The registration/check in questions for donating at the Red Cross are pretty interesting.

I know there's valid reasons but it's best to be focused while answering...went from pretty basic 'Have you been out of the country over the last two weeks?' to 'Have you shared a needle with a prostitute at any time recently?' pretty quickly.
My favorite question is "have you ever traded sex for drugs?"

Pro tip: "I wish!" isn't considered a valid response.

I have never heard of this song but that's terrific.

First recorded version was the same month/year I was born, so pretty ******* old. Maria's version is the gold standard though. Took CWW#1 to see her at The Cabooze here in Mpls, maybe 1978. We were late and place was packed. Think the doorman thought CWW#1 was good looking or something because he escorted us to an open two seat table up front in a standing room only venue. Best show seats ever. Still can't figure out the why of that but loved it.

I bet. That sounds terrific. The Cabooze was so much fun. Maybe it still is. I haven't been by those places in at least a decade.

Midnight at the Oasis was the only song of hers I had ever heard until your last post

Not exactly sure.
At a Junior High game yester day where there were three technicals, punches thrown, blood flowing, and other crazy stuff. Refs were there to pull a check and honestly didn't care what happened as long as they didn't have to call something. Saw a kid get lucky he fumbled the ball because a kid was throwing a haymaker at head height as he ducked down.

So, it's really "what you know about who you know, and they know it."

What? Saving a fellow human's life isn't thanks enough? ;)

I really want the Lorna Doone cookies, but they stopped offering them years ago. Now I need to be content with Rice Krispie treats. Oh, and a Smart Pops bag for the road.

Smart pops? We are getting hosed…..

I give/gave blood anyhow, but I do love them checking the AB levels.

I'm not sure about plasma but I used to give blood at the hospital here in town directly, not sure if covid has changed things up or if it actually prevents some corporation from cashing in on my blood but it felt like going straight to the source.

Son made some good chunks of change the last year selling plasma. Said some was as high as 150 a pop and they would do it weekly or may have even been Monday and Friday so 2x/week.
