Thanks for this post, I wouldn't even know where to come up with the idea to donate platelets! Where do you go to do it? Is it a hospital? Or a special blood place? Highlight of my weekend was having a free day Sunday to do what I wanted at my own pace. Sounds lame, but so rare to come by!]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You brave girl!
