New Idea to Facilitate a Mod Budget

[JrBiem]

So I have been looking into donating plasma. You can make $200 a month, which I think would be a respectable monthly budget for fun Max mods. Plus it helps out sick people, so win win right? Just thought I'd share my brainstorm...

My wife sells her blood. She has o- and whatever is in it they want, they spin it out. She gets $55 dollars every time, and can do it twice a week. There are also bonuses if you are consistant. A few weeks ago we went to red lobster on a gift card from the blood place. If your thinking of doing it there is one thing to consider. You can't have a problem with big needles.

I didn't know they'd pay ya for that! I might start doing that, and donating sperm. Should pull in a few extra bucks each month that way!

I have O+ which is the most commonly found (O- is rarest). Anyone with type "O" is considered a universal donor since our blood can be used in an emergency since it is compatible with anyone regardless of blood type. We can't accept anyone with other type blood though.

I have been giving whole blood (not just plasma) to the red cross for a number of years. Every 58 days if I can remember to make my appointment. Someday I may need some back so I don't have a problem giving!

Way to go Sean ! Anyone that donates blood to the red cross has a big + in my book. I've been donating blood too, for about 30+ years now. Working towards the 13 gallon mark !! With B- blood, the second rarest, I'm called every 58 days too.

I'm allergic to needles...

Every time they stick one in me, I get tense, sweat, get fearful, and bleed.

I do NOT do needles... In fact, I'd pay someone 200 bucks to do it for me. :biglaugh:

I am w/you! I began giving many yrs. ago. One of my co-workers was in a boating accident & that was when I began. I have donated > 10 gallons and would not sell my blood, but if someone wanted to do that, that is their business.

THATS WHAT MY WIFE HAS , WHEN YOU SAID ; UNIVERSAL DONOR , THATS WHAT SHE ALWAYS SAY'S AND THATS WHY THERE ALWAYS CALLING ! .. BECAUSE ANYONE CAN USE IT ! . I JUST HAD TO EDIT MY LAST POST ! . :confused2:

I'll have to look into this, but how can you call it "donate" if they pay you for it?

 

[JrBiem]

I'm not exactly sure on the donate vs. pay terminology they use. But according to their website they aren't actually buying the plasma but rather paying you for the 1.5-2 hrs per time that it takes to accomplish the goal. :confused2:

In medical-language, the term 'universal donor' refers to the ability to allow your blood to be used by any other blood-type classified person. It's the phrase which is used in medicine. it has nothing to do w/the "vending" of your blood.

"Universal receipient" means you can accept others' blood of different types.

Compare it to brake fluid. Type "3" DOT has a set boiling point. You can add Type "4" to a reservoir containing Type "3", but not the other way around if you want to maintain the boiling point of the fluid intact. Type "4" has a higher boiling point. In everyday use this is not so-important, as the boiling points are relatively close-together, but in a heavy duty use like a 149 mph motorcycle, you need all the stopping power you can get. Since the brake fluid attracts water, which lowers the boiling point, changing fluid once a year to lessen the corrosive effects of water absorbed into your brake systems and to flush out other impurities is a good practice.

I thought mixing type 3 with type 4 brake fluid would cause a cottage cheese effect? :ummm::ummm:

Im with you Chris, not good with needles.
The only way i would do it is if a family member or friend needed my blood.

Same up here Tim simply voluntary, I'm O- and baby donor. I donate every other month. Comming up on the second gallon marker either on the 5th of this month or in june. The blood bank of Alaska has a pretty cool office here in town. No money but oh well, I've gotten t-shirts, and coupons that cover a nice lunch from various resteraunts. I don't have a problem with giving, the gals that draw my blood are pretty cool and always have a great conversation. Besides its a nice way to fill the karma jar, one pint at a time.

 

[tmosel]

We have a blood drive at work every eight weeks and I donate there.

Nope you can mix 3 & 4 just dont get 5 any where around them 2 you will be replacing your whole brake system.

I used to give 2-3 times a year at the local Red Cross blood drives but since I became a diabetic 5 years ago I can no longer donate. I liked to donate knowing it would help somebody in need. The needle part doesn't bother me, in fact I have blood drawn 4 times a year now but it's just for testing.
