This is a good, practical idea. I hate needles too, but I used to give blood. I am on salt pills lately, so I can't give and it is frustrating.
Good suggestion.
: I was just hearing on the news, as I expect many have, that NYC's gonna need all the blood they can get -- for 2-3 weeks.
: That's a lot of blood.
: I wasn't able to make it in to the hospital tonight... but dammit, I'm going. Even as terrified as I am of needles.
: I just hadda make a call to donate [since I don't see an obvious one.]
: I've lived through enough "history." I just wanna do what I can do for the folks that need it. [And given that I live in flyover country, that's all of giving blood and praying.]
: Hope some of y'all do the same.
: Thanks, folks.
