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

I am A-negative and can't give blood, and it makes me crazy. I know my blood type is always in demand. Feh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I don't get how they figure out BMI just from height and weight. What about muscle mass? Doesn't that count?
I can't give blood now because I'm in an HIV vaccine study.

I'd love to give blood, but they're afraid that i might have mad cow.
This is also true for me, but their position is becoming increasingly absurd given that they reject me for living more than six months since 1980 in a European country with no cases of mad cow, yet they have no concern that I have been living 24 years since 1980 in a country (USA) that has had at least two cases of mad cow.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
This got me curious to check- in college I was told not to donate (at least for a while) because of meningitis exposure, but now that I look at the Red Cross list, I don't see it anywhere. They were liars!

My blood pressure is a bit high, otherwise I'd go and donate (I've got ABneg, so they called me on Tuesday to see if I could give). When I get some of this weight off, hopefully by this fall, I can get back on the every-8-week donation cycle I was on a few years ago.
