Sweet Interlude

[James MacMillan]

Ten gallons

That is impressive!

Way to go!

I'm only at 23 pints! Of course for several years I was listed as a malaria carrier and they didn't want any of my red stuff. Plus, I'm a universal donor - O+

Another splendid example of the power of the kilt.

I don't think you would want to wear a big girly hoop earring or something like that, so yes there is a difference. Most are fine for either gender though.

Is there a difference? I have had a pierced ear for my than 30 years and did not know. So maybe I shouldn't steal one from my wife anymore

Great my wife doesn't have any of those so I guess I can keep stealing one of hers..

Ted I have seen some very nice celtic knot earrings at the Scottish games we were at in October.

I'll have to look into those. Sometimes I like the look of two different earrings, like a black pearl in one ear and a gold piratish hoop in the other. Two of the same might be best in this case. Thanks for telling me.

"girly" hoops?

Having tattoos, I am no longer able to give blood. However, when I was in college, it was a great way to meet girls - I would volunteer to help, and would escort the young ladies, who were always needing someone strong to lean on, over to the snack table. Had many a date after such...gallantry...

So, I'm at work kilted in my Leatherneck tartan today. Stopped by the hospital to donate blood at the blood drive.

The lady who asks all those questions before donation lit up when she saw my kilt and said her ex-husband had a Leatherneck tartan kilt. Then she tells me her first name, which is Gaelic and I don't remember, and goes on and on about being around kilted men and pipers and highland games all her life...sadly, a much younger lady...not sure where she's from, the blood bank folks travel around the remote towns of Arizona harvesting blood.

Her ear rings and necklace were Celtic knot designs. A lucky find for a younger rabble.

But sure a nice change with affirmation and appreciation instead of the usual silly questions.

Ron

Glad to hear of it.

Man, I can't donate blood I hate needles. Blood is supposed to be inside of yourself, not in a warehouse!!

[KiltedCodeWarrior]

Good on you Ron! 10 gallons, wow!

And I have to say, the USAK Cladish tartan remains one of my favorites and looks like you enjoy it as well.

[Monkey@Arms]

Well done, Ron. I used to donate all the time, but alas my time spent living in Scotland has actually banned me from donating, (mad coos disease and all that )

Best regards,

Jake
