I know this link is an older one, but it still applies for today.

The same applies to cocaine. If you have ever snorted it, you can't give blood.

A lot of plumbers don't realise that.

ha ha ha ha, I don't know if that is true, lol, well, it was brought up tonite at my house, my son was with his friends and one was getting a tat. I reminded him, not to get one, because I could possibly need a bone marrow transplant, and if so, well... I got this great kid, he won't get one. I just wasn't sure how many people here, reading this forum, might not realize if they need a loved one to help them out medically to ask their kids, or loved ones to refrain from piercings and tats.

I don't know what plumbers have to do with that Ian....
But as usual your eyes are turning brown from a backup....
