I can sympathize with Bernice here. My daughter wants to donate blood, but constantly bounces above and below the 110 pound minimum here, and tries to eat just a little bit more so she can be firmly above. When I spoke to some of my phlebotomists (I’m a frequent platelet donor), they said to be on the safe side, she should be a few pounds above, not just right on the line. Looks like she’ll be doing her first donation during the winter break.
I remember having this problem with my daughters. Now when I come home, I sometimes get a wave or a grunt of acknowledgement. Think I’d prefer the headbutt hellos.
Just about every male I’ve known who retired from the military immediately started with a beard. They didn’t all keep them, but they at least grew them for a while.
