I know what my blood type is

[Mahonri]

I'm not so certain about AB being universal recipients.

O- is the universal donor.

United Blood Services also love O+ (I'm O+) They call me constantly and I can no longer donate.

My Father was A+, my Mother was O+. (Mom's Dad was O- and her Mom was O+)
Out of 7 children I am the only one with O+ blood. My other siblings are A+, A+, A-, A+, A- and A-.

My wife is A+. All of my children but one is A+... the one with my name as his middle name is O+ like me. At least one family member can give me blood. (Mom is too old to give now)

I'm O - also..(mom and dad were both O - also).. so....what blood can i have and not have again? I always want to donate...but i'm chicken...

But i hear you get cookies?

 

[Mahonri]

Yeah, you can get cookies, but you can also only recieve O- blood.

Yep cookies and apple juice here! I don't donate anymore since my weight dropped but it wasn't painful to me just boring. Cookies and juice made up for it!

I'm a weirdo on here and in much of the US. I'm B+ and so is my mom. Don't know what my dad is. Been trying to get my man to donate blood so he would know what he is.
