Hi!!!
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Bonny, that's awesome. Is there any way you can take the dog with you?
So I'll make you a deal, to make me feel better and give you further reason to keep your resolve: you do it, and I will too. Overcoming an irrational fear will be a good thing for me to do on my 47th birthday.
Zen. I just. You. Well. I'm crying now. I'm not even sure why this means so much to me but, thank you. I appreciate the faith and the courage on your part. Yes. I will do it. And, if you step out of your comfort zone...to even try, it will make the victory even sweeter.

If ONLY. Though, he absorbs my anxiety like a sponge and I'd hate to do to him, what happens inside me.
Over Christmas, when I went all shocky from an injury, he immediately barfed. Poor boo.
Though you are right, the one thing, upon which I can focus to do ANYTHING, is him.
you do it, and I will too.
I'd like to jump on this bloodwagon.
I can't donate anymore, and I'd feel like you and zenkitty were helping take up the slack, bonny. I was a six-gallon-plus donor and a platelet donor.
Go ahead and admit you're nervous when you get to the person checking your medical information, i.e., the first person you see who isn't a volunteer. He or she can aim you at the best sticker. Be sure to drink plenty of water starting the day before; the main cause of dizziness is loss of blood volume. Also, it's probably best to look away when the needle is going in. That seems to be the worst time for a lot of people, including me.
Todd, you're probably on the way home, but is that color OPI?
I haven't given blood in a couple months. When's the Buffista Blood Drive?
I'm not allowed to give blood, I lived in the UK for too long, apparently. I might be mad, but I was that way before mad cow disease.
I'm not allowed to give blood either. Pesky iron issues and all.
