ADMINISTRIVIA: Scheduled my next platelet donation for September

Wednesday, August 31, 2011

Here’s my prompt:

*** begin quote ***

Hello Ferdinand,

Find us on Facebook!

We at the Blood Center of New Jersey would like to thank you for your Apheresis donation on 08/26/2011. The need for blood and blood products by our local hospitals and medical centers has become even more critical in recent years. Your A Positive donation is greatly appreciated by us and the patient(s) it helps.

Thank you for participating in our e-donor program by supplying your email address. We hope this will be a great service for our donors in that it allows us to notify you directly and quickly of matters of importance to you and your community. For example, this is the fastest way to get your cholesterol results back to you. You will still receive a donation card in the mail a couple of weeks from now.

*** end quote ***

When’s yours?

Lotta people need help. Make the same help, that Our Girl got, available to them.

Talks cheap; blood or platelet donation is easy.

So, in the words of a long lost injineering prof: “You’re probably not too stupid to bleed correctly. Go prove me wrong. Class dismissed.”

ADMINISTRIVIA: I’m giving (gave) a bag of platelets today

Friday, August 26, 2011

With all the talking heads talking about the storm, no one has mentioned blood supplies.

When ever Frau Reinke needed some, it was there. Even during a snow storm twice. She needed it and someone had donated it.

Thanks to those people, she survived as long as she did.

Now you know this stuff is perishable. And, you know it doesn’t grow on trees … yet. (They are working on some genetically egnineered stuff. But it ain’t here yet.)

So, in the words of a long lost injineering prof: “You’re probably not too stupid to bleed correctly. Go prove me wrong. Class dismissed.”

(The stupidity started immediately after donation down at the local tavern — Greenleaf. Although there was substantial support for the Pinewood. Greenleaf was closer. Ahh to be young again, maybe I should have went the extra mile — probably only 250 feet. But why waste time.)

So what’s your excuse!

Update:

I survived. They took two bags. ~700+ ml. Guess that will make three bag full for some needy soul or souls.

Makes “my” debt 72 bags. :-)

Bond actress Angela Scoular died drinking acid cleaner

A Bond girl actress who had suffered from bowel cancer ended her life by drinking drain cleaner, Westminster

Sad.

Hard to imagine what was going through her mind.

Warning sign after warning sign. Where were her friends and family?

I’ve only one person who committed suicide. Every time I read of one, I think of him. I wasn’t that close to him but I was still stunned.

ADMINISTRIVIA: Blood drive results

Saturday, July 2, 2011

The blood drive scored 22 pints. Applause to all involved. I’m told that this draw results in 66 pints of whole blood to patients, and an unspecified amount of platelets (minimum 22 bags) depending upon “yield”. So, all in all, a great “birthday”. Thanks to Jacki for setting it all up. Thanks to Meg for chasing the signs. And, thanks for all the folks who tried or wanted to try. It’s much appreciated. Just cause you couldn’t make it today, doesn’t mean that you can’t donate tomorrow or some day when it’s more convenient. Donna Nobis Pacem

# # # # #

Sunday 01 July 2012 is already scheduled. (At least with “us” and NJBC.)

(2) Personal visit to the Church offices to get publicity.

(3) Personal visit to radio personalities to get publicity.

(6) “Clown” outside donation site?

(7) Better signage.

(8) Personal visits to local biz for publicity.

ADMINISTRIVIA: Join us in New Brunswick

Friday, July 1, 2011

Today would have been Frau Reinke’s 64th birthday. (Last year, I gave her 63 baby pink roses. Who of guess it would be the last birthday.) We’re celebrating with a blood drive. Her neice in law had a great idea. Can’t help Frau Reinke, so we’ll help others. Hope you’ll join us. If not in New Brunswick New Jersey, then where ever you are. Summer time holiday weekends are the worst for donations. And, if you need it, you’re depending upon the kindness of strangers. As she did 175 times. It’s truly the gift of life.

ADMINISTRIVIA: Jasper Louis S. [MC1957] Petrone mentions Reinke’s blood drive globally

My Life in Key West
MONDAY, JUNE 27, 2011

*** begin quote ***

I am a Manhattan College graduate. Manhattan men are known as Jaspers. After the founder of the College, Brother Jasper.

Jasper lives some where in New Jersey. He is a bit younger than me, but not my much I suspect.

So a blood drive in Evelyn’s honor has been planned for July 1. It will be at the Micro Waste facility , 5 Industrial Drive, New Brunswick, NJ. From noon to six in the evening.

Telephone 732-565-5880 to sign up. If you give elsewhere, remember to say it is honor of Evelyn Reinke.

*** end quote ***

Petrone, Louis S. [MC1957]

[JR: It’s nice that “Key West Lew” used his global blog to mention Frau Reinke. She’d be so embarrassed by any “fuss”. In the grand scale of things, all we can do is try. Just put one foot in front of the other. That she’d insist on. Thanks to my fellow Jasper, Key West Lou.]

TINFOILHAT: The girl wearing a polka-dotted dress

Friday, June 10, 2011

The Robert Kennedy Assassination

*** begin quote ***

THE POLKA-DOTTED DRESS GIRL

Sirhan was seen in the hotel – including in the pantry itself – in the company of a girl wearing a polka-dotted dress. The girl and another male companion were seen running from the pantry after the shooting. RFK campaign worker Sandy Serrano, taking a break out on a balcony, saw them run from the hotel, the woman gleefully shouting “We shot him. We shot him.” When Serrano asked who they meant, the girl replied “Senator Kennedy.”

Unbelievable as this sounds, their behavior was corroborated by LAPD officer Paul Sharaga, who was told the same thing by an elderly couple in the parking lot behind the hotel. Sharaga was the source of an All Points Bulletin (APB) on the suspects. The girl was described consistently by most of the witnesses: dirty blond hair, well-built, with a crooked or “funny” nose, wearing a white dress with blue or black polka-dots.

There were many other witnesses to the polka-dotted dress girl, in the hotel and in the company of Sirhan in the weeks prior to the assassination.

Do we EVER get the truth?
