I'm on HBP meds, so I probably won't be able to give.
You can give blood if you're on HBP meds. At the time of donation, your BP just needs to be below 180 systolic and below 100 diastolic.
My blood pressure was perfectly fine last night! I probably should have rescheduled until after lunch, though. Mornings are my nemeses.
My problem with drinking at work is the nap factor.
So much this. I used to occasionally have a beer or two when I went out to lunch with (non-work) friends, but the afternoon crash was too much to deal with.
Am I going to regret Googling Harold Ford, as I have no idea who he is?
Hall plans to attend Sunday's Golden Globe awards and the upcoming Screen Actors Guild ceremony with his wife, actress Jennifer Carpenter, who plays his sister on Showtime's "Dexter."
I DID NOT know that.
The news story is because they released today that he is getting treatment for cancer that is in remission.
Am I going to regret Googling Harold Ford, as I have no idea who he is?
He used to be a Rep. from Tennessee, and I think he's kind of a joker.

At my first US job we were short on rules. The president kept miniature bottles of alcohol in her desk. But I'm sure us peons would have been dinged for indulging.
Never been vaguely tempted to drink during the work day. Not a feeling I want to have around co-workers, really. Barely ever drank at company parties, back when I attended them.
Jesse, you don't even read Gawker?
Anyway, I didn't realize Harold Ford was that bad. But he is totally a wealth dropper! [link]
First question: Jets or Giants?
A. I had breakfast about every morning when I am in town, or I should say, several mornings, at the Regency. I see my friends the Tisches. Steve Tisch is my close personal friend. I have been to more Giants games. I spent the holidays, I had lunch over the holidays with Woody Johnson. We met for the first time. I am happy for his team.
I was raised by old school Methodists.
My sister in Sunday School!
There was a 538 article about him and the New York seat a few days ago.

I hung out with Catholics in college, and they had a Kegerator in the basement of the parish hall. It boggled me.
Booze is a requirement at most Catholic events, at least in my experience.
