Good karma

[jethrien]

Earned my good karma points for the day. Just gave blood at the office blood drive. They had these great stretchy bandages that they used instead of tape - I'm in love. Usually, the tape pulls out all my arm hair, and then leaves a black sticky residue for the next three days, no matter how much I scrub. This thing sticks only to itself, and is stretchy. I even got to pick the color (I got blue).

No, your father goes to the specific blood center because it is the one nearest home. He donates blood and platelets because it is a great excuse for eating cookies for breakfast! (Of course, you must give blood in the morning to use this excuse.)
As for the stretchy bandages, the NY Blood Center has been using them years. No sticky tape to pull the hair off your arms! And the Blood Center folks try to do color coordination to what you are wearing. On holidays, they do festive colors: Red and green for Christmas, orange and black for Halloween, green for St. Patrick's Day, red for Valentine's Day, etc.
