What a bunch of whimps. I used to give as often as they would let me when I was on shore duty in Groton. They would let us have the rest of the day off, vampire liberty.
Heck I was such a regular I even managed to talk them in to letting me stick myself once.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

I love to watch them peck at my vein with the huge sharp shiny needle with its cruelly angled point until they find the vein, and  watch them as they wiggle it around a little to pierce my skin and then it slides into my vein, hopefully scratching the inside of the blood-filled vein...

And my life's force starts to redden the pipe going to the enormous bag of blood and fill it as I pump the sponge.  And I watch the bag fill with the blood which has coursed everywhere in my body, from my toes to my brain... everywhere...

Then, too quickly, they are finished and pull that big needle out, sometimes puiling at my skin as it gets yanked out, and leaving a hole in my vein and in my skin and some still comes out until they dab at it with a swab and put a cotton ball and a bandaid on it and I have to crook my arm for a while.

All too quick, all too fleeting...  I'll have to make an appointment for next week so I can watch them pierce my skin and my vein again....

Bu-wah-hahahahaaaaa!

I'm not signing this one so nobody will know who posted it.

WHATEVER YOUR DEFINITION OF "INFRINGE " IS, YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING IT.

The nurse told me my veins are perfect for apheresis. So I have that going for me, which is nice.

Eat a good, heavy meal first....then, after you give blood, drink the strongest cappuccino that you can find. The buzz you get is glorious....  =D
Impressed yet befogged, they grasped at his vivid leading phrases, seeing only their surface meaning, and missing the deeper current of his thought.

Nope.
1.  Sell Plasma
2.  Go into the conveniently located Liquor store next door and buy beer.
3.  Drink the beer quickly.
4.  Get a good buzz and still have lots of beer left.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
