I worried that this post became a "Hey... Look at me! Look what I do!" and that's not what I intended. But I do believe in donating blood, plasma, etc and had to write about it. <br /><br />So thanks, ladies, for your kind comments. And R&R and Ginger, it is so nice to hear about personal experiences of others on the receiving end. Even though it wasn't my plasma that helped your loved ones out, it helps me to think of the anonymous people that I am helping.<br /><br />Andrea... yeah, ITA! the saline return is a B*%#H, especially in the winter. But the volunteers are ready to offer a hot beverage (apple cider this time) and that with a sunny spot by the window seem to help. Glad to hear you are a donator as well. <br /><br />Thanks, Echo.<br /><br />~ CarrieDTFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562122716433613939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272344218333597715.post-49910695302398596252007-01-22T00:21:00.000-06:002007-01-22T00:21:00.000-06:00wow... i'm so impressed that you do this carrie!!...wow... i'm so impressed that you do this carrie!! that's awesome, and a good kick in the butt to remind me to donate... thank you, but caring and doing something so wonderful for other people... =o) reading that someone like you directly helped both ginger and r&r is pretty incredible!emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877591439581391019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272344218333597715.post-74371953270157511792007-01-21T16:47:00.000-06:002007-01-21T16:47:00.000-06:00You are so brave!

NEVER again...I am AB+ which is also the universal PLATELETS donor so I donate those very often. We have a burn center here and lots of cancer research, and apparently kiddies need platelets alot because they always tell me the age of the patient who will get my platelets and it's always an infant. somehow that makes me happy. I don't get paid either :) They do ask if I want to watch a movie, but i ALWAYS HAVE a book...totally hear you 1-2 hours of uninterrupted reading is BLISS :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272344218333597715.post-16995945247107925412007-01-19T21:33:00.000-06:002007-01-19T21:33:00.000-06:00OK Carrie, I may need to register a complaint with...OK Carrie, I may need to register a complaint with the BBB about you! You have me drinking water and now I'm checking my blood type: I'm pretty sure that's what I am -- whenever I've given blood they've gotten super excited. And they have the WORST time finding a vein: ok, more H2O ... and why is it an hour and a half ... off to research :) I'm pretty sure some other ladies on the board do this do -- and like you said --- all that quiet time -- what's not to like!! Seriously -- thank you for doing this :)Janet Webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388267119996768657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272344218333597715.post-3785943001052077772007-01-19T19:48:00.000-06:002007-01-19T19:48:00.000-06:00Just think of the angel that you ARE for millions ...Just think of the angel that you <b>ARE</b> for millions of people.

If it weren't...Thank you so much for sharing this!<br /><br />If it weren't for incredible people like you, I would've been denied the last precious summer I had with my Dad. He was kept alive with "Liquid Gold" plasma donations. There are just no words to express how much it means to so many...<br /><br />God Bless YOU and all who donate. It's such a caring, selfless act.R&Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04281438331272215636noreply@blogger.com
