HUH??? I give blood every 2 months, I am an asthmatic, but they never object to my giving blood. Are you on steroids? Taking steroids might be a problem since people getting blood tend to be debilitated and don't need the additional immunosuppression.

I don't use steroids, no. I'm just saying what the nurse told me when I tried to give blood, oh so many years ago. If it's true that I can give blood, great. I always felt bad I couldn't. Back then I wasn't even using abuterol, just theopholin and Primetine.

There is no reason why an asthmatic can't donate blood. The amount removed isn't enough to impair your blood's ability to carry Oxygen, so it can't hurt the donor. Since most blood is used to make packed red blood cells there isn't enough antibody in the blood product to affect the recipient, the globulin containing plasma is centrifuged off in the making of pRBCs.

I generally have been perusing this forum with the "PM" function turned off. In this case I've turned it on. Che: send your address to my "PM" and I'll send you some money.

Oops! I didn't see your reply to Groucho, so I won't expect you to contact me.

[chequita guevara]

Ah, well, I sent it. Never mind then. Thanks for your offer though.

Che, I'd spot ya if it weren't for the fact that I recieved a letter from Texas A&M Student Financial Services today informing me that if I do not pay them now, a Intergalactic Bounty Hunter would be sent to chop off my left testicle.

Well, not in so many words, but you get the idea.

[chequita guevara]

Thanks for the kind thoughts, Lonestar.

For me, I have to be really careful. If I make too much money with a job, I'll lose the unemployment but take home less because of taxes.

god forbid you have a real job and work your way off unemployment

seriously though, are you incapable of holding a job? anything medical or the like?

tough suitation though. i'd float you some money but i'm in college, and you probably know how that goes... scrounging money for pizza and stuff.

[Goingonit]

Glad you're able to pay the rent, at least for now. and I hope your situation improves.

It gets better and then it gets worse. From 1988 to 1997 my income more than doubled and now I am making what I made in 1988 again.

I am writing a first novel which I am beginning to truely expect to finish. Odds on publication for first time novelists are something like 100,000 to 1 and if published first novels normally make about 8k.

Ack.

So I got your message. We'll be expecting a blood payment from you forthwith.

have you considered going to local area small businesses giving them a pitch, drafting up some nice web pages for them, and charging low prices? Host it for them on a basic server, use most of the $ to pay the bills, invest a little of it in getting better equipment or advertising, and working your way up?

Good luck with that. Maybe the SMEs over there in the States are more generous with advertising money. Here, a friend of mine tried that and didn't get anywhere.

[Granted, his own website sucks, looking like a 5-year old did it in a couple of hours with FrontPage ]

like I said, we made over $5,000 doing this in one summer...people have money to burn in the states...it's sick!

You know, I once donated a few bucks to help some Filipino girl build a house... one would think I could do the same to people I've met and dined with. PM me the info, Che.

[chequita guevara]

I feel like George Bailey.

I wish people were just as sick here
