment to donate blood, call the Red Cross at 1-800-GIVE LIFE.

I just called Puget Sound Blood Center (been donating there for the last 5 years) and they told me I'm not eligible for another 2 weeks

But come 4/18, that'll be the first thing I do.

Did that 2 weeks or so ago, so have a few more weeks before I can do that again...

BUT! I will be there at the first opportnity.

Thanks for the reminder!

Please, everyone, give blood. I'm sick of these people draining me dry. For once, someone else take a turn. Do your patriotic and humanitarian deed. A little needle won't kill ya...

Que sera sera

I need one more donation to reach the 1-gallon mark. I have always thought it was the least I could do to help others. Dan,g I'm noble.

Seriously, I will be looking for a place to make that donation tomorrow. Join us, folk; even if it isn't needed by our men and women in Iraq, you might just help save one of your neighbors, friends or family member. It only stings for a minute.

Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

I need one more donation to reach the 10-gallon mark. I have always thought it was the least I could do to help others. Dang I'm noble.

Seriously, I will be looking for a place to make that donation today. Join us, folk; even if it isn't needed by our men and women in Iraq, you might just help save one of your neighbors, friends or family member. It only stings for a minute.

Note: This is a repost as I did not notice until now that my "10-gallon" was missing a zero in the original. Kind of loses the effect without it!]

Not everyone who would like to donate is allowed to. For some "gay" reason, even though my blood is as clean as any other allowable donors', I'm not allowed to donate. Patriotism and humanity be damned. So when the blood banks start whining about blood shortages, I just sit back and say it serves them right!

Yep, I'm on the hairy edge now. The England thing almost made me ineligible; I slipped in under the wire on that one. It won't be long before they declare that anyone who goes above 10,000 feet on a regular basis and drinks alcohol is ineligible.
