I donated at Dragoncon. And almost passed out.

My mother got really hurt the last time she donated
If possible, get a phlebotomist and not a nurse at a blood drive. You want the person who sticks people all day long day after day. Most nurses don't have nearly that much practice.
I first donated blood to meet Robert Heinlein at MidAmericon.

I haven't been able to donate blood for the past few years because I keep getting tattoos, within 12 months of each other. But if I don't get new ink by December, I should go donate.

Ann, that's a ferret.

This. I donated blood once, during my freshman year of college. I had an hour and a half between classes. The nurse took forever and never did find a good blood vessel. By the time they finished drawing blood, I was late for my next class. I ran there (without waiting for juice and cookies), which was a big mistake. I didn't pass out, but it was a near thing.

And I just needed another shot . Hopefully this takes. This shot didn't hurt as bad but it keeps freaking me out.

Dental--Ma.(I used it last year, but it should still be good, right?) There are two things that I probably should stop thinking about Kentucky's Senate Candidate, right? 1. Wow, Boyd Crowder's new Senator! 2. Her hair is shiny enough that she could be a green ball of energy.(But I really am a srs activist)

I had a root canal last year...it sucked, but somehow less than advertised, not that I'm recommending them.

Tooth~ma, askye.
I'm in Illinois now. In about an hour I'll be meeting part of the search committee for dinner. I always forget how much I like these nice, open spaces. It's like something in my psyche uncramps.
