We just received this email from a Buried Life follower and we thought it was pretty appropriate for Halloween. The message is this: don’t suck blood…give it! Check out what Catherine had to say:
Hi - Great site and fun things to think about… Which leads me to
suggest a thing for you to do ASAP from your list. AND you can keep on
doing it after your first time! I’ve been a blood donor for over 25
years - come on guys! It’s EASY, PAINLESS, and does so much good for
others! Plus you get FREE donuts and juice afterwards! It’ so simple
to cross off your list and it’s a GREAT place to meet ladies who are
assured of your healthy status (no STDs nor AIDS!) And of course, you
will feel good every time you donate that your donation will SAVE
LIVES. They give you cool gifts randomly and you get terrific gifts
when you reach donation milestones, I’m trying to get the faux-wood
electric wall clock, achieved after 5 gallons donated. I’m almost
there. Lastly, if you do an Apheresis donation, you lie there and
watch movies and meet other cool, like-minded folks. Great way to
expand your circle of friends.
Here are a few blood sucking sites:
Also, did you know that October is breast cancer awareness month?
Check out these boobalicious sites:
Boarding For Breast Cancer (B4BC)
For those of you in Northern Cali, there are the Blood Centers of the Pacific (www.bloodcenters.org). I give blood about every 6-8 weeks, or as often as they will let me. It just seems like a really easy way to “give back” or “pay it forward.”
