Yeah, INNOVA hospital is where my wife and I donate regularly. Every
six weeks is their requirement. We do it when we feel like it, maybe
five six times a year.

I used to do networking for Red Cross. I wouldn't give them a dime. I
will donate blood and volunteer my time though, but I will not trust
them with my money. Same goes for the Salvation Army. The United Way,
I haven't heard anything bad (lately).

8 weeks isn't it?

other charities) be run by a highly skilfull administrator, so we get
the most bang for the buck we donate. They don't come cheap. She
could make a hell of a lot more running a for-profit corporation.


Well pardner, you lost me on that one!
I wouldn't call Liddy Dole a "skillfull administrator" by any
definition. Liddy Dole was made head of the ARC for one reason, to use
her husband's political connections to raise money.

Four and a half years as Secretary of Transportation says Senator Dole
has some familiarity with running large organizations.

Maybe it is 8, I thought I heard 6. Anyways, I get a postcard in the
mail telling me when it's time.

The Senator, yes.
His wife, no.
You never heard the saying in the '80', "Liddy Dole single-handedly set
aviation back 20-years."
Remember, she wanted to be "the Safety Secretary!"

I have to agree with you on that point. But the ARC probably THOUGHT
she was, given her resume.

Lunar cycle x 2 = 56 days

Never mind. Lunar Cycle is 29.5 days. Hmm, I always thought it was 28.

(...not touching the term lunatic + 28 days with a ten foot pole, because
that would be lunacy! g)

Yeah, my pocket calculator says that's right. But the folks at the
Bloodmobile, for some reason, never say 8 weeks; it's invariably 56
days. Has been since I started giving, about 40 years ago.

Don't know why.
