my veins are to small.. .

i'm getting another blood test next week that will mean more than one tube of blood being taken.

i wonder where they are going to try to get it from??

Yes Breck they still do. I was asked once when I tried to donate plasma and was told I couldn't back them because of my ear rings. I think they told me you have to wait at least 6 months to a year afterwards. My holes in my ears were kinda new so they said I couldn't then.

They also looked at my veins at that time and said they didn't know if they could do it then either because of small veins. They always use the smallest needle they can on me because of my small veins but I guess I never put 2 and 2 together before. I guess the needles are kind of big for donating blood and plasma.

Thanks ((Dinah))

No Sweetface I don't bruise easy. I have to get hit pretty hard for a mark to show up. I somethimes get the ones where I have no idea where they came from. I just assume I walked into something and don't remember it. I'm slightly clumsy. Those usually show up on my legs but not that often.

My veins are to small. I totaly would too if my veins weren't so small. I had a blood test last week and the lady who took my blood couldn't find a single vein to draw from on my inner elbow on either arm. She went for my veins on top of my hands and blew veins on both hands. She barley got enough blood to do the test with before she blew the second one. She told me becasue I asked about it that they would turn me away because I'm not easy to get blood from because of my small veins and because my veins rolled away when she tried to poke it.

Jw upbringing and retarded social growth.

by AK - Jeff in

i was raised a jw, by an inactive jw mom.

looking back, and reflection on my childhood, causes me to wonder.. i honestly did not miss the holidays, for example.

i never had them, so nothing was taken away in that regard.

It's weird isn't it Jeff?? I'll call people back but it's always that first phone call that I just don't make. After that I'll call them if I want to talk to them. They have to be the one who calls me the first time.

I'm pretty much a loner. I always have been. At the same time I've always had at least one really good friend in my life at all times. Except for the last year or so. I've been alone and BFF less for a while now. I have lots of "friends" or as I call them people that I know. No one that I can really call in the middle of the night if I need to talk.

Growing up I was encouraged to only be friends with JW's. I had "friends" in school but they never came to my house and I never gave them my number so they never called me and I never called them. Still to this day I've only had one BFF that wasn't raised a JW in my whole life. She was the one who helped open my eyes to the cult and showed me life on the outside.

I read a lot. I lived my life through books for a long time. The people in the books were my friends. I was one weird kid that's for sure. I'm still not like other people. I've decided that I'm ok with that.

As I've gotten older I have changed somewhat. Not a lot. I still don't give out my phone number to people I don't know really well. Even when I do 99% of the time I don't call them first. I always wait for them to call me. I'll talk to just about anyone. I just don't feel close with people. Animals is a totaly different story. I can open my heart to any animal I see. Just ask A&W. LOL!! Here kitty kitty!!!

Good news is I recently made a friend at work. She's a nice girl a few months younger than me. I also found my old BFF from my teen years as a JW. She was a JW too and has now left as well. The last time I saw her was about 7 years ago. The last time we really had a relationship was about 12 years ago. She got married and her husband didn't like me so he forbade her from talking to me. I met up with her Saturday. She's divorced from the asshole now. Our connection was still there. Plus I have really good friends from other boards I talk to all the time. So now I have a few close friends. Not to mention all my apostate buddy's I've met from here. If only I could get over my phone weirdness I'd probally have a ton more friends. I'm a friendly type of person I just don't know how to make real deep connections with people easy.

I think it has a lot to do with how I was raised. People outside the congergation just weren't friends material. Now I don't have a congergation to choose friends from so it's harder to find them.

I have a learning disability called dyslexia. I have a very hard time spelling things sometimes and I have no way to spell check things on this site. My spell check works at other site but not this one. It may be because it's firefox. I don't know. I do try but somtimes I can't even find a word in the dictionary because in my head it's spelled totaly diffrent than what it really is. *sigh*

My learning disability and lack of good spelling doesn't mean I'm stupid or dumb. I know I'm smart I just think differently than others. I can't help having this dyslexia. If I could cure it I would. I feel really bad and stupid when people make threads like this. It's like a personal attack. If the spelling police of JWD can't stand my miss spellings don't read or post in my topics. That's all I have to say about that.
