Some people

The past two days have been really interesting in our home.

Basically we took in a stray that we felt sorry for because of her situation, and now we see how her situation was mostly her fault, she treats people horribly and doesn’t even care. She thinks that the way she treats people is justified because she served in the military.

Call me crazy but last time I checked just because you were in the military doesn’t give you the right to be an asshole to everyone you interact with.

Donating Plasma or not…

Today I went to make the plasma donation, however; I was unable to make the donation due to the pulmonary embolism I had, with the way the donation process works, by placing the red cells back in my body it increases my changes of having another blood clot.

It sucks, but what sucks more is that they don’t allow gay men to give plasma. As I was there and going over all the paper work and such one of the big things that they kept asking people about is for women if they have slept with a man who has slept with another man at any time and for men asking them if they have done anything sexual with another man.

I understand people who have AIDS not being able to give, what I don’t understand is why someone who is gay, and not even a gay woman just gay men, not being able to give.  Not to mention if you’d have an STD man or woman, as long as you wait a year after the STD is cured you can give, but because a man is gay he isn’t allowed to make a donation.

They do blood tests before taking the donation, and if the blood is not usable because you had an STD of or some other issue that you weren’t aware of they tell you and tell you can’t give for a while.

But if a man has had sex with a man at any time after 1980 they aren’t allowed to make a donation of blood or plasma, it’s disgusting that they are treating gay healthy men, worse than men that sleep around and have had several STD’s.

I feel bad for not being able to give because that could save someones life, but at the same time I am relieved to not be making a donation to a bunch of bigots.

Seven Days.

I decided to give something a shot, I am having financial issues as I’ve said, and I am wanting to get back into shape. I don’t recommend anyone to try this method without seeing a physician first and getting the okay. The Liquid Diet can be a safe and effective weight to cleanse your body and lose weight, HOWEVER the way I am performing the liquid diet is not an ideal way to do it.  I cannot afford to buy vitamins to supplement what I am losing from the lack of foods, and i am definitely not getting enough calories from the liquids I am using.  Basically I am pushing anorexia which is not safe at all.
