<DIV>I think it is great that people donate blood. But let us keep in mind that in most cases, 95% or greater, that it is only the plasma in the blood that will be used and the rest thrown away. You can donate plasma two times a week You can only donate blood once every sixty days. So think about giving plasma instead of blood if your heart is into doing this more than once. Moscow has a wonderful new plasma donation center next to the Daily News. I ask that you check it out first. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Best,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Donovan<BR><BR><B><I>Stephanie Kalasz <skalasz@ci.moscow.id.us></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content="Microsoft Word 11 (filtered medium)" name=Generator><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:SmartTagType name="place"
