Scientologists want your blood

Why would anyone go to the church of Scientology to give blood when
there are so many less sketchy, secular places to donate.

Surely once you are tied down they eat your brains.

The fact that the signs are done with paper taped to the boards and
that American red cross part is almost entirely scratched off makes it
even weirder.

They want our blood so Tom cruise can drink it in an attempt to preserve his youth....fuck em

libertad - 07/28/08 18:21
Even if they would take my gay blood that might infect the rest of the population I would never do so there. That is crazy.

hodown - 07/28/08 17:20
Um yeah I don't think Id be giving my blood there.

While I share your suspicions about the Scientologists, that is just how the red cross does its signs.

And I think they ask every faith community. They asked us, and made taped over signs for us, too.

But if you give at the red cross building on Delaware, they have fast service and good treats.

Visiting dave at ecmc

Wow, he got really smashed up from that car. He is in the ICU at
ECMC. It is so great that he has such a close, caring family. It
makes me want to have kids. The nurse said he responded to some
commands this morning, which is good. It so hard to see such a
physically active guy so broken down.

The hospital itself is kind of strange. It looks a bit like a prison
and is blocked off from the sidestreets with barbwire fences. The
neighborhood on the other hand is much nicer than you would expect
with the barbwire fences. Tended gardens, painted houses, cut lawns,
cobble stone street - it was actually pretty cute.

This is awful news. :( My thoughts and prayers go out to Dave and his family.
I hope sincerely that Dave pulls through this tough time!!

Please keep up posted!!

Sun burn
Category: health

I can't believe I got this little piece of sunburn. I never get
sunburned. If I ever get cancer there, this journal will be evidence it all started at WEMF 2008 (e:paul,45082)

The evening evolved
Category: family

Mike has decided to return to his tyranacap heritage. Not tranicap.
According to him, the difference is the tuck.

tinypliny - 07/28/08 21:00
What in the world is a tyranacap? A Tyrannosaurus Rex with a cap?

hodown - 07/28/08 10:05
I am literally laughing out loud at my desk right now.

paul - 07/27/08 12:17
I am just testing this comment. Mike you like ridiculous - you really need to stop the tyranacap before you become "special ed." Just remember how far dad took that.

A lady fell down
Category: allentown

She fell down outside of Fugazi. Too much wine mixed with zoloft.
Instead of helping her all the people sat around and gosipped about it
- it was sick. I left to go sit and talk with her. Then someone
called a freakin ambulance. She was fine just shaken up.

She only lived two blocks away so I sent terry to get the car to take
her home but the freakin firetruck got there first. They said she was
ok, so I walked her home only two blocks away and returned her to her
husband who was very nice. It's amazing how people just assumed she
was a crazy street person on crack and no one could be bothered to
help her. People on Allen are so negative.

I hope I never fall down outside a gay bar. I also hope people check
with me before calling 911!

paul - 07/27/08 12:24
Ya, no one joined in after I went to help her. They all just sat around and made snide comments about her.

metalpeter - 07/27/08 11:15
That is so odd that no one would ask her anything and then also assume she needed and ambulance and call one. The only thing that I can think of is that maybe most of the people didn't think they where in enough of a good condition to help her. There is a group dynamic thing that is really weird but often true. No one wants to be the first one to help out, but once one person does then others join in, it is very odd.

paul - 07/27/08 11:10
I doubt it. I think people would just hudddle and gossip. What a horrible nightmare that would be.

james - 07/27/08 10:23
But paul, you are a gay boi. We take care of our own.... right?
