a new question.....

ok, so....i gave blood on my way home from work yesterday...mostly because my daughter was keen on giving blood and i was not going to be the one who did not having gone to the trouble to show up at the location....i have not given blood in years- not since leaving a job where the blood mobile showed up regularly onsite and all i had to do to donate was to walk a few hundred yards.....i was therefore way out of the loop on questions now asked of donors to determine fitness to donate.....the nurse in the pre-donation interview did not break a smile when she asked me 'were you born a woman?'......i laughed out loud.....having never before been asked that question......hopefully the enxt time i can keep a straight face....
