Had lunch with 3 other OC members today and we discussed carpooling up there to show our support. How's the turnout looking up your way?

Dumb question: What about LifeSouth? Have you tried them?

How is that a dumb question? I've never heard of LifeSouth. I will call them first thing in the morning though.

F.Y.I. I asked for advise. I wasn't asking for attitude or derogatory comments. Please refrain from such comments when all I asked for was help. Thank you.

Do you have permission from the ARC Chapter to be armed?

An advocate of legally armed citizens with your thin skin is problematic.
Either we are equal or we are not. Good people ought to be armed where they will, with wits and guns and the truth. NRA KMA$$ damn the Obamanation and its thugs like ARC.

If the bolded part was directed at me, I am sorry for any misunderstanding. I was seriously trying to assist you. The "dumb question" part was meant to imply such on my part as old men are known to ask about things that are obvious to others.

Unfortunately, I cannot give blood due to extended stays in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Something about angry cows?
I kinda figgered you two would work it out. I didn't think any offense was intended. You both seem like nice guys. Sometimes you can't quite get across with typing what you can face-to-face.

I, too, am consistently rejected by the RC because of having lived in Europe. (I wonder what Europeans do for blood?) The last time I tried to give to LifeSouth, they cheerfully put me a pint low.

If I can make it to the drive, I will show up, whether or not they find my blood tasty enough. Showing support is sometimes all you can do.

BTW, will they let you carry on the bus? After all, in the event of ND, they will be amply prepared to help!

If you cannot donate, you can come out and show your support? If you do, can you bring a friend or family member to donate? We need at least 100 people to donate. We only have 4 days until the event.

Unless something unforeseen happens I am coming up. I will be going thru Troy, 231 north to Montgomery, then Hwy 65 to Hoover. If anyone wants to meet me in Troy or along this route to carpool with me let me know asap. I can fit 4 Adults besides myself.

Can you post the flyer on here so I can print out a few to show around and try to drum up a little more support from the Wiregrass area? We really appreciate what you are doing.

Suggestion for a flyer:

The words "You can give blood. Or, you can give blood" have a picture under each sentence. Under the first is a pic of a guy giving blood. Under the other is the view down the barrel of a particularly ominous gun.
