#2My friend Regan Gill once worked for the Seattle blood bank. She said business was always hopping after the bars closed, espcially on friday and saturday nights.
On time a bag of blood broke open while she was carrying a case of blood down a long hallway. It looked just like she'd dragged a stiff down the hall.

#3What a genius idea to raise awareness. This seems like a no-brainer for blood banks, hospitals, public health and so on.

Many places already do that... counting the number of times a person has donated (not actually used) and giving them some status accordingly.

#8Life hacks. On a date in Sweden? Arrange your buddy to send you a text message saying you just saved someone's life. Watch jealousy turn to desire when you get a text message (another girl??), and say, "Oh - I just saved someone's life. See?"
I'm just kidding. My real point is that a mailed letter (or email) sounds more appropriate than a text message. But then again maybe not!

it doesn't really matter, does it? I wouldn't ask here, it's not everyone's business.
(not that it implies anything specific, it's just not really strangers' business - OP has detailed profile info up. I would ask in private if you really want to know.)

In different countries, there are various reasons, some better than others. Chronic illnesses like hepatitis, having had gay sex, having lived in Britain in 1980's. These contribute some risk to donating blood.
