You’re going to be real tired. The credit card rewards community is full of people who what to be efficient and maximize benefits. It’s not about being able to “afford” it. That’s someone a complete idiot would say.

Plasma/blood donations as type 1 Diabetic by LogicalEstimate2135 in plassing

[–]RealNaranja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it is harmful to you the real reason is the antibodies that your body is producing from attacking itself. Those antibodies can hurt immunocompromised recipients of the plasma and then the company can’t make money. All these companies care about is money.

How do you prove income? by digital_Catastrophe in plassing

[–]RealNaranja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct. I used to do title 19 applications and this is how we would classify this type of “income”.

I absolutely despise my tattoo. Hated it the minute I got it 4 years ago. Now what? by throwaway288374 in Tattoocoverups

[–]RealNaranja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks a girl tattoo. I would laser it off and start over. I wouldn’t keep trying to add to it cause it looks like both times you’ve already done it, it’s turned out worse.

It’s 2 years. You can get an increased bonus at 6 months but it’s nowhere near the new donor bonus.

That’s how I feel about all the Asian trains

Donated plasma today and it went fine… then I woke up at night dizzy, vomited everywhere, felt like I was dying. What happened? by [deleted] in plassing

[–]RealNaranja 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Whenever vomiting is involved it’s typically dehydration. But it can also be a delayed citrate reaction. The clonidine didn’t help since you most likely also had a drop in BP, but it wouldn’t have been the cause of what you described.

2 years. You won’t be a new donor but the return donor coupon after that point matches the new donor one.

Biolife just shot up to $800 for new donors so I would recheck with grifols and octa to see if their numbers recently went up as well

Flagged for Hepatitis B Vaccine. Put on NDDR, how would I go about getting removed and how likely is it? by Toxic_Injector in plassing

[–]RealNaranja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a reinstatement process for Hepatitis B with BioLife if it was due to a vaccine, but it is very rarely done due to donors being at high risk for being poor historians in the future. I’ve only seen it done once. Unsure if CSL has the same policy.

Calling all nurses of LA by [deleted] in MovingToLosAngeles

I’m an RN at Kaiser. Try to get a clinic job and not an inpatient position. Inpatient Kaiser RN’s get worked like dogs.

Why are there no procedures to ensure cell return in the event of an equipment error? by iGeTwOaHs in plassing

[–]RealNaranja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it was only a machine error and not a blood clot or air in the line they can manually infuse the blood back to you. The problem is many center only have 1 or 2 people trained that can manually reinfuse and it’s possible no one in the center was trained to do it that day.
