“I might be mad enough to host. I was talking about this last night. I want a big old fashioned keg of Rheingold out on the deck.”

That would be awesome DIBS, I’d be happy to help with the snacks!

Yesterday I got in trouble cuz I didn’t know only gay guys drank pina coladas!

Today the gay guys don’t know they’re not supposed to donate blood.

“And don’t they screen the blood anyway??? ”

Snappy they do but I believe there’s an incubation period of some kind where blood can be infectious but it can’t be picked up in screening. That’s why if you have an incident, like pricking yourself with a needle, or are the victim of a sex attack, or find that you have had unprotected sex with a poz person, you need to be tested a number of times over a period of at least a year.

I remember a story from the early days of AIDS… there was an organized crime figure who was going in for a pre-planned operation in which he needed a transfusion. He was too smart to get blood from the normal pool, might be contaminated! So he enlisted his ‘safe’ relatives to get transfusions and store the blood. You, one of them was infected and hey both died.

Hey DIBS, remember Daxor? They were going to make a fortune storing people’s blood over time so they wouldn’t have to get it from outside. That was the only stock I ever owned that tripled in a week!

We should have PLUSA movie night! Who’s got a place big enough to fit us all? Or better put…who would be mad enough to host us?!!
