This is why I have such a hard time donating blood...
Category Everything Else
As Mr. Litton well knows, I'm not a huge fan of needles. Back *many* years ago, I attempted to give blood at a company blood drive. After about five attempts on both arms, they thought that perhaps they should stop trying as I was not looking exactly well. That was the last attempt at blood donation for over 20 years.
I decided to overcome my fear a couple years ago and tried again. The first three sessions went OK. But the last two have been less than successful. Even after letting them know I'm overweight, my veins don't behave, and I don't like needles, they still think it's all OK.
Instead, they get no blood, and I get this:
Bleech!
