Give blood!

[Muscleduke]

Yo guys,

Starting fresh cycle next Monday (Just test) , planning on giving blood in the 20th jan.

I know it's ok to give blood mid cycle, but this will be a week after I started. This still ok?

Thank you & Happy new year!

Yea, test won't hurt the blood at all. They are going to ask you if you use any injectable drugs and so on. If you say yes, there is no need to even bother going. If it was prescription TRT, it wouldn't even be a yes going by the way they question it so there is no need to feel guilty.

Another Goat roping Ga story . . . I went to a Red Cross and the nurse asked me a verbal question not on the written sheet and you don't have to answer any questions not on the written questions !

She asked me if I lifed weight on a reqular bassis and just out of pure predjuice she said you look like you take ilegal drugs we are not going to accept your donation ?

There is noting on my record so now I donate at a place 10 miles further away and they have prettier girl at the new place anyway. So do be chummy with the Red Cross and think before you answer the written question because they do keep a record of these !

Yeah, I personally have never forgiven the red cross for keeping 98% of their donations in the past until it became publically known. Im old so I remember old crap, but those bastards used to "use" 98% of their donations for administrative costs; i.e. salaries. I personally own and run a 501c3 public charity and anyone keeping more than 20% is a crook in my eyes. Can you imagine donating $10,000.00 to the red cross only to discover that only $200 of that $10,000.00 went to helping anyone????!!!! I wont even give them my blood now! Lol. I know this is from a long time ago, but I don't want anyone to forget. If you have a chance to help people, just do it yourself. Your money will go a lot further. I know they don't do this now, but it is probably just because they got caught and not because they cared about anyone. I have even been asked, and accepted a position on a medical advisory board for the red cross. So I am not totally against them now. But I still have some anger towards them and can only speak about them like this incognito. If some lady at the Red Cross told me it looked like I took illegal drugs and they wouldn't accept my blood, I would have said- "Yeah, come to think of it you look like you have some severe VD and I really don't want your infected disgusting body touching me and transferring your hideousness on me; you wretched f*ck!" : ) Sorry, I have a test headache. Ha ha.

Oki, several of non profits unfortunately have very high paid CEOs and employees.

Unicef - 1.25 million
Red Cross - 650K
United Way - 375k

Luckily there are still great people out there in this industry, Read that salvation army CEO only makes $13,000
