Pool party at my house! Somebody bring a blender!

This morning, we were looking down on the lake as the sun came up. There were bunches of bass in there, Tim estimates 18 inches or more. Big enough that I could see them from the 4th floor!!

I'm about to go to a hospital. First time to donate blood. So nervous. Does the process take long?

I've done it many times. No need to worry, the actual process is about 5 or 10 minutes, and you get a cup of tea and a biscuit afterwards

Feeling so great after donating 300ml of blood

ugh, the needle was HUGE

I didn't dare look

(when my friend asked me to go with her I agreed right away. I knew had I thought for so long I wouldn't have brought myself to face the ether smell...)

I really enjoyed the hospital lounge

they had tons of snacks! I had a big glass of sweetened tea, some milk, and was given a gift to bring home

And the volunteers and nurses were very nice too

I'm very proud of you! Unable to give you karma right now, but consider yourself karma'd in real life.

Good for you! Now consider putting it on your calendar to go back and do it again in 8 weeks. There just aren't that many routine donors. And remember the cookies!

people say different things! I remember reading somewhere that a 6-week period is enough, the volunteers today said I should wait 87 days

(why 87?) and now you say 8 weeks...

Oh, well, wait however long they tell you to wait. Here, the minimum time between donations is 8 weeks. I remember once showing up a day or two early thinking that they wouldn't care but they wouldn't let me donate. 87 days? That's an odd number.

Is 87 days maybe 3 lunar cycles? Don't know why that would be relevant though
