O+, I've donated a few times. Yes it hurts, but thinking of the good I'm doing makes it a little less painful. And who doesn't love chocolate chip cookies and orange juice?

The Red Cross has a booth at our state fair where they will do blood typing for free. It only takes a few minutes, and is pretty cool. I already knew my BT, but the hub didn't know his. We found out he's A+.

Fascinating! My Mother is A+ as was my daddy. My brother claims that the Army typed his blood as AB-. He refuses to be re-tested, so until he's officially on the transplant list, I guess he's taking some major chances with his life! Yet, there were three baby boys born within 15 minutes of his birth, and my parents often wondered if they were given the right child...
Oh, I'm A+.

I'm type A+, which I found out during one of the approximately ten zillion blood drives I participated in during college.
I think my A+ blood goes well with my Type A personality

A+, found out when I had my wisdom teeth out. Baby Berry is B+ and the blood place is always calling up here to see if she wants to donate. I keep telling them that she's off at college but they keep calling--out of desperation?

Couldn't say it better myself. You know you're a Type A personality when you stand in front of a microwave saying, "Come on come on come on!"
As for blood banks calling, there's a huge shortage due to the number of people getting tattoos (some places you have to wait a year, others 6 months) multiple piercings (ditto), and the number of places which are spreading forms of hepatitis. I'm convinced my blood bank has me on speed dial.

I'm O+ and so is my husband. I don't remember for sure, but I think that means my daughter is also O+. I think I got kicked off the Red Cross list when they had to go digging in my arm for a vein (took them forever to find it) and then I gave in 4 min and just about passed out. Of course that was after I learned that I have to fake the temperature test, because my natural body temp is .1 degree too high to donate.

O- ... universal donor. I found out the one and only time I've donated blood. I nearly passed out, so I haven't donated since, but that didn't keep the blood bank from calling and calling and calling...

O+ as is the hubby and our kids.
I found out due to being Active Duty and it being on my ID card 
Can't donate though since I lived in England and everyone is convinced I have mad cow disease. Guess the fact I don't eat cow doesn't matter LOL
