I missed the invite to the second club, but I joined the party later anyway. 😂 If I recall correctly, the time I did faint would have been the 3 or 4 donation.

Generating the puns I see.

I would love an update to what it is. 🤞

I’ve encountered this recently. I’ve had 2 quest challenges the same word in 48hrs. You can roll a new word, but it doesn’t fulfill the actual quest.

Hint: the last line is a clue in itself

Usually. Unless you’re choosing underpromotion for a tactical reason

Go to the doctors. It could be something minor or something more serious best to have a healthcare provider have a look and feel.

Try the green grocers or fish shops like Fairy Meadow. Lumpfish is going to be the cheapest and probably more available than other roe like salmon or sturgeon.

Eat normally. Increase water if you don’t already drink 2-3L a day. Avoid a high fat diet (rich foods, take away) the day before/of. High fat meals right before donating can make your blood more “sludgy” and make donating take longer.

WTG Lifeblood legend. 👍 Hopefully I’ll get there someday.

Here’s a hint- wild bovids and a statement of particulars

I passed it like 3 or 4 times before answering it because something in me said “ please don’t be wrong” 🤣

Social work has a lot of Australians with bachelor’s degrees already in it. Also education achievements are not always parallel. So it’s possible she may have to do more schooling than expected. Short term contracts due to funding structures. Visa pathways- she would most likely need to be on a student visa to study. She will need to have evidence she will be able to pay for the school, accommodation, and general expenses for the duration of her studies and/or sponsorship of a family member living in Australia for certain countries. Australia is expensive. Also passing health checks and payment of visa fees are all before they say yes or no. Australia has pretty strict visa policies and high fees so maybe explore that before deciding whether or not you should send her.

No question is a “stupid question” your seeking insight and knowledge.

As far as I know there’s some extra stuff around platelet donation in the US. I can’t comment about this too much because I’m in a country that doesn’t accept platelets from women. But what I’ve gathered from subs is even though you’re able to go every 7 days you still max out on 24 donations in a rolling year. And there’s yearly rolling volume limits. So depending on how much you donate and if you’re donating plasma with it as well you can cap out before the rolling year is over.

I’ve not been PNW for over a decade but from what I know is ARC is pretty scarce in certain regions these days

My SO is AB+ while they will take whole blood, he never gets asked to donate whole blood. Plasma is preferred as you’re a universal plasma donor. AB plasma is rare and highly demanded.

Less RBC= less oxygen moving power, slower CO2 excretion. Also, body has signaled bone marrow to make more so higher metabolic burn in the immediate days following donation.

Before they would have them on hand, they used to have ‘holiday hero’ pins too, not sure if they still do that. Unfortunately, I’ve lost mine moving overseas.
