I lived in the UK for 7 months, and have been back for varying lengths of time several times since then. I'm hosed.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Well. New email in my inbox.
Tornado warning for northern Baltimore County (I'm about 15 or so miles south of the area in question-Shawan/Butler.) Warning means DUCK.
Weird. I guess work is notifying all of us (15 miles AWAY) in case someone is telecommuting from up there.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah, we're universal recipients, my sister is a universal donor (for rh positive). Sorry I got you and your sister reversed, Kathy, I had it right in my head, but my fingers messed it up.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Interesting. I don't even know what type of blood I have. I feel like it would be a good idea, but even thinking of it is making me slightly queasy.
Now, if a family member or a friend needed it, I would bite the bullet, but as is, I just...bleargh.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I used to give regularly until they added something about CJD that prevents me from giving now. Needles don't bother me in the least. A couple of years ago, I had to go to the doctor every morning before work for blood tests for about 8 weeks. I quickly got over any squick I may have had about needles then.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
No problem. My own mother can't keep us straight at times (I'm "Kr--athy", and she's "Ka-Kris"), so I definitely don't expect anyone else to! My grandma had it worse, what with 24 grandchildren who seemed to have been born in batches. There were five boys born within a few years of each other, including my brother, so when Gramma would see him, she'd run through the list before finally getting it right. ("Pat? Jim? Tim? Joe? Kip--finally!")

See, I had no problem giving my old kitty Solomon his diabetes shots, but they were subcutaneous and I didn't SEE the needle go in -- fur obscured it.
I can't watch needles on TV. I have to hide my eyes. Scapels, sure. Surgery, blood, guts, no prob.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Don't get me started on the blood donation restrictions.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I hadn't heard they changed their Europe visit guidelines. Now I can resent the ARC a little less, although I don't know if NY has changed its rules.

Me either. Great. Now I have no excuse but the bizarro reaction I get well after the fact. I'm not that squeamish when it comes to nice, controlled blood cirsumstance. In fact, I used to end up fascinated by the color and flow and whatnot. I just didn't like the feeling like death that would happen 30 minutes after even the smallest draw.
