Just a friendly reminder to all of those who are able to donate, this time of year is always tough, but seems to be worse than normal this year.

I wish I could donate! I'm a rather rare type, too! But everytime I've done it, the people doing it botch it. In 8 attepts they've only gotten 4 donations, and I wind up with bruises on my arm for a month! I'm what they call a hard stick, my veins make it difficult to start an i.v. (have the same trouble in hospitals).

If they're that needy, maybe I'll try again...
