Hopelessly Lost, But Making Good Time
Remember when David Letterman was PIMP funny? Yeah. And remember that Lost is on tonight, like you’d forget.
Anyway, being somewhat of a Mommy Blogger I am seeing lots of requests for getting out information on donating breast milk to Haiti.
I am ever the skeptical.
Do they even have fridges? I mean ones that are hooked up to electricity that is working?
Turns out not.
If you want to donate breast milk, they need your breasts there. Except not. They can’t handle any more help that isn’t already trained.
There are several breast milk donation sites. Everyone is saying the same thing. Donate and it will be used where it is needed. Most likely locally.
While poking around, I decided to see what the Red Cross had to say about needs. They need blood. They always need blood. Earthquakes and hurricanes aside. Give blood. Because as the Red Cross is pointing out….”That blood can only come from a volunteer donor”
Which makes me laugh. You mean I can’t hold down people on the street and take it from them?
Well, not in America you can’t.
So give blood. And keep your shirt on.
Unless you want to donate breast milk to American babies, which is needed and appreciated.
Thankyouverymuch.

Yeah, I also read that you cannot give bodily fluids, (milk, blood,) if you’ve been in the UK for longer than three months since 1980 – what is up with that? What is going on in the UK that makes my fluids unacceptable?
