Unclean!

[kellmaestra]

So did you ever read the Peanuts Strip where Lucy tell Linus he has to wash his hands because he touched the dog and Snoopy chases Lucy around yelling "UNCLEAN"?  Today, and apparently forever, I am Snoopy.

The why of it:  Many years ago, I was a dedicated blood donor working on my second gallon donation pin. I was the TN Dept of General Services

I'm stunned. I remember when you received that letter and participated in the study. I cannot believe the Red Cross wouldn't have updated their methods and practices in 13 years. I know they want to be safe and make sure everyone they supply is safe, but this is ridiculous.

The REd Cross hasn't taken my blood since 1995 - the point where they decided I spent so much time in England, I must be carrying Mad Cow disease.

That's just insane.

Ugh! I have touched the Unclean One -- no more hugs for you! ::grin::

Seriously, this will definitely make me think next time the Red Cross is doing one of their critical shortages, everyone donate drives. When you keep ruling willing people out, what do you expect?

While I hate to hear this, welcome to the club.

My grandfather had Creutzfeld-Jacobs, so now I, nor my children can donate.
