  I Gave Blood!

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i went the other day to give a pint of my own blood for my upcoming surgery............boy oh boy, did i start to feel guilty at first, but then everyone told me what a smart idea it was: the doctors, nurses, family, ex-witness friends, friends at work........it was a piece of cake, so i go again next week to give more.. what is the gbs reasoning on refusing this procedure?

  i'm not taking anyone else's blood in to my body; my blood doesn't have to be "poured out" because i'm not frigging dead!!!!.

  how many lives could have been saved if they had even said "okay, you can store your own blood.

  CO's and DO's meeting in the UK

  by Jim Dee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  at the risk of being called a "troll" again , i will share just one of the items discussed at the co's and do's emergency meeting.

  so as not to be doubted, this is to be covered at most/all of the co's and do's visits over the next 6 months in the uk.

  the society is concerned about the level of waste and expense caused by excess wt and awakes being ordered by the brothers and sisters which are then not put into the hands of the public.

  the answer to that question is yes!!

  we always want the easy way out , a pill, a religion , a shrink to make us happy.no one can make you happy but you.start taking control of your own life and your own brain and stop depending on others.

  xena posted this the other day.
