    Do you donate blood?

    If so, why? If not, why? How many times have you donated? What's your blood type?

    Etc...

    I have donated blood once.

    I wanted the frog.

    I only got a stupid elephant.

    If I have an injection the mark stays for ages, an injections can cause moles too, so there is no way I'm giving them my blood. I don't know what my blood type is.

    I want to donate blood but I haven't been able to yet. The first time I was able to I couldn't because I had recently had a tattoo done.

    I want to though!

    I tried to donate blood amonth or so ago and almost fainted when they pricked my finger for the blood test.

    Not even kidding, it made me so sad.

    I haven't in a while because of scheduling conflicts, but I do donate blood. I can't remember how much I've donated so far, but it's not nearly a gallon. I am O+, which is the most common blood time in the US, and parts of Europe. I donate so people don't die.

    EDIT: Moles are caused by concentrated pockets of pigmentation and sunlight. Not marks. You can have dark scars because of shots, though.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    i'm sorry...but i laughed pretty hard at that

    also, i give blood usually once a month but since i've moved to the city i haven't bothered yet. i hear in some places they PAY you for blood!

    WTF is that?!?!

    i'm o-neg.....i like to think of it as 'unleaded' :P

    i give blood cause my body makes so much if i keep giving it. it's really quite impressive....also i'm quite a large human being so it doesn't take a lot out of me to lose a pint.

    I've always wanted to give blood, and even though it sounds quite scary - I've had piercings and a tattoo so it can't be that bad, can it?

    I know I will give blood because it'd make me really happy to think that I could save somebodys life just by giving my blood!

    I'm O+.

    Injections can effect pigmentation in that area, because moles are formed by pigment cell clusters, an injections can cause the pigment cells to cluster in that area.

    It's ok, I find it amusing that you think it's something to laugh at.

    I would gladly donate blood... if there was a way to do it that didn't involve needles. I hate needles.

    even if that were the case, they generally take blood from one part of your body and if i could save a life every time i gave blood and got a new mole somewhere on my body, i'd gladly be covered in them head to toe by now.

    Moles are a little more than pigmentation! Perhaps you're thinking of freckles.

    Moles get big and hairy and might be cancerous. E.G. the one the size of a nickel my mom had removed when she was 5.

    There are different types of moles.
