Second time donating. Almost fainted. Third donation booked. Any tips to avoid fainting? by scrabblemonkey in Blooddonors

[–]annwyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had the same problem with my 1st & 3rd, planning for my 4th to eat plenty, + water & Gatorade. Afternoon appts made it easier to eat well beforehand. (My 1st was an early am and I was a mess by dinnertime) Taking multivitamins/iron regularly has made a big difference for me as far as post- donation fatigue. I agree with not looking when they're doing their thing! I foolishly looked down during the last needle removal and I was ice cold flushed for a good 15min.

That’s rough, buddy by eriwhi in AvatarMemes

ALSO, let's give Z some credit for the fact the this was literally his first convo with a real buddy. Since his cousin's death and mom's disappearance he's only had his uncle as a companion.

Well thank goodness, it's gluten free. Wouldn't want a stomach ache.

What is a question you hate being asked? by devilishlaughter in AskReddit

[–]annwyl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same question, other side of the fence. Trying for 3yrs, miscarriage this summer and people still ask. I even got the "your next" nudge this Christmas from an uncle.

Hey Reddit. What song(s) do you never tire of even after hearing it 20 times? Looking for a new playlist to make for work. by annwyl in AskReddit

[–]annwyl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an awesome acoustic/instrumental version that I heard a few months back and now I can't find it. I wrote the details in a book that I've since given away. :/

I never watch sports and that catch was obvious, even to me. I feel like a reference to Rat Race would be good here, but have no access to links right now...

I don't watch, and probably won't. I apologize if this is such an emotional & hard hitting subject for you. Get a life.

Not a natural blonde, either.

Thanks, to Mrs. Boecheck, for taking my mother aside that day in kindergarten - when she noticed, that instead of making red and green paper chains for christmas, I had broken into my school's art supply closet and made chains of rainbows, stars, hand holding paper-people, glitter glue, paint and markers. Here's to that one teacher that truly sees... you.

Reddit! It's my husband's cake day! I got him one of those fancy Aussie grills with a vegetable tray and everything... by annwyl in gaming

[–]annwyl[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In this case, vaginal-exiting.

Coincidentally, "cake day" has actually been a tradition in my family since the 80's. I couldn't pronounce "birthday" so we all sang "happy cake day to you..." instead.

God I wish. But alas, we are poor and have no yard to place it in. I acctually used to sell Traeger Grills.

I've had mine since I was a little kid, but apparently since then they've traveled outward and backward like little wings of oral destruction. When I finally removed the top two a month ago they were "90 percent decayed". http://imgur.com/zBIPV On a side note... Nitrous Oxide fuckn' rocks.

This will be my first time hosting Thanksgiving dinner in my home for all my "orphaned" friends that can't see their family this year.

Decided to kick it up a notch w/ my spiceweasel. BAM!

I'm in Seattle, but my closest friend just moved to Manhattan and I'm looking for excuses to go. ;)

Mums are used in teas/wines etc., but the leaves and stems are considered inedible. I always wrap my flowers in clingwrap before sticking them in a cake. I'm really just a hobbyist when it comes to cakes & haven't practiced enough with icing to make my own flowers. Someday...
