Bloodletting

I have a blood donation appt. today at 2 p.m.

I hate needles.

But, my blood type is O-negative, which means I am a universal donor. Which means the American Red Cross LOVES me. So I go, every 56 days, which is as often as they will let me.

Really, a brief needle stick (two, counting the finger poke) and an hour or two every two months is a small sacrifice for the potential gift of life.

Plus, when else do you get to eat as many Little Debbies as you want?
