Helping those with TTP

**Blah64** · 03-12-08, 09:51 PM

I passed by a Carter Blood Care bus today, and they were collecting blood for some poor little girl in the Children's Medical Center of Dallas.

This poor girl had a very serious case of TTP.

I felt bad that she was dying of TTP, so I stood up and gave blood.
I think everyone should help out those dying of TTP.

Is TTP killing anyone else?
I'd watch out...
I like TTP, but it hasn't started to kill me yet.

I would donate blood...if they would take my blood.

Apparently because I lived in Germany for more than 6 months (I was there for at least a year back in 91), they will not take my blood. There is supposedly a scare that I might have Mad Cow, so because I might have Mad Cow in my blood they will not take my blood.

I feel worthless sometimes when I see the BloodMobile at school because I can't do something as simple as give blood.

if you had mad cow, wouldn't you know that you had it?

I give blood every time theres a blood drive. It feels like my responsibility almost to help those in need.

I think they fear it might be dormant or something. Even though I might not have it, my blood might be a carrier for it or something. I duno, I've asked and they usually don't go into detail other than, "Nope we can't take you, sorry." Or "Nope, you might have Mad Cow, goodbye."

It's annoying, but they'll take my platleets or plasma or something that is easy to take from my arm in a small tube and looked pretty clear. Well sometimes...guess it depends on where I go.

That may have been a time thing, Keiron. I think they eased that restriction.

I can't give blood, either. I'm borderline for having Von Wilibrons (sp?), a form of hemophelia. I lack a decent amount of clotting agents, so they don't want me.

You can still support the Red Cross in all kinds of other ways. Get your CPR certification, then ask about being an instructor. Warm bodies helping out can be just as useful as warm blood.

/Mom works for the red cross, have to plug it occasionally

Hi.
Two weeks ago, i got a strange error in game. But unfortunately, i do not remember the text of the error. This error occurs after 2 minutes, after joining the game.
I checked the cache of the game, but found no problems. Then i reinstall the game.
Error disappear, but i got another problem.
On any server, any time, i have choke 50+ then mob spawn.
I reinstall Windows, Steam, Game. Try change values like interp, updaterate, cmdrate, rate. My graphics settings are ok.
My ISP said that my network is working properly.

But these choke still appear.
