This is fascinating. I am the only member of my family going back generations to have ever shown signs and been diagnosed with the disease.
I pray that your symptoms resolve and that you can continue life with no lesions. I agree that it is a weird disease, and it unfortunately makes it...
This is a really good article by the Wall Street Journal.
You are correct Dnae, that if the pan is well seasoned it will transfer less iron to the food. It also depends on the cooking time and what kind of food it is. Even in a well seasoned pan there can be a transfer of iron molecules into...
Thanks Arie :hug
I was just curious. As I said, I have no personal knowledge as to what it takes to create an app, but I imagine they are not a simple thing.
Since this thread is already talking about mobile stuff... Are we ever going to get an app? It would make my life easier, but I have no idea what would be involved with making one. So, I'm just curious. :cheese
Actually there have only been 3 donations so far in March.
Just a little confusion on reading the spreadsheet. ;)
Also, because we were late in getting the form updated for this year, we only show the 3 donations total for 2018. If you donated prior to March, please fill out a form for the...
That seems silly that they wouldn't have even tried!
I am very glad you were able to donate, and that it went well! :joy
Donating all year is so important, and I am so proud to be part of the Blood Drive here at TarValon.net. Even if I am one of those who is unable to donate. :(
Anyone who has already donated this year can enter their information into the form retroactively. We still want to count your donations from January 1st until now!
I am sorry it took us a while to get an updated drive going for 2018. :$
With all the disasters plaguing the world right now there is a major shortage of blood. We need everyone, who can, to donate if possible. The shortages come after a massive bout of natural disasters. Hurricanes and earthquakes have ravaged the southern states, Mexico, and central America...
I go through blood draws and IV's all the time because of my MS. One thing I learned, and I imagine it is the same with giving blood, is to remember to breath. Breathing is so important when the needle goes in, and when the line comes back out. Many people hold their breath during these two...
Unfortunately it's difficult for us to do a contest of that sort. Many areas have different restrictions on how often a person can donate. There are times when people get turned away because their iron is low, or other extenuating circumstances. The fairness of a contest like that would be...
I apologize for the delay in getting back to you Dnae. Yes, I do have your Feb. 14th donation ^^
As we stand so far we have:
7 pints donated from 4 countries.
We are almost half way through the year and only 7 pints. I know you are all doing your best. We need some brilliant way to get...
What is going to be our goal for this year?
The stats of our blood drives are as follows:
2014 - 42 pints donated
2015 - 32 pints donated
2016 - 16 pints donated D:
2017 - ?
We are trending downward, and that means less lives saved. :(
I bet we could get to 30 pints again this year. What...
We will get a new drive going again soon! Things are just sort of busy at the moment, but keep track of your donations and as soon as the new drive is up be sure to register them! Thanks for your patients everyone! :hug
First allow me to apologize for having been MIA for so long. I am back now, and with me is an update on how we did this year for donations so far...
In 2016 we have donated 16 pints of blood from 3 different countries. There is still time to get a few more donations before Dec. 31st, so if you...
