To be fair, I am only 5'4", so it's not like I'm a billion feet tall and all stringy. Although I do have really stringy veins. When I had to have a blood test a couple of years ago, I got a student nurse, unsupervised, who had only taken blood once...bad idea. It was one of those vacuu-needle things...eugh. It bubbled, so she just pushed it further in until it came out the other side of the vein. I hadn't eaten anything yet that morning since I didn't know I was getting blood taken. My life has never been the same since.

how is being absurdly skinny being blessed?


you're blessed because of how much you weigh?

that makes no sense....

You are blessed when you are healthy, and you are blessed when you are not healthy, being unhealthy means you can give your suffering up for souls... but how does being skinny make one blessed, i'll never know

when I was 9, my brother was attacked, and had his throat slashed. He had to have 4 units the minute he got to the hospital. I remember my mom calling people to donate, and I was afraid that they wouldn't get there in time. My dad explained that he had already gotten the blood from someone who had donated the day before just in case something like this happened. We were having people come in to replace that for someone that might get hurt tomorrow. They obviously wouldn't let me give. I was so proud when I turned 17, and got permission to give at a school blood drive. I've given ever since, and lost count of the gallons. Every time I give, it hurts, I get squeamish, but I keep going back. It's a promise I made to my brother almost 37 years ago. The old fool is going to be 60 in 6 weeks and just married a woman 20 years younger than he is.

Uh, you missed my point. lol but thats okay

But just to clarify :teach: I've seen pictures of her and she looks perfectly healthy.
We're all built differently and blessed ya know for it too :) So I'm sorry you misunderstood me

yes, i agree no matter what we are all blessed :pray: I didnt' mean to say otherwise :( what I meant was......that she was blessed because "losing weight" is not on the list of something she has to work on like me. :idontknow:

Now someone could very much have the opposite attention and I understand it but please don't make something out of nothing here because I certainly didn't meant that. :(

[quote name='T-Bone _' post='1396061' date='Oct 1 2007, 03:32 PM']This seems to be the give excuses thread. <_<[/quote]

lol Yeah, it does.


Like Noel, I don't weigh enough. And I still outweigh her by more than 10 lbs.


[quote name='missionarybelle' post='1396095' date='Oct 1 2007, 04:36 PM']you only have to weigh 110 lbs.[/quote]

Yup. I've never met their limit, except when I was pregnant. A part of me wishes I could give, once I get over the initial jab the needle doesn't bother me (I've had to give blood at the doctors office, of course, even if I can't donate at a blood drive); the other part of me is glad I have an excuse. And I have good veins. I have never had problems with nurses finding them--when I had Charlotte the lab attendant told me I had the best veins he'd seen all night. lol So.... being small is a blessing and a curse, I guess. haha
