COLD DARK ROOM

[Gillian M]

Hello Adam! How are you sir?

Hi hope you are well.

Are we all to say "SIR" to Adam @Tidgy's Dad ?

 

[Gillian M]

I'm fantastic, just got home from donating some blood, feeling very refreshed

Well done!

I do it ask part of growing up a military kid and then I also was a military man. I was taught that's a sign of respect and I definitely respect Sir Adam

 

[cmacusa3]

A good thing to do.
I used to give blood, but they won't take mine here, now, cos I had TB, even though it's cured.

I've done it for years, I also have high iron in my blood so it helps control my numbers.

My husband and his dad do the same.
Never knew about not being able to donate blood after TB.
What about latent TB? I have that (as most kids from poorer countries do). It doesn't affect anyone but makes it more likely for me to get TB under certain circumstances.

It's optional, ma'am.

Ahem.
Despite repeated pleas, threats and bribes Queen Liz has yet to give me a Knighthood.
Maybe this year.

I for one am nicknamed "The MILITARY woman."

I think they're just very cautious here, not sure about other countries or latent TB.

Yessir!

They would probably let you and then they run tests on it. Here it's a long process of questions before you can donate. Then they take samples and test all of them before the actual donation is used.

Yep. I have the same feeling. They are too cautious in this region.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Off to buy milk for my coffee, light bulbs for, erm, the lights and biscuits for wifey.
Zac's chatting to wifey 'bout the holiday, so I won't be missed, he's going through all the photos and souvenirs with her.
Back in a bit.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Better safe than sorry.

 

[Kristoff]

Back to Kristoff's diet: I spotted two early dandelions today in a neighbor's garden! I'll go over to say hello tomorrow. And pray that K will eat

I think it's good to be cautious. Last year they wouldn't take mine because I had been in Florida when the Zika Virus had been reported there.

 

[Kristoff]

I'm off to bed: an early raid on the neighbor's garden tomorrow.

Good night, roommates - whenever that might be in your time zone.

 

[JoesMum]

Living up to expectations. Part 2 shortly

Nothing for me, nothing for OLI, Adam?

Good luck, am hoping for some here, soon.
