I gave blood for the second time in my life on Tuesday. It's a good experience, if you haven't done it, you should. The lady sitting by the snack table after I'd finished giving my blood said something (I don't remember what) that led me to the conclusion that giving blood is an easy way to be a good steward of your body. The whole thing takes like 15-25 minutes and you're helping to save people's lives (Or so they tell you...). There's really no reason not to unless you're physically unable, as most of us can just regenerate more very quickly and be back to complete normality within 48 hours. Plus, blood and the shedding of it is totally metal. The bus that came to the conference center was called The Bloodmobile. Brutal.

I'm proud of you, Mick!
Giving blood plasma pays big bucks...Have ya thought of that?
Actually, yeah. I was talking to someone about it just a few days ago. Apparently you can do it quite often, too.
I've tried, twice. Something about being borderline anemic...
This makes me want to take my iron pills and give some blood. :)
