Heartland

I'd love to be able to help folks that way, but I'd probably pass out! I'm disqualified (or I used to be, anyway) because I'm iron deficient and borderline anemic. Meh. I've a phobia of needles and blood, too. Sux0rs!

Haven't got a phobia of either but it took me a while to get over the fact that I would be sitting there with a tube coming out of my arm with MY blood in it, as "The blood is the life" and all that I would feel like my life was running out of me so to speak...the next session is 14th january so lets see if I can do it!

so far i gave blood only twice, last one when i tried i was sick - of course i didn't knew that - but i should do that regularly.

I thought I would do that last year, then I saw the size of the needle!

I really should, I have nae probs wi blood tests (of which I have many) these days, but....

I used to give blood in Dublin.I never had any problems actually quite the oppoisite,it was made for a fun afternoon. Your where given all the cakes crisps and sambos you could eat and to wash them down a pint of guinness.Then you got a bunch of pencils with "The owner is a doner" printed on the side.And Last but by no means least the attention of some very pretty nurses

I swear I'm going to lose weight- I've never been so fat

I need to gain weight - wife thinks I could be in Trainspotting....

You are sooo lucky. I was like that and then I swapped cigarettes for chocolate biscuits

I don't think I'm allowed to give blood.

Oh well, their loss.

Okay, you got me with the pretty nurses argument : I'll give blood in 2008. Sounds like the right thing to do.
What were the other two ? Oh yeah : get a life and keep losing weight.

Aye, the biccies are deadly, and this time I mean the chocolate kind

new year resolution no.1 ... maintain self employment, no more working for the man.

A consequence of this is I'm not gonna be sitting bored out of my brains in dead end jobsville
which means much less time on here.
However like Izzy be it would be nice to meet more of you in the coming months.
Hope to be in Germany a lot this year so if PIB is really being less cryptic, see you all at a sisters gig.(remember them ?)
glutton for punishment that I am. Adrenachrome 2008 please.
