I've been...Giving blood is being a life saver.<br /><br />I've been a donor for many years. The process has changed, altered, been refined and updated. The purpose will always be the same - I'm a universal donor blood type, it's a way of volunteering in my community, it's somewhat of a mini-health check, the juice and cookies after donating are the bomb (pineapple juice and shortbread, butter cookies required), it takes a very short amount of time; and, most important ~ give so someone else can live.<br /><br />For me, it's one of the easiest and essential ways of paying it forward I can imagine. In addition, especially for men (because you don't bleed on a monthly basis), it stimulates your blood, replacing the little that you've just donated to help an anonymous stranger. All good.<br /><br />Finally, thanks to your Dad for motivating you to give blood. Nevertheless, indeed, pity the dachshund.<br /><br />Thanks, as always, Rich.<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />~ Jessan Jessan Dunn Otishttps://jessandunnotis-writer.comnoreply@blogger.com
