Snerffle is a go!

I'm thinking a St. Patrick's Day start. But if you want to get bonus points before then, keep a lookout for opportunities in everyday posts (and, of course, you can suggest rounds and challenges, or just say something funny or interesting... lots of ways to get extra points!).

For example, this one:

I went and donated blood today, but almost couldn't. And the reason was one I'd not heard before. Why was I almost rejected as a blood donor?

Answer will be posted this evening tomorrow morning (can't be unfair to my Australian peeps).

I get rejected all the time! In fact, I've never successfully donated blood. I think I must be a high-risk person with all my sexual activity. Maybe if I go in there soon and say, "I've been celibate for 5 yrs, then they'll take me?"

Or I tell them I have fainting issues, VasoVagal syndrome. That also rules me out too. Oh I may pass out?

And when I was lighter, then I never passed the minimum weight requirements (that's been a while though).

I've been monogomous for almost 15 years, so that's not it. I'm also a model blood donor - no fainting or bruising or anything. This was really weird... In fact, I can't even find where it says anything about it on their web site!
