They give me things like bags, teeshirts, beach towels. I try to tell them I don't want these things but I just take them now and give them away. I have a bunch of nieces/nephews that will take anything. Of course I don't give them the amazon gift certificates.

LOL no way - we do have principles after all.

Hey, I didn't give anyone my gas card either.

I'm so sorry.

My dad died of a rare autoimmune disorder that caused very low platelets. I give platelets in his memory. He had a platelet transfusion,and some sort of treatment that had about a 60 percent chance of success - it worked for a few weeks but then stopped working and he died. Very sad.
