This story really quite upset me

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/shropshire/7078455.stm

I guess probably because its so close to home - Susie needed 4 bags of blood after giving birth to Belle.

I do really hate religion - it's just so bloody selfish >:-(

It's crazy - poor little babes growing up without a mam because she (and most of her religion) doesn't know the difference between "eating blood" (the phrase in the bible that caused all the problems{1}) and having it infused into her veins! If you eat/digest blood, it's unlikely to save your life - if you have a transfusion, it just might give the child a mother!
{1} Leviticus 17:10

Speaking of child... I guess I'm going to have to beg for an invite to meet Belle...? I wanted to wait till most of the "oooh new baby" floods of visitors calmed down (and get over my baby-dreams that started after she arrived so Stephen wasn't SO paranoid I was gonna start going "I want one" :) - when you get some free time and wouldn't mind a visitor (or two), let me know???

PS. On a kinda relevant note - got my 10 donations for The Blood Donors Bronze award recently, so Yey! :D

Not to eat blood is perfectly good advice to a group of desert dwelling nomads.

However, I'm not giving up black pudding.

(Or blood transfusion...)

Mmm, I do like black pudding.... damn you distracting me from my valid moral stand!

Sorry....

[harrytc]

Nothing to see here.

No distractions...

(I've had served it in cream and stilton sauce... mmMMmmm... Possibly a touch rich, but mmMMMmmmMmmmmmmm....)
