O+ here

I haven't donated for about 8 years. I used to, but I had to stop because I was recieving phone calls at home, at work, letters in the mail, and once even a threat before I said I'll never again give more blood. This was the Red Cross by the way. I'm sure some will disagree with my reason.
I just stopped considering it. Maybe if I can give blood anonymously then I'll do it again.

I can't because they don't let you have alcohol in your system. That takes me out every day of the week.

Truthishly I plan on donating again soon.
