They won't take mine either...something about not wanting CJD over here.....oh wait a minute it is already!....but still they insist that I am a mad cow carrier for some reason. One roast beef and Yorkshore pudding too many maybe?

I used to give blood every 6 months in Blighty with no issues whatsoever. :totap:

Gulf Coast Regional Blood center is 5 years in Europe. As I was only there for 3.5, I'm eligible :mrgreen:

No such luck for me. I lived in the UK for 40 something years! I only moved here in 1998....but now I am a card carrying US Ciitizen....an NRA card that is :patriot: :anamatedbanana :fire

Still I wish I could give blood especially for our brave service men and women.

I gave whole blood three weeks ago. Work hosts the blood center 3-4 times a year so they make it easy. :thumbs2:

Gave Sunday after church. We had the Blood Mobile sitting in our parking lot. This was planned way before the Fort hood shootings.
