this is a great thread. i have NO IDEA what my type is, although i've donated to blood drives before. I just called my mom and she doesnt know either. Thanks mom.

I need to pay more attention to the important stuff.

If you donated through the Red Cross, you should have received a donor card with your blood type on it.

O-, and I'm ashamed to say I don't donate as often as I should I have once and needles don't bother me. It's much like every other "should" in my life. I just don't have time! (but I should make time)

My best friend is O-, and he gets Red Cross invites out the ASS. I think he gets notices of every blood drive within 100 miles. And I love how they always say "You're our Type O Hero!".

Yeah, I get letters from them all the time. I'm just really bad at planning and that sort of thing. It's like organ donation. Illinois recently passed a law making one's wishes on organ donation legally binding. The idea being this way your family can't prevent your organs from being donated if it's what you wanted. So now you have to re-sign up (lifegoeson.com). I want to donate my organs, but have I signed up? No. Why? I don't know.

Well while I was unable to donate whole blood today (was under FDA time limit), I did give double platelet.

And did anyone else give today?
