I have no idea why having low iron is bad for me, but I suppose I should find out and then see how I feel when it's closer to normal.
Yours could very well be in the range of normal, just too low for the Red Cross.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

[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.

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?
Iron rich foods:
Red meat, liver
Egg yolks
Dark, leafy greens (only if also eaten with vitamin C to aid absorption)
Beans, legumes
Vitamins (be forewarned, some people have digestive issues with iron pills, I know I do)
they don't want my blood
They don't want mine, either, because of the CJD.

From what I remember, low iron can mean getting tired easily, low energy, that sort of thing.
Every time I think about going to donate blood, it's still too soon after getting a tattoo. But since it's been, what, three years since my last one, I should try again.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Bonny, you did great! You should be proud of yourself!
Dammit. OK, I said for my birthday, right? That's not until July. Whew. 3 months to get my iron and my Irish up.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Oof. Crouching down to fiddle with cables behind my TV is not good for my ankle. However, I will supposedly have working cable again in 45 minutes.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

It's surrealistically simple. I like it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's a good thing the photo had a caption, otherwise I wouldn't have known who/what the third person/animal in the photo was....
