Say donating, doning same thing, but the tiny amount of ambiguity in doning confuses old people like me >.<

Sadly I was blessed with a naturally slim figure. I have eaten a KFC family bucket by myself. I just got bigger boobs.SonicWaffle said:Did you try leaving, hitting KFC for a Family Bucket, and going back again shouting "weigh me now bitches, I dare you!"?Viral_Lola said:
I donate blood regularly, every three months. I even got the the discount in certain stores because I gave it more than 10 times, it's how it works in my country, there are some bonuses for more than 15, 20...an so on...also if you are regular donor they consider your blood cleaner and they use it for more important stuff, like babies and children.
Donate blood, if you can, it's good for you. New blood cells are created faster if you donate blood, thus you are healthier. Also you get a sandwich and juice after donation!
I'm 0+ so my blood good for almost everyone.

Yeah, I remember when we used to hang around Underground Blood Donation Stations all night in the cold, just waiting for a chance.SonicWaffle said:You know, for second there I read that as hipsterikrit said:
"Blood donation? Nah. I used to do it before it was cool, but now everyone knows about it it's totally gay"
It was riskier back then, of course. But now they've totally sold themselves out with their 'Clean needles'.
Too mainstream.
I've not donated for years but I have done in the past and plan to again in the New Year.
Although there is no payment, I still donate because, unlike some, I actually want to help my fellow man and don't expect payment for it! Mind you, they do bring you a paper, a cuppa and some snacks so it's not a one-way street by any stretch.
For the record my blood is A RH Positive. It's a fairly common blood type (so I'm told) and I really need to get donating again. I've not donated for a few years for a number of reasons.
The last time I did, I had a bit of a scare. It was my own stupid fault for donating blood, forgetting (trust me, I AM that dozy!) and then trying to play DDR a few hours later. Halfway through Ecstacy (on Expert) I near collapsed! I've not played DDR since...

I can't. Would if I could, but they won't let me. I could probably get them to test it, but it would take a while and they'd insist on testing it every time

Yeah, the same thing happened to me, but people don't seem so enthusiastic about them when you're a guy :-/Viral_Lola said:
There's probably some of that yeah.Bhaalspawn said:

As an aside, in WW2, they had seperate white and black blood for soldiers injured in combat.thaluikhain said:
Come to think of it, wasn't that the opening five minutes of Blade 2? So not only did you like blood donation before it was cool, but you can claim to vampires too!ikrit said:
Agreed. These days, all the cool kids are into donating bone marrow, at least until the ordinary lamers catch on and we have to find other body parts to give away.ikrit said:
EDIT: fixedit. No idea what happened there.
The world have yet to accept moobies, but I?m sure it would have been a minor comfort in the shower.SonicWaffle said:
I used to give blood very regularly, even though I'm not a fan of needles, since being diagnosed with diabetes my blood is pretty much useless, delicious, but useless.
Anyway, I have to deal with needles every day, but that doesn't make it easier. I find that it's best to just not look, don't watch the needle going in, don't look at the needle before it goes in, look into the middle distance and try to think about something, maybe go over your plans for the rest of the day. Blood donor needles are actually pretty small, not painful... there are needles, and then there are NEEDLES!. The worst is when you have to get arterial blood tested, the stuff is like maple syrup compared to normal blood, and the needles are horrible... blood donor needles are neat and painless little things these days.
Anyway, don't let needles put you off giving blood - a few minutes of mild discomfort might very well save someones life. Fear of needles is a problem for some people, I'm just saying that usually when you actually face it, and give it a go, it's far less of an ordeal than you imagine. Plus, there's a chance that you'll be drained by a cute nurse, what a great way to spend 10 minutes of your time.

I don't eat KFC in the shower. Makes my crispy chicken soggy.Viral_Lola said:
On a completely different note, isn't Moobies the fast food chain from Kevin Smith's films?
