I gave blood once, it was pretty cool- I felt good about it, doing the right thing and all that.
A_B, thanks for the tip- tried a Bruachladdich tonight (woo! guests bought me like 20 drinks!) it's really good, very similar to Bunnahabhien and Bowmore but a little more subtle.
I had the 12 (oh noes! jailbaitz!), will look into the 18 and 25.

I like tube-style belay devices over the gri-gri. [btw: obtained the Reverso 3 this weekend. Far superior to the ATCGuide.] Had to retire my original (yes original, not the 2nd gen one with the ridges) Reverso a couple weeks ago. I was getting t3e Sharpz edgez!  Still waiting for someone to get the Reverso 3 in stock here... As I cannot find my old stitch plate (my first belay device) I have had to resort to t3e ATC  It took you that long to retire your original Reverso? You can grind down the sharp edges. I gave away my Reverso to Zomb_E cause it sucked. Yes it did. Yes I have rounded the edges once before. And no it doesn't suck. And yes I'm waiting for the new one. Oh, and I think I remember where I put my Stitch Plate. Whoo! My biggest bitch was the lack of fricton when belaying or rappeling. Rebecca's Reverso 1.0 is hanging on the gear wall in the basement collecting dust. You'd have to work a deal out with her though.

Last time I went to donate they told me I couldn't and would have to wait longer due to my tattoos and piercings. I think more than enough time have past that I should be able to donate again.
Word to the wise, Do not donate a few days before an alpine climbing trip... that one sucked. Hmmm, I think that was the last time I donated too.
Carry on.
