   Ah, I did miss that one! But anyway, a blood drive at an events center (like the Fuse supposedly is) would be nice. A normal one, I mean, without the circus! lol (And seeing as blood drives are usually done in the morning, whereas drinking happens at night, I don’t see a conflict – it is NOT a blood drive at a bar).

   What expenses? It’s a blood drive, my workplace does it every few months. You provide a suitable space, the nurses come get the blood. If anything, the Fuse would probably earn money, since people coming to donate would likely come with someone, and those someones would grab something to eat/drink while they wait. But the only possible expense I could imagine, would be to rent a couple of beds (assuming the hospital getting the blood doesn’t provide these).

   Oh shut up Bernice! This whole story started because Luann was shaken by Mrs H’s kidney failure, and she had actually gone online and read about the whole thing, and what kidney donation entails. Then Phil came up, told her Mrs H. would never get a kidney from her, and started all the discussion about “hey, since you’d consider losing an organ to save Mrs H’s life, we could also get your kidney and send it into the unknown”. Then when he freaked her out, he suggested blood donation. He did not start this, he merely re-directed.

   AND he also basically told Luann that she can’t save Mrs H., so the idea of easily saving other people must be extremely comforting to her right now, even if she hasn’t realized this yet.

   No Phil, she’s not “tricky to talk to” – you’ve creeped her up to crazy levels. “May not be right for you”? As if this is a casual donation one makes? Why not an eye or something then – won’t have life-risking complications later in life by being blind in one eye. This is such a weird conversation…

   “I’m sure she’ll tell you to give your kidney to someone else”… no, I’m sure she’ll tell her to keep her kidney right where it is, and not take life-altering decisions driven from emotion. Slippery slope there, “Phil”. Going from “I desperately want to help Mrs H.” to “free kidney for donation, let’s find the best candidate!”

   @Uncle Kenny Read the previous strips – he put the gloves on because he described all the dirty chores he does as part of his job, right before he extended his hand for a handshake.

   I seem to recall moments along the lines of Luann being described as “She’s amazing with stage setting” and the parental response being “And yet she can’t tidy up her room” – either this exact example, or situations similar to that. Nancy is probably only reacting this way because she is talking to Mrs H. herself. Had this been Luann telling them Mrs H. called her that, her reaction would probably be completely different – and even worse if Frank was around.

   “You look surprised” – “I am beyond surprised – and also relieved”. You read her reaction just fine, I’d say. And it’s not like they ever comment about Luann in a good way, so I don’t know why you are surprised. As for Phil, I think that was a joke Luann made and Mrs H responded in kind – though I wouldn’t put it past Mrs H. to try to get them to meet.

    For me, it depends on how long I’m trying to nap for; sleep has cycles of deep sleep-light sleep. Wake up during deep sleep, I feel dead. Wake up during light sleep, I feel rested. Which means I’ll feel refreshed if I sleep 55 minutes, but dead if I sleep 90. Took a couple of decades to discover that though :P
