Yes. Or a sibling. But whether or not they're collecting correctly, storing correctly, etc., is questionable. It's very speculative, but guilt and fear are powerful motivators.
I thought blood could only be stored for a certain amount of time?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The hell? Elsie and her aunt were invited to a party at the house of the woman who lives across the street from the aunt. And this ensued:
"Aunt Wealthy, you can't want me to go there!" cried Elsie, as the child passed out of hearing. "Why, the woman is not a lady, and I am sure papa would be very unwilling to have me make an associate of her. He is very particular about such matters."
"She is not educated or very refined, it is true, my child; and I must acknowledge is a little silly, too; but she is a clever, kind-hearted woman, a member of the same church with myself, and a near neighbor whom I should feel sorry to hurt; and I am sure she would be much hurt if you should stay away, and deeply gratified by your attendance at her little party."
So apparently, in deciding on suitable companions, "lady" trumps "Christian."

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I was sad to hear about Natasha Richardson - she was a talented, smart woman, and had a family who still need her.

My heart goes out to them. I know what it feels like - One second, they're there, next second you're in the hospital saying WTF?

Re Natasha Richardson, I wonder if she had been hurt more initially after the fall, if she might have gotten help sooner and things could have been caught in time to do something.

I actually wonder if it was the fall.

If she fell backwards it doesn't take too much of a crack on the back of the head to cause serious brain damage.

Bummer! The Parkway Theater in Oakland is closing. I loved that place. Saw Rocky Horror there and Jailhouse Rock and a few others. I know, I know, I'm not there any more, but just know that it is going to be gone is sad making.

It's cryopreservation, so whatever it is they think they'll be able to use it for, it's not needed fresh.
Oh, I'm sad about the Parkway, too, despite no longer living there!

Suzi, I am so sad too. I'm going to see Let the Right One In on Sunday at 8:45. Does 'Suela check Bitches? I should invite her.
