Completely unrelated to personal finance.
I went to give blood today. They were doing a blood drive in my building and I thought I would do my part.
Sadly I couldn’t donate. I was disqualified. Not just once but for the rest of my life. I can never give blood in the USA.
Why you ask?
I spent more than a total of 3 months in Great Brittan between 1980 and 1996. (which is true my family lived there for 5 months in 1987)
What is it about this time in England that makes it possible so that I can never ever donate blood?
Glad you asked.
Mad Cow Disease.
That’s right, I could be a mad cow.
