Lifesource

i decided to go give blood today. for some reason, i feel that giving blood serves as atonement for anything bad i might have done lately. that being said, i try to do it as often as i’m allowed — and this is the place i always come to do it.
i know some people are afraid of needles, but giving blood can be a fairly painless thing. especially when you have great people, like the ones at lifesource, to help you through it! more important, though, is the fact that giving blood SAVES LIVES! and i firmly believe in doing something good for humanity when you can — this is a great way to do so.
finally…and this is completely selfish, giving blood makes your body work harder throughout the day and therefore burns calories. my nurse today told me i would probably lose a pound… which is fine with me as i likely gained a pound eating 47 cookies yesterday.
so go — give blood! take a friend with you if you’re nervous. people need your help :)

I’ve given blood here a couple of times and while the office is small… I’ve had very good service.
The past couple of times I’ve been I’ve had low iron and have been unable to donate. They have been very considerate and do my iron test before making me fill out all the paperwork… so I was able to get my rejection done and over with quickly.
More people should donate blood… it really does save a life… and I read somewhere that donating blood burns like 600 calories, so there’s another reason why you should do it!
