Uh, sorry about that, my bad. |

I also am prohibited to donate blood, because my blood pressure never goes |
| 29 |
higher than 110/70. The Red Cross guys had me jog around the building for |
| 30 |
15 minutes yet the systolic number stubbornly refused to climb higher than |
| 31 |
115. |

|

After going to 3 separate blood drives and experiencing the exact same |
| 34 |
incident, I give up :-( |

|

(Besides, them blood guys said that my blood's 'not something special' so |
| 37 |
I'm not robbing humanity of something valuable. I know they tried to |
| 38 |
assuage my guilty feeling, but in the process also torn down my |
| 39 |
self-respect :-( |
