    Default Blood Drive



    With sickness taking a toll on everyones heath, Carter Blood Care is curently suffering a blood shortage. I recieved a call today from Linda, a represenitive of C.B.C., asking if i could donate. I would like to do this as a group, show everyone that CarClubs are not only about speed, but community as well. I would like to set up an event where we can all go and donate.

    After words we can all go and hang out somewhere to eat, and get to know each other, well at least get to know me. Please let me know if you are interested by participating in poll. Thank you....

    -Kevin

    Sorry, Carter isn't my favorite group....

    I used to donate on a regular basis. Carter screwed up my blood work (which I then spent a lot of $$ to prove they screwed up). But instead of admitting their mistake, they put me on the "black list" which basically means I can never donate again with any group.

    I'm on the black list because I have Mad Cow Disease...

    Apparently I have it too, seeing as I lived there for around 32 years

    Maybe the Japanese will take it instead....

    I didn't realize that Mexico was on the list of countries that you could give blood after have been to in the last year... Learn something new every day I guess.

    Geez... I just don't want to get poked by a raging mad phlebotomist.

    I think it's a great idea, but hard to coordinate without a larger group. I donate through my school when they do their blood drive. It's close and easy.

    I hate having blood drawn too. Over winter break I had to have blood drawn, and then work a full 8 hour day after only getting like 3 hours of sleep and my breakfast was a poptart... not a pack of two... a pop tart. I was not a happy camper that day... and they stole my blood! I want it back! And now I have a good reason to keep going back to Japan every year, that way I have a legitimate excuse

    They don't like my blood either. Fine! I'm keeping it all for myself.

    Absolutely! Excellent cause and suggestion. If I hadn't been abducted by aliens :alien: recently I would be glad to donate.
