anotherlaujgirl Congrats on the donating and Happy belated Birthday :) I try to donate at least once a year. It's been about 12 years now for me. Unlike most people who get a little weak from it I get more energy and feel like bouncing off walls when I donate. I love the cookies too that they offer, mmmm. I know of a lot of people who have needed blood transfusions and I am happy to know that I have tried to do my little part to help. Keep it up, it's a wonderful thing to do and it doesn't take much at all.

The first time I donated blood was a little over 8 years ago. I wasn't really fond of the idea, for several reasons, but a really close friend was also donating. I think that was really the only reason I actually did it, we were right across from each other so that made it a little easier. Another friend was also there and they stood next to me so we could all talk, that definitely helped too.

I donated once but I got sick afterwards....felt really tired and weak. Went over to my friend's house but just slept there for a few hours. So I haven't donated after that.

I know I'm late but Happy Belated Birthday and congratulations on donating blood! I'm 19 and I don't think I've done it yet.

Congrats on your 18th and congrats on donating.  Unfortunately, since I spent 10 years in Germany, I'm not eligible....

I use to give blood, until I was told that; since my parents was over seas that I couldn't donate any longer.

They just started offering a promotion around here that if you donate a pint of blood, you get a pound of Dunkin Donuts coffee. I planned on donating soon anyhow since I want a tattoo in the next few months and won't be able to for a year afterwards.
