On 10/8/2014 RedTop said: Today was an absolutely gorgeous fall day here in southern WV. It also happens to be my birthday. To celebrate my life, I chose to hopefully give the gift of life through my monthly platelet donation. I have been a regular blood donor for many years, but recently learned I am a good candidate for platelet donation. Platelets are given to cancer patients, trauma patients, and transplant patients. I feel very blessed to be healthy enough to make this specialized donation, and have committed to a monthly donation for the next year. Platelets are only good for 5 days, and each platelet donation can help at least 2 patients. My personal goal is to make 100 donations and get my name on the Donor Wall at the center. I feel I have a responsibility to give back and help someone else, and this is what works well for me, and makes me feel good.

Well, Happy Birthday, RedTop! What a thoughtful thing you did today; hope you are going to do something nice for yourself on your special day.

Gloriajean, I see nothing wrong with trying to keep this thread going on from day to day. It gives all of us a chance to 'talk' among ourselves. JMO, of course.

Happy Birthday to a sweet Sixteen!!! Have a great dinner with her, Azgal!

And Happy Birthday to you, Red Top! Are you a red head too? What a wonderful thing you did today on your birthday!! Hope you are celebrating it tonight in a very special way.

HisElk - Thanks for your posts on the wine - Dandelion wine is good, but I haven't had that in many years!!! I bet it calls for a whole field of Dandelions! My daughter that going to Guatemala in Feb. is so excited to try making this wine, she came over Saturday and started getting everything together for it! So I sure hope it does turn out. She lives only about five miles away and that's a blessing! You know? I think you're right - this thread can go on daily and give you all a chance to "talk". It's also my opinion, too. Well...it didn't get poofed off of here, so maybe that tells us something?

It sure can be an All Day Thread!
