The Random thought Thread

That's not weird, it can be useful to know. And so do I, no idea what mine is, it's never been checked. (Not even when I had to have a procidure done and a blood test beforehand. Found that odd.)


edit: Actually I was just thinking of this a couple days ago and trying to recall if I'd heard of home test kits once and if that's a thing. (Off to check...)

I think it only really matters when it comes to donating or receiving a blood transfuaion

A TMNT based random thought thread might be a good thing to have...

One of the lines from the manufacturer description for a big plush toy snake on Amazon (another I was considering getting in the future for my nephew after seeing it at Toyrs R Us) reads:

Large heads to really give you a great time.

...what.

Sure. But. Not how I'd describe a plush toy snake for ages 3 and up.

Even if you know your blood type, they'll check it anyway. I mean, imagine if you remember it wrongly? You'll die if they give you the blood of the wrong type.

That being said, I don't know mine either. I haven't had blood drawn from me in YEARS and I don't think they tell you your type unless you ask them for it.

My mother, maternal grandmother and brother are all B+. If I knew my father's type I could have an idea what my type is, but it's impossible for me to know if I don't have his. I could be anything, really.

According to some stats I've read, the B type is the rarest type after AB, and only less than 10% of people in my country seem to bear it. I guess hospitals could use the blood of people like me, then?

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, I heard about that. Glad to hear you made it out okay.

What does it mean when a sad face shows above your post?

[BubblyShell22]

I don't know. Is that happening here or elsewhere?

My thought: Why can't anyone have consideration for those who are trying to sleep?

I feel your pain.

At our house, well... You would THINK that being 32 my sister would think that maybe its isn't cool to let her 15-month-old child bang loudly on the bath tub with plastic toys while he's in there with her in the morning at 6:30am. Why not at least trade with him something much softer?? (The tub of course shares a wall with my bedroom.) Or let him scream like a beast out of hell in the hallway. (And all the other crap she doesn't seem to get that she in fact, as an adult human being, should.)

No problem. You can also link to individual posts instead of linking the thread and asking people to look for a certain post.

Very Cool!

Now you're just being patronizing, haha.

No. Definitely not trying to be. Especially to someone that is assisting me and answered a question I had. That's one of the things that sucks about the internet is honest genuine communication versus insincerity, trolling and patronizing is difficult to decipher, imho. Also jokes fly over my head.

Don't worry, I was kidding.
