Four times a year

would be how often I give blood. I know it is a good thing and I should do it more often. After all, we are eligible every 56 days or something. But the Red Cross comes to my workplace once a quarter and that is when I'm willing to give blood. Now if they would come more often . . . I'd give more often. They also come to my church four times a year and I'd be willing to give there as well, except for the fact that they come the same month and I'm not eligible. I think the Red Cross must only go out into the field in January, April, July, and October. At least in Nashville. Because all over town, at churches and other public buildings, the signs are up - Red Cross Blood Drive, Please donate. Somehow that doesn't seem the most efficient to me. But I'm not in charge of that. Anyway, I donated today and I feel good about that. And the best part of donating would be the Little Debbie oatmeal snack cookie I got to eat after it was over. Yum I do like those. Anyway, for those of you willing to give a little this time of year . . . why not give some blood?
