But! Some flintstone vitamins with iron, and I'm all good.) I can't donate blood until April. I love my tattoo, but damnit, I shouldn't have told them about it. Foo. Well, I didn't tell them about getting it finished, so I guess I'm still good. :) donating blood checks your iron levels, and they won’t let you donate if you’re anemic (this is how I found out that I was anemic.

I'd rather have a nice fluffy doughnut than one bogged down heavy with sugar. Had my first Krispy Kreme doughnut in Atlanta in '97. I still much prefer Tim Horton’s (depending upon location).

A bizzare sounding ticker is what prompted my doctor the first time I found out I was anemic....

I, too, don't really get the point of it. It was ok. The warm doughnut was all right.. but it tasted like a doughnut to me. We went as an adventure though -- something to do for the night, so it was an all right experience. We just weren't really there for the doughnuts. *laughs* I lost my Krispy Kreme virginity last night. I, too, don’t really get the point of it. It was ok.

The doughnuts are hot and soft and sugary, but it sure wasn't a life changing experience for me. Admittedly, I'm not a doughnut person, but even so... Couple that with the fact that my S.O. waited almost an hour in the drive-thru lineup (apparently they have ferry terminal style lanes with people directing traffic) and in the end they managed to screw up the order. There's a Tim Horton's less than five minutes walk (Healthy! Burn off some calories before partaking of deep fried sugary dough) from where I live. I don't think I'm going to be doing the KK thing very often (if ever again). Yeah, I don’t get what the Krispy Kreme Kult is all about.
