Nope! I grew up overseas and they finally eased those restrictions a couple of years ago.

I can't vouch for the Red Cross specifically, but the blood bank I work for has no issues with it anymore.

Phlebotomist here! Our organisation does ask these questions, but it works more like a flow chart; essentially what we're trying to rule out is if you've had anal sex with a new partner in the last 3 months, just because of the inherent risks there.

Condom use, while ideal on a personal level, is kind of a moot point where donating is concerned just because there's no way for us to know that it was worn correctly, that nothing went away with it, etc.

If he's getting paid for the plasma then it's being used for research, not for donations, so they'll still take it either way.

It's giving "Vampire: the Masquerade" clan novel cover. I love the vibe! Gritty and modern and dangerous.

Weird way to spell "Serial rapist and sex-trafficking dickhead."

He won't, ultimately.

Edit: By which I mean because that's all he really is at the end of the day. Realised belatedly that my comment could be interpreted rather differently.

Because they're depicting adult women and that's how some adult women are shaped?

Taking my mom to her treatment centre here in an hour or so; I hope yours is even half as kind and caring as hers has been.

I've been loving it every time it happens.

Just got rid of my fancy younger washer after spending $240 on repairs for the second time only to have it fail again.

Went and pulled my ancient Whirlpool direct drive out of storage, spent $15 on the replacement clutch and coupler it needed and threw them in there.

Thing turns 30 years old this year and it's going like a champ.

Came here looking for this and found it right at the top, where it belongs.

Shiny.
