Bad Boys - Part IV

To qualify as a blood donor in the United States, one must be of legal age, weigh at least 121 pounds, and be in generally good health. It is essential that the donation process does not compromise the donor's wellbeing, nor should the donated blood pose any risk to the recipient. Individuals suffering from
severe chronic conditions—specifically those involving the respiratory or digestive systems, cardiovascular issues, malignant diseases, liver disease, or HIV/AIDS—are ineligible. Furthermore, anyone managing diabetes through insulin, those dealing with neurological or mental health disorders, or individuals engaging in high-risk behaviors, including alcohol or drug dependency, cannot donate.
There are also temporary restrictions for those recovering from minor acute illnesses (such as a common cold or sudden gastrointestinal distress), individuals with low iron levels, or those who have recently undergone surgery, received a transfusion, had certain vaccinations, or obtained new tattoos or piercings. Use of antibiotics or other specific medications, as well as pregnancy and breastfeeding, also necessitates a waiting period.
The standard waiting periods are as follows:
- Following antibiotic use – 15 days after the final dose
- Dental extractions – 3 days after the procedure
- Surgical procedures – 6 months following the operation
- Blood or blood product transfusions – 12 months after receiving them
- Pregnancy and childbirth – 12 months postpartum
- Breastfeeding – 6 months after stopping
- Inactivated vaccines – 2 days after vaccination
- Live vaccines – 3 weeks after vaccination
- Tattoos, ear piercings, etc. – 6 months after the procedure

Since medical staff will be on strike the day before, we’re really hoping everyone who can make it shows up to help out. Please spread the word to your friends, family, coworkers—anyone you know—and try to encourage them to join us. A single donation could truly help someone recover or even save a life. Don't just sit there being lazy; take a few minutes to reach out and talk some people into doing this good deed. See you there.

I guess minors can do it too?

major chronic issues—respiratory, digestive, heart, cancer, liver disease, AIDS, insulin-dependent diabetes, mental health struggles, or anyone living high-risk lifestyles like alcohol or drug addiction—are out.
Temporary bans apply to minor stuff too, like having a cold, stomach bugs, low iron, recent surgeries, previous transfusions, certain vaccines, new tattoos, acupuncture, piercings, or taking antibiotics. Pregnant or nursing women are also off the list.
The waiting periods look like this:
- antibiotics – 15 days after your last dose
- tooth extraction – 3 days after
- surgery – 6 months after the procedure
- receiving blood or blood products – 12 months later
- pregnancy and childbirth – 12 months postpartum
- breastfeeding – 6 months after stopping
- inactivated vaccine – 2 days after
- live vaccine – 3 weeks after
- tattoos, ear piercings, etc. – 6 months after

Thanks.

Later, person. 😁

Registration for the Miami trip closes tomorrow at 8 PM!

You’ve given him more farewells than the whole crowd at a Republican Party rally combined. 🤣

That link was taken down, so here’s a working one

It isn't even about being funny; it’s just plain reality. It seems like "Spitka" is going through a bit of a midlife crisis, so it’s hardly surprising he keeps hearing that constant "tick-tock" of his biological clock. 😬

Thomas, hang in there. The old school is right behind you. 😁

Hang in there, Thomas. Old school is still riding with you. 😁

We'll see who's actually legit soon enough. ☕😁

Veki 🙂

If anyone is heading out toward ST after 3 PM and happens to have an extra seat, please shoot me a DM.

Can you hear that crowd roaring?!
Absolutely electric!
Way to go!

Both sides absolutely crushed it with the energy. The turnout was insane, the banners were spot on, and man, that Torcida choreography and pyrotechnics display? Pure class. Even in a place like Vukovar...🙏

Way to go, Vukovar. It was loud as hell in there.

Jim Beglin, you were loud and boisterous in here last night, rambling on about some knockoffs.
But someone already scrubbed your comments away, didn't they? 😢 Well, while I step in to give you my response...
Here is a little something just for you, pal.

By the way, here’s a shot from Columbus while we wait for the official photos from the derby to drop.

You guys really delivered—given those impressive numbers, the non-stop chanting, and the pyrotechnics... it was a legitimate fan derby! 🙂

That's one hell of a fence 👍

What an absolutely incredible performance yesterday! In those moments of pure unity and passionate cheering, I actually got goosebumps. The emotions were just overwhelming, and we truly demonstrated that unshakable mindset and our real strength. Can we do anything but feel proud of how we showed up? Let's take this momentum and move forward! No giving up!
