Donating Blood Kilted

[johnnym]

Good job. Keep it up. After many years of donating and passing the 8 gallon mark, the Red Cross changed their rules in 2001. It seems that since I was stationed in the Azores Islands in 1980, that I had been exposed to mad cow disease and was therefore no longer eligible to donate. I could understand a deferment of a couple years, but to be permanently disqualified sounds like overkill to me. My last donation was just before 9-11, and before I discovered the comfort and fun of going kilted.

Aye, the questions sure have changed over the years. Noticed today that all the questions they used to ask about Africa have been dropped and now the questions are about South America...go figure.

You might wanna recheck with the current list of everchanging questions.

And, forgot to mention that the lady across from me seemed to keep trying to peek up my kilt...weird, must be what women feel like when we try to look ourselves. Nothing for her to see. Decorum for the position required to donate seemed to indicate that boxers would be most appropriate.
