Pluggers by Rick McKee for December 23, 2012

I gave a pint on my 65th birthday on way to 6 gal

I gave for years, but once you’ve had Blood Cancer they don’t want you anymore.

(Can’t blame ‘em, some things SHOULDN’t be shared)

Last time I gave blood it was on a bus in the Comfort Inn parking lot because “paying customers” had already booked both the Buchanan and Eisenhower conference rooms. The damn thing nearly tipped over.

over 15 gallons in while in Iowa, Almost a gallon here. Small potatoes compared to some who have given over 60 gallons. The Gift of Life! :-)

Whenever you do something, you should always give it 100%. Except when you’re giving blood. More than ten gallons here.

I think the colorist goofed this one up. Looks like Earl is drinking blood, yuck! Should be orange juice.

wife & I donated yesterday, mmm cookies afterwards, always nice.

I donated until I contracted MRSA (at the hospital) now I am no longer eligible

Meds keep me from giving. But I use to.

77 pints and counting. The Blood Bank Medical Director, My Primary Care Doc. and now my Cardiologist all say donating is ok for me. Times and rules keep changing. The best gift is an annoynomus gift.

I Donate platelets here, up to 175 units. about 21 Gallons

Leo, Rodney. I know the feeling. My blood is too sweet, but I have my 10 Gal card.

Bless you all. They don’t want me either…I’m too sweet. Remember, whatever you do, give 100%. Except when donating blood.
