the black list

Dear sisters-in-law,
Today Brian tried to give blood but was prevented from doing so because he is married to someone who was in Nigeria before 1985. You are both in the same boat as Brian, I'm afraid, so you get to join D,P, and I on the blood donation 'black list' for the forseeable future. Bummer, huh?

I always felt like I should give blood and did so a few times in high school and college but I really hate doing it. I think I have a type they are always looking for...so when I found out a couple of years ago that due to David I was in the clear, I was quite relieved.

I always felt like I should give blood too... but must admit that I never did. Needles aren't really my friends. So now I have an excuse I guess.

I wonder if my trip to Kenya would have excluded me for any period of time?
