I'm donating platelets next month. I'm a 'hard stick' so I try to space it out. It's a bit less of an ordeal now that I can watch a movie from a player right at my recliner. Goes much faster.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

I went and donated today! My hemoglobin was low last time, but I was good today. Mom is on her sixth or seventh transfusion.

About halfway done!

They couldn't get a vein on my left arm, so we're having to make do with one feed...

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

You guys are awesome. I have a history of passing out when I donate so it has been a long time.

I hope everything goes well for your mom, Shell B <3

You’re a fucking champ! I can’t wait to show my mom tomorrow. She has many bags every day. It’s keeping her alive. You’re saving people’s fucking lives. I love you, man. Right now, I’m a blubbering asshole. This is so fucking kind.
