and the Red Cross sent me this pretty credit card to put in my wallet with "B Positive" on it.
That's the only way I know.

Good for you and mine is O neg. also. I don't give any more after giving 10 gallons. You can tell why they always call people that have O neg. blood because so many people don't know or care what type blood they have.

Have you reach the 5 gallon mark yet? The blood connection gives you a trinket that goes on your key ring or they use to.

Me either. When I was younger and gave blood then you could get a easy buzz from just a few drinks after. Don't drink any more. I do miss bourbon and Gin. I drank it with a little ice and water. I would drink beer mostly a lager. When I use to go to Pa. Yuengling was the only beer on tap. It took awhile but it make its was down south. I first saw it in Myrtle Beach then the next thing you knew it was everywhere.

I would guess my blood type is classic marinara, the kind with no chunky vegetables in it.
But other than that, I think I'm O-positive.

What kind of cynical logic leap is that?
Nov 13, 2020, 10:10 AM

Of course I have. What does that have to do with not being able to remember it?
I'd say automatically assuming the worst about everyone is a worse character flaw than not donating blood.

Then if you have given blood many times and don't know your blood type you might be a Dumas or its time to put down the pipe.

It just might come in handy when you have a wreck or time you may need blood. Just tell them to put in any kind it want matter. I sure that will work or they will have to use O -.
