That's awesome! I like giving blood. Last time was about four
   years ago. Here in the USA we get orange juice and cookies,
   sometimes crackers. Usually I wouldn't get woozy towards the end
   but sometimes I would. Didn't matter. It was worth it, and I
   love the idea that my body is going to make a fresh batch of
   blood for me. Plus.. even though 'blood letting" (getting the
   "bad blood" out) isn't a current medical science "thing",
   there's a little bit of me that believes our body is kinda like
   a car engine with the oil.. and maybe there's a little gunk that
   can come out once in a while. Mostly I like that someone else
   can be helped by me. Something of me is going to flow in someone
   else's body. I find that really awesome.
