In the comments to yesterday’s post, Angela asked if my Talisman Shawl will take more than one skein. I’m planning for it to take only one (since that’s all I’ve got). The Wollmeise is a lovely big skein — 575 yards. For this shawl, after you work the set-up chart, you can repeat the body chart as m ...

Cain is a gay man who attempted to donate blood to the Red Cross a few years ago but was turned away solely for being a sexually active gay man.

I'm fortunate to have a Mayo Clinic Blood Donor Center at my place of employment, which makes it easy for me to take 45 minutes out of my workday and donate a unit of blood. The donor center also opens up early, so I was able to get one of the 6:30 appointments and here I am, with my 110th unit of A ...

Just got back from donating blood. The whole process took longer than normal since they were so busy. Who would have thought they would be busier mid-day than the evening. Weird. Donation 44 this time. Cookies and juice were plentiful like always. Now I'm all bandaged up and ready to go out for beer ...

Received an email last night telling me I am eligible again to donate blood. (It has been 8 weeks since my last donation.) I gave up today’s scheduled run in favor of donating blood. But unplanned donations are never a sure thing for me. Usually I need to spend a few days prior to the donation eatin ...

I just finished scheduling my next six platelet donations with the Red Cross, which will carry me through to the end of March. Yes, for the first three months of 2010 I will be donating platelets every two or three weeks. Can you say "ouch"? Also, would anyone care to join me? ^_-
