I gave a gallon of blood in pints of course then they wouldn't take it anymore cuz I had Hep B antibodies. Hospitals always give their nurses anitbodies from Hep B so they will be protected, they must not be able to give blood. I'm AB Neg. I also volunteered at NH & FL shelters, sometimes taking ...

Heidi68 replies on Aug 2, 2019:

Great rewarding work! Thank you for helping those who can't help themselves. I helped out at a shelter in WA & one on the coast here in NC. I really need to get more involved with my local shelter but with my current zoo it is a bit difficult.

I used to give blood...I’m O negative.....the universal donor. I stopped giving blood after I had jaundice a number of years ago.

Heidi68 replies on Aug 2, 2019:

My dad is O negative but medications keep him from giving any longer. I found out today a friend is O negative but she is a chicken.... I begged & begged but she wouldn't budge. I am A+.

@powder I can totally understand that, especially since going to the dentist is my nemesis. I go but if I can find a reason to skip I will. And if they shoved 2 giant needles in the roof of my mouth I would die!

@PadraicM why do we have to unpack anything? He gave us background to give context but in reality it was/is a simple question - "So if you're not religious, just who or what are you praying to?" The responders responses are unpacking the unknown (making a lot of assumptions on what she means) and not answering the basic question and that is the problem. (Yes I know she finally answered him - she is praying to her own version of a sky monkey and has found a church that fits her beliefs).

@Marcie1974 where are you getting anger? As I see it, he is asking a simple question - if someone is not religious but says they pray, who or what are they praying to? Not one person is answering that question. They are talking about spirituality, religion and even language but no one is answering the question. Why? If I asked what color is the sky? Would you give a dissertation of how clouds are made? No you would tell me what color the sky is.

@Lincoln55 definitely not. I was thinking not only about the differences between our photos but also our cities (town for me). Yours is alive, vivid - definitely not B&W. Where mine as Boomtarat03 said has a loneliness/sadness - b&w definitely works.

These are phone photos - I did take my camera so hopefully I can figure out how to get them loaded.

Please excuse the tip of my finger in the one - I was having a bit of a problem seeing the screen....

Heidi68 replies on Jul 27, 2019:

@glennlab I am usually pretty good about remembering to move my digits but the sun was so bright I could barely see the screen. I was just pushing the button and hoping for the best. 😁😀😀

Pix are awesome good, but it seems that the place tells me that it is lonely, something like there is sadness coz they got abandoned.something like,if i can make a story bout the place,it is the sad story. But the town hall are good structure😉

@Boomtarat03 @Lincoln55 it is a good thing I broke the photos up & didn't group them in several albums. There is definitely a loneliness, abandoned feeling to much of this area. We are the home of Lowe's Home Improvement (guess I should have taken a shot of the original Lowe's). Lowe's was a huge boom to this area for many, many years and then, ..... there was a clash between the Town Leaders & Lowe's leaders. Lowe's moved their headquarters to Mooresville and that began the downward spiral to the town. The wealth disparity is insane around here. Lowe's made many multi-millionaires who still live here, yet the majority of the locals are well below the poverty line. Not to mention the amount of homeless in a small town.

I love the variety, the textures, the chances taken. the train depot, the wall art, the angles. You have a very good eye. #9 takes you places - down the tracks, alongside the length of the building and then off to the right down the ramp. I think that one is a great picture that would look good in ...

Very good! Reminds me so much of where I am living right now.

Heidi68 replies on Jul 27, 2019:

Thank you. I am hoping I can get the ones off my camera, onto the computer and then loaded to here. I think I have some neat ones on there

I googled for its real name, here in California known as Chaparral Sweet Pea it is Lathyrus vestitus ... and it climbs into trees :-) Also beware, its seeds contain a neuro-toxin. It was growing all over the damper areas of the acreage on which I lived in the foothills of California.

Heidi68 replies on Jul 27, 2019:

Thanks for then info - I decided I should Google it (neuro-toxins) since this area runs right beside Zack's pasture.

Heidi68 replies on Jul 27, 2019:

@Lincoln55 slightly off topic - picture 5 - old school darkroom you were able to lighten a specific area of a photo (if you were good) are you able to do that with any of the software? If so, could you lighten the grill of the truck a touch for more detail? Not for your story, more for me learning about the capabilities of software.

mischl comments on Jul 26, 2019:

I've had similar feelings about Amazon. Now I avoid it totally, except occasionally buying used books THROUGH amazon, although from 3rd party book sellers.

Heidi68 replies on Jul 26, 2019:

That is a double edged sword - just like many small businesses who employ just a few people - when we don't purchase from them they cut employees - same with Amazon (or any large company). If Amazon cuts 10%, that work load transitions to those who are left. No I don't have a fix for this mess we have become, just an observation (while living the retail nightmare).
