Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Double red is a lot to give, though.

Serial to note:

"Recent studies with patients undergoing open-heart surgery show that even with similar heights and weights, women have lower blood volumes than men." Huh. Guess I should have read to the end.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Aw, Jesus, my grandparents are evacuating, my parents are out of town, and the dog's being boarded. Why is everything SO COMPLICATED?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

For men, a donor must weigh at least 150 pounds and be at least 5'1" tall. For women, a donor must weigh at least 175 pounds and be at least 5'5" tall.

I'm wondering if they've got their criteria for men and women reversed.

[edit: or maybe not. Lower blood volumes, eh?]

I hear you, Dana.

Oh, and the Red Cross is suffering a critical blood shortage, "with some areas of the country falling below a one-day supply of blood."

Because these days when I hear of something awful happening my first thought is "Wonder if I can give blood?" I don't imagine it will help anyone overseas, but it's a reminder, anyway.

They particularly need O, A-negative, and B-negative.

I totally missed this! Why?

Dunno. Saw it mentioned on my f-list, and that there was a frenzy of posting going on as a result. Hadn't checked it out, though.

interesting. the BMI for that is 29.1, which is on the high side of overweight. (30 being clinically obese)

I'd love to give blood, but they're afraid that i might have mad cow. (though I suppose if they exported my blood to england, that wouldn't be an issue)
