I gave two weeks ago, and for some reason it took forever! I think I had a less-than-competent tech who used a really small needle, so it was in my arm for nearly 45 minutes. Never had that happen before!
To Robb and everyone else who is discriminated against for purely political (and "moral") reasons: It infuriates me, too, and it won't change until at least January 2009. Here's hoping it does. What a ridiculous, wasteful, harmful rule.
On a somewhat related note, a friend of mine used to give blood every 8 weeks without fail. Then his blood sample erroneously tested positive for hepatitis and they gave him a lifetime ban, even though he never had hepatitis and subsequent tests confirmed that. He says that's the end of his do-gooding.
