Hey, how's everyone's goals working out?

so, how's everyone's goals going?

yay:thumb_yello:

I live in America...here you can givwe at 16 with permission, but at 17 without... nice word play, my dear

I'm sorry... you sound like you've had fun blood adventures, too

oh, honey, don't worry about passing out, you'll be fine... they've got people who just walk around the thing making sure people who are a touch paler than when they came in are okay, and they watch you the whole time to make sure your safe... I hope you do it next year!

*crosses fingers and toes* good luck:original:

Me too... and of course they had to show all those depressing videos of the lives that are saved by donating blood(I know its happy that they are helped, but you think about all the others who still need it and...) to get people to participate, and i was sad because i couldn't help the little baby who needed blood... poor little baby! I'm glad ya'lls went all smoothly!

My cell phone converts stones to kilos, then kilos to lbs, but I can't remember what it equates to...

I hate football, but I live in Georgia, and we have the Falcons:punk: One of the 3 worst teams in the state:yay:

I know you probably don't care, but here's my recent blood-related adventure. So, my school was having a blood drive, in which I could participate, if I had parent/guardian permission. So, I asked my LA teacher about it and he said they were coming in to talk to us that day. Well, they girls talking to us did a terrible job and didn't tell us where to take the forms. So I got my mom to sign it and ask my LA teacher where to take it(they talked to us through the LA classes). The next day, he found out for me that I needed to take it a certain office, so the next morning I took it down to the office to turn in it, to find out that the girls should have had me sign up when they came to talk to me, but I signed up then so it was all good. I was supposed to get a blood drive excuse slip the next day, but do to the fact my mom used a blue flare pen instead of a blue or black pen, they didn't send one because they wanted to ask the blood drive people if they could accept it, but I didn't know this and went around to ask of my teachers I could find to see if they had a sheet for me, but they didn't. So I went down at lunch, read the info, and they couldn't find my form. Finally, they realized it was in the pile of forms to ask the red cross people about, so she went and asked them for me, and found out that it would be okay if they made a copy if it. So she went and made a copy while I filled out the paperwork and went in to wait for an hour or so until they called me up for the blood test and interrogation session. The woman was incredibly nice, but she had a really soft voice, and so I had ask her to repeat questions a lot, including the really awkward ones(you can probably guess...). So I survived the finger prick and got in line to actually donate. I sit in the chair and the lady preps me, then puts the needle in my arm. She hooks me up to the bag, then starts fiddling with it and calls another lady over. She is muttering in hushed tones, and I start freaking mentally. Then, they call another lady over, who starts pushing on the needle to try and declot my blood. I start getting nauscious, and they lean me back, put a towel on my neck and head give me ice to chew. They finally decide that its clotting too much, and they can't fix it, so they stop it and take the needle out. At this point, I start crying because I managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of defeat. Now my arm is disgusting and sore and I got dizzy later when my blood sugar dropped. Despite this, I'm still planning donating next time.

Don't feel bad... I'm sure you're doing just fine...

Aww... I hope you feel better... chemistry is a beast, i hear you. My teacher causes terror in me, which is bad because she's really close to my mom...so, I hear you. I was so confused by NHS(that's my school's initials and though at first you were talking about it...) At my school its cool because its NHS's NHS...

nice plan! I have a piggy bank that i never use cause it turns my money black, but its one of those that are a pain in the behind to open, you have to unscrew it and ugh...

Hi! I made my grandmother listen to Josh Groban today, and she really liked it!
