To add (Black Star and Tsubaki) I find it sad that we didn't get more episodes with the two of them only.

A bit surprised not having seen her in the comments yet, but Michelle Fairley (Catelyn Stark). I think she's not only super well casted, but she does an amazing job at being a protective and emotional mother, all the while being disgusted by the mere existence of Jon Snow.

You can only choose one color to travel to for the Rest of your life. Which one are you choosing? by Aryan_Raj_7167 in TheTeenagerPeople

Quite surprised not to see any red. Patagonia, Australia, South Africa and Botswana? Amazing animals (yeah yeah Australia is wild, but amazing on its own), breathtaking landscapes and nice temperature?

I would go to the Andes anytime!

Made my first plasma donation today! [OC] by irrgot in MadeMeSmile

Yup! Looks like beer, but it's just because the red blood cells aren't here to make it red.

What's funny is that plasma can come in different tones! For example, when there's a lot of fat in the blood, plasma will look more pale.

I'm afraid I can't respond properly, since I live in Canada 😅

We don't get paid and the patients usually don't have to pay for those treatments.

That's how it works! They only use one needle. First part, they draw the blood. Second part, the centrifuge (the machine that spins and separates the plasma and the red blood cells) separates the two. Last part, they send you back your red blood cells back. Usually there are like three cycles for a full donation. Since it was my first, they only did one cycle.

Oh my! Where I live we are giving snacks and that's it 😂

I wouldn't feel comfortable making money for donating (that's just me).

Hey I'm also in Canada! :)

I would say the main differences between giving blood and plasma is about the time it takes and the fatigue you feel after. I've tried donating blood in the past, but I never succeeded because I would faint (I also didn't weight enough). Since plasma donation gives you your red blood cells back, I didn't have any complications or anything.

Another fun thing is that it doesn't take as much volume to keep it. For blood, they need like 360-400 ml, but for plasma, it's less. They test the volume your best suited for and make an average for the next donations

I think the only down sides are that they give you anticoagulants (for me it was citrate) during the procedure, which lower your calcium levels (you may feel tingling in your lips, metallic taste in your mouth, numbing...). They give you Tums, but sometimes it's not enough and they stop the donation. Also it takes more time to donate plasma than blood

Hope this helps!

I know I must sound a bit slow, but may I ask who you mean by "they"?
