PS to Liz Campion's announcement --
The Red Cross folks have shot themselves in the foot by barring all of
us who have Spent a long time overseas from donating. If you have spent
some years Outside the USA, be sure to check what the current
Rules are (they keep changing the rules and making it harder for
Those with histories of overseas residence to donate) so you don't
waste your time trying to donate when they will tell you are
disqualified.
Although I am more than willing and used to
Donate my type O positive blood on a regular basis, I am now
Disqualified since they decided a few years ago to shorten the length of
time spent overseas that would preclude any blood donations.
(After disqualifying me, they keep calling, begging me to donate. They
Want that blood type, but will not actually allow me to give it to
them.)
