Some goons overreact. Go figure.
Don't want a tag or av or anything but for the sake of adding my voice to the rest, I just donated blood and took my brother along too.

Well if you don't want a tag or avatar I suppose it doesn't matter if you do or don't want to post a picture.

Plasma donation booked. I've only done whole blood before but last time I was there they said they needed O- platelet donations and asked me to do a plasma donation so they can get a platelet count to see if I can donate platelets. This will be my 11th donation, I got a 10 donations badge last time.

Christmas bunny and gang tag please.

Blood for the Blood God! Thanks for the avatar and gang tag.

I will post proof once I get a chance.

Having some puppies in a tag would be great.



Completely forgot to take a photo while I was at the appt, but the first donation was completed.

I guess I'll take a tag.

I meant to donate blood, which they asked me to change to red blood / platelet, which they then asked me to change to a triple platelet donation, which I didn't know was a thing.

e: forgot to write anything, but I've still got the paperwork with the date on it, I guess I can take a pic and black stuff out.

I've always been a bit confrontational
Has anyone offered to match blood donations yet? Usually I just do double red three times a year because I'm lazy but if no one else has I'll :toxx: to donating platelets instead once for each person that donates before the 1/15 cutoff, up to the end of the year (so like 24-25 donations). Red Cross lets me donate once every 14 days with platelets so I can post bi-weekly updates in a side thread or something to hold to the toxx.

I'm willing to accept this from you up to the point that is medically safe for you to do so following the rules of your chosen donation place.

Since this thread will not remain open all year, you could send your proof to myself or PPJ or Ard via PM or email (my email is in my profile).

Yeah, I'll keep my health in mind and stop if any problems come up.

Anyways, one down:


I couldn't take pictures there since both arms and one hand had a needle in them, but those are the go home instructions they gave me afterwards. I'll get pictures before they tap the veins next time.

And that's why I just give whole blood and not platelets because I can handle one needle but not three. Goonspeed :patriot:
