I found out today I can’t give blood because I lived in England for over 3 months in 1986. Who knew?
I came home and tried to watch Secretary, but it set off my nerves too much. I think I got about 10 minutes into it before I turned it off and watched Election instead.
Now I’m hungry for dinner and, crazily enough, I’m craving meat! It started while I was watching Election. I started craving little breakfast sausages. Now I’m considering a big bacon cheeseburger! Where did this come from?? Can I blame it on PMS? Is that fair? Should I break my 3 years of vegetarianism?

So does this make your blood too british for the US blood bank?

I just don’t know. It was on the list of reasons they couldn’t accept blood; right up there with paying for sex or accepting money for sex, using IV drugs, and not weighing enough. There was a page length column of reasons, but no explanation for them.

Pema, this is Dov.
Sure, why not? (Big Texas Drawl) “Here we have a hard working Texas gal, who spends her time fighting the
Burning Man sands of Nevada and the the biggest cities of the great American far west.
And what does she have for dinner other than combination #37373849, a nice, big juicy bacon
halepeno double cheeseburger with extra pickles, three slices of cheese, french fries
and a big mug of frosty root beer (if you don’t mind Mr. Vegan man as you look hungry at the Tumbleweed that just
blew beneath the windmill…)”
As the ad says from watching too much TV, What-A-Burger!!!
Love and Hugs. Dov Eliezer

I think minnie explained it pretty well. I’d be really ill if I ate a bacon cheesburger now! Blech.
Though the cravings continue, I’m blaming them on stress. I crave junk food when I’m tired and feeling overwhelmed. But, eating that junk food only makes it worse. So, for the sake of my digestive system and my sanity there will be no meat.

OK, don’t get me started on that stupid mad cow disease thing! I got a nasty note from the Red Cross that my blood is “inappropriate” for public donation or something like that. Rude bastards. I was trying to be generous and I get a slap in the face. They were not nice about it all.
Anyway, I actually wanted to say that I LOVED the Secretary. Thought it was excellent! We’ve always had somewhat opposite tastes in films though…
