Re: INFO - American Red Cross: blood donor eligibility guidelines

[Guest guest]

After reading over these guidelines, I believe that my blood would be

acceptable for notation. Maybe I'll try it.

Just call ahead, Sue. Rheumatoid arthritis is common enough that your

donation center should have established guidelines for it. Same with

diabetes.

I remember when I was in grade school, my mother donated blood during

a drive at our parish. The American Red Cross called later and told my

mother that she had syphilis. She was furious and told them that that

was impossible. After further investigation, it was found that she did

not have syphilis, but it was a biological false positive (she has

antiphospholipid antibodies).

LOL, Sue. I wasn't going to say anything.

Just blame your new computer or spell checker.

Oh god, I love these little little typos because they're so unexpected and

usually surprise the author as well. It's like the digital version to old radio

bloopers which were great because they took their jobs sooooo seriously. Of

course, my favorite was the guy who said, " and now let's take a leak out the

window and see if it's freezing. " Er...I think he meant to say " look, " and of

course you can hear everyone in the background failing to stifle their laughter.

Not making it up!
