"Home Repairs for Dummies!"

Given all the things about that house you described to me, I think that book is very apropos!

It's said that the reason why kids get along so well with their grand parents is b/c they both have a common enemy.

Good morning, Team Rachel. I'll be needing some help here. Christmas eve at my sister's house we got some troubling news about one of my nephews. Long story short: as a kid he was in a major automobile accident, multiple transfusions, Hepatitis C , liver transplant, and all has been well for many years. Now after all the years of anti rejection meds his kidneys are starting to fail as is his liver. He is on a list for a dual transplant, but ------------------

Prayers....

I'm gonna take a moment to climb on a soap box: If you can, please consider taking an hour of your life and donating a pint of blood. If not for 8 wonderful strangers who rolled up their sleeves and offered up their life giving blood, I'd be a widow today. Only 10% of the people who CAN donate blood have EVER donated a single time.

Removing jaw, lower lip,most of tongue, upper roof of mouth, lymph nodes, etc. Now 6 weeks of radiation everyday Mon- Fri, 2 weeks left amen. Hopefully we can put this behind us. Once all is said & done. Prayers and blessings to everyone

Wow! that is a tough battle.

I had no idea it was so low. I donated buckets as a college kid... don't think I have donated in years.

Is there an age cut off for donation ?

I'm not sure something to look into

I don't think so, there is a weight requirement. Must weigh more than i think 100 pounds i think.
I used to give blood a lot but sometimes my blood pressure drops and i feel faint.

 

[sourland]

I gave blood routinely until I retired - was even on emergency call if the local hospital had an emergency and ran short. I have always been borderline on clotting factor, but was never refused.

Wow you're truly a blessing
