SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - This is the comment thread!

I used to. One of my tales: I was donating once, squeezing the little ball like they said, when it started to hurt. Bad. Real bad. I had tears in my eyes when I said to the nurse "Excuse me. I don't like to think I'm a wimp, but is it supposed to hurt like this?" She came over and gasped, and told me to stop squeezing NOW!. I looked at the bag of blood, and instead of being half full it only had a few drops in it. It seems that the needle had slipped right through the vein and buried itself in the muscle, and the squeezing? Well, I ended up with a yellow bruise that went from my wrist to my elbow, and didn't go away for a couple of weeks.

That was back in 1971. I've given blood many times since, with no problems, until about a decade ago. It seems that they don't want it if you have diabetes. I don't blame them a bit. :sunny:

These are popular.

Oh, wait, you meant in a hospital? Nevermind then. :oops:

After they pull the needle out they press a cotton strip on the wound and wrap it tightly with self adhesive elastic bandage that really makes a tight wrap. So tight it starts to sting on the edges. That's why I started to remove it.

but you're gonna put them off with those tales!!! :stare:

Unfortunately I already did that. A friend of mine finnaly took the courage to go donate, and I started talking about a bloodbath that I had with a fresh nurse (not red, sorry). She pierced the vein trough and slowly blood ran down my hand and started dripping on the floor :DL He reconsidered :damn:

Well done that man...a much more sizeable ex-colleague of mine gives regularly yet faints on occasion and it still doesn't put him off.

I'm currently archiving stuff, so I hope I didn't paste the lyrics into our database...:oops:
Anyway, here are the lyrics, handwritten:

Ich kenn da ein Mädchen aus den Hinterhaus
ihr nettes Wesen das fiel mir auf
immer wenn ich dieses Mädchen sah,
dann dachte ich an einen großen Star

Mädchen mit den roten Haaren
ich lieb dich und ich will dich haben

ihr liebliches Lächeln ihres süßen Gesichts
schien aus den Zeilen eines Liebesgedichts
und immer wenn ich sie nicht seh dann bin ich betrübt
aber von ihren Anblick da werd ich verrückt

Mädchen mit den roten Haaren
ich lieb dich und ich will dich haben

(repeat)

und Plötzlich nach einem Jahr
waren die Idiots ein Star
und plötzlich nach einem Jahr
waren 10 rote Mädels da :DL

I thought you meant you'd put them into English :DL
