They should pull up a bloodmobile for Schiavo protesters to donate.

[nytemare]

That would be a good thing now for every anti-abortion rally. Put the money where the mouth is, so to speak.

1. Hi there, nytemare...

That is an excellent idea! As a Red Cross nurse myself, I think you're onto something. And also for any anti-abortion rally, and any other sort of pro-life freeper-style gathering. I've wondered if our dear leader has ever given blood? Uggghhh.....What a concept...

:evilgrin:

[donheld]

2. Yes indeed, Excellent idea

No donate no protest.

[nytemare]

6. Yep!

Free cookies and OJ!

[Skittles]

18. I doubt these idiots would donate

they're the kind of foolish people who think you can "pick up AIDS" during the donation process

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. Hi, Skittles!

I heard it was your birthday today! I do hope you had a happy one, and many more (birthdays, not ass-kickings,lol)! You are so right, there are people who still think you can catch AIDS by donating blood! Give me a fucking break...

[Skittles]

20. howdy Peggy

25 gallons here and never stuck up a conversation with a real fundy while I was donating, ever

[nytemare]

22. It would be great, just for the irony of it

It would have to make the news.

:)

[nytemare]

4. Damned straight!

The protest now is an exercise in futility. This case is bad whatever happens. She either lives as a vegetable, or dies.

So, to make something good of it, they should take out the bloodmobile.

If I had my own bloodmobile, I would station it outside of abortion clinics and talk about the blood shortages, that they can save a life.

I have to wait another 2 months to donate, I had surgery with a cadaver graft, so I can't now.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Uhhh, I think you have to wait a year to donate after that.

I'm not really sure. Would you like me to find out? I don't work again until Friday, but then I could check. And then I could PM you. I'd be happy to do it, if you'd like...

:hi:

[nytemare]

23. Yep, I actually went to donate before Christmas,

I was thinking after 6 months it would be ok, but they said after a cadaver graft I would have to wait a year.

On edit: I had the surgery in May last year, so I would have to wait another 2 months, read your post wrong.

7. He's probably not eligible

between the ocassional foreign travel and his past (present?) drug use. Not to mention the rumors of his youthful experimentations with that ambassador guy...

[nytemare]

11. He might have given blood after 9/11, not sure though

:shrug: He didn't have too much foreign travel before, he checked "no" on that box in his air force paperwork.

[EstimatedProphet]

12. I guess you could use Bush's blood to experiment or something

but can humans receive monkey blood? To my knowledge they can't.

[nytemare]

14. DOH!

:7

[DIKB]

3. LoL

I couldn't help but picture these pale, jaundiced faces standing around shouting/praying/going into conulsions ("moved by the spirit" do they call it ?) and passing out on the sidewalks !!!

[nytemare]

5. They would have orange juice and cookies for them

The blood centers here do.

:)

[DIKB]

8. I'm also factoring in

a heavy dose of Florida sun :)

C'mon heat, activity, blood loss, do your thing !!!

[nytemare]

9. People are told not to do anything strenuous for a day

They should just follow the advice!

[DIKB]

10. but they support *

how smart can they be ? lol

[nytemare]

13. I am not sure

It would be difficult to measure so low a number.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. My concern would be: would they tell the truth?

Our form asks a LOT of SNOOPY, NOSY QUESTIONS. You know, drug use, sexual practices, and others...We don't mince words. The public's safety relies on honesty.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. We absolutely do supply them with cookies and juice after

they donate. And the law requires that they stick around for at least 15 minutes, so that they have stabilized after donating blood. We can be held liable if they leave before that time, and then collapse. This is for real...

[B Calm]

21. You would get more donations at Wilson's Transmission Repair

shop.

[nytemare]

24. We could just think of it as a "test"

See if they pass the "pro-life, then save a life, donate blood" test.

:)
