Don't ask, don't tell, that's how I feel in this situation. I've been a blood donor since back in the 70's after I got out of the Navy. I started giving plateletes about ten years ago with a little prodding from the ladies at the center. It used to be Stewart Blood center in Longview for years. Anyway, they need the plateletes for cancer and burn victims. And I don't really give a big rat's rear what they charge, I'm trying to do my small part to help others when it only cost me some of my time. The ladies that work at our center don't make a lot of money, so in a way they're helping needy people too. They're always friendly and fun to be around and we always have a lot of laughs, cause we're all half crazy. The last few years we've discussed the CHL topic quite a bit. Some of them carry, not at work, but they all appreciate someone being ready to look out for them. I'm also an organ donor, as I won't need any of this stuff when I leave this body. Not trying to pat myself on the back, just my .02 worth.
