BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD

Hey, X, Pardon the Bloody Header. Thought it might get the attention of skimmers, like myself.

I just wanted to remind those who gave blood right after 9/11 that the required eight weeks are up now. Let's keep on giving. I hope there won't be a next incident, but...

From the ARC site:

Many generous Americans nationwide have been donating blood since the terrorist attacks September 11 to ensure a sustained and secure blood supply for all Americans. Together with the Red Cross, these blood heroes are ensuring that the safest possible blood is readily available whenever and wherever needed - for the military, for other blood centers in America and for all 5,000 of America's hospitals.

We all expect blood to be there for us, but barely a fraction of those who can give do. Yet sooner or later, virtually all of us will face a time of great vulnerability in which we will need blood. And that time is all too often unexpected. From its beginning, the American Red Cross has formed a community of service, of generous, strong and decent people bound by beliefs beyond themselves. The honor, spirit and resources of the American people comes forth with neighbors helping neighbors in need - during earthquakes, floods, fires, storms - and also for the deeply personal and often quiet disasters that require a gift of blood.

No, a precaution.

Words involving pain and suffering I'd have to look up. For some reason I specialise in a different field.
