I get a call from the Red Cross every month about donating. Of course I donate after hearing my blood will help save lives etc...but I especially like the water and cookies afterward. Coincidentally they tell me I'am Type O.
Anyways, anyone gives blood? Why or why not? |

I never have, but I would. It's just never been convenient for me to do it. And I have no idea what blood type I am.  |

All the time! About once every 3 months or so the Red Cross sends a Bloodmobile to my job and our HR team send out emails and fliers asking for donations...and everytime I go!

I did in high school. Not anymore, mainly because I have no idea where to go. |

They were giving blood today in my high school. I couldn't donate though because you have to be 17. |

I know I should, but I have a real problem with people drawing blood. I'm okay around needles, but get away from me you frickin vampires. |

You have eight pints of blood in your body, I think. Something like that.
I'm type O positive. I really should give blood, but am terrified of it. Had so many needles stuck in me during my back surgery that the idea of more just kills me. |
