Yesterday I donated blood, before the donation the receptionist asked if I was donating as part of a group. As usual the reply was, ?no,? which got me thinking. Does anyone know of a worthwhile group, or could we start our own? I?m open to suggestions.

But think that it would be great if we could donate blood as a TR group.

If we do this, it needs to be considered that anyone who is diabetic, has any kind of blood disorder, or has taken chemotherapy or certain other drug therapies will be disqualified from donating. People who aren't allowed to donate pretty much know who they are. And there are many of them here.

Personally, I like the idea. Haven't got a clue what TR would think of it.

for some reason I get excluded from being listed as an acceptable donor.

yet, full panel of blood tests has me in a minority world wide in the results, I do not have any trace of herpes simplex, which is cold sores. or any other STD, my bloodwork gives them every reason to lust after my donation.

[ the picture of me for that "Men of TR" Calandar shows why they blacklist me ]

that we never did the Men of TR calendar. It would have had a place of honor in my office. Or on my fridge..

I was turned away because I am from the UK and Mad Cow Disease and all (although that was 7-8 years ago).
Guess that got my back up, so I said screw them and haven't ever investigated since. :p

[ I have no idea, it wasn't me doing the calendar. ]

hmmm, let us think back.. Mae, GG, Tigger, Shell, Stargazererererrererererere all got to see the pic. everyone else got ripped off by the calendar not getting done. ]:)

edit to add:

poor Beth, she didn't get to see the picture of me for the calendar.

Because you were the only one who followed through.

I did consider making you Mr. 2007.

it wasn't my fault. :D

I was the only guy that supported the fund raising attempt for breast cancer that the calendar was for. :|

I remember the rumblings of the guy calender from before I went AWOL. I almost thought it had been done when I saw your initial post.
