He's a big bruiser but when the needle went in, he went toes up. <br /><br />I teased him a great deal. Then when it was my turn the nurse had a hard time finding my vein--felt like she was digging to China.

It was a very hot day.<br /><br />Jade - I'm glad you're back. It sounds like you are very brave and would have no trouble donating blood.<br /><br />Kady - It's not that I would say no if offered money for my blood. It's always been done for free here.<br /><br />Prefectdt - Getting the day off sounds like a nice reward. There are many reasons people here are excluded from donating. I will share that list on my blog soon.<br /><br />Lea - My veins are a challenge too. I know someone who got through college by donating. The money kept him from starving.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />HermioneHermionehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395671806340391253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178998232488314107.post-17452768554243869902011-05-27T20:15:49.515-04:002011-05-27T20:15:49.515-04:00I use to give plasma for cash until they got picky...I use to give plasma for cash until they got picky about having people with better veins than mine.

Now I live in Belgium, where you get to take the rest of the day off work for free, if you donate blood.
