Hambeens 15 bean soup simmered in the crock pot on low with diced smoked ham. I baked a skillet of cornbread so I'll have a slice of that to go
with it.

I donated blood on Friday and they gave you a gift certificate for an appetizer at Chili's so I went tonight.
The One Blood bus goes to different locations and offers incentives to
match the location. Publix gift card when the park there, etc.

That's a good incentive. After I retired I used to give blood regularly.
Then one day I handed in my questionnaire and mentioned something about
the question about whether or not I had ever worked with monkeys. The
nurse had already scanned my answers and went back and noticed I had
checked Yes for that. I was declined.
Apparently they were concerned about the possibility of the presence of simian foamy virus, a form of retro virus that they don't know much
about and for which there is not a reliable test. I followed up on that
and discovered that people who work with with primates are much more
likely to donate blood than other people, and I have no idea how they
could even know that.
I think they have done away with that exclusion, but now I am on 5
different heart medications and some of then exclude me.

They ask quite a few questions, travel outside the US, extra sex
partners, some drugs, and more.
As for the incentives, I also got a T-shirt and an eGift certificate for
$30.
To donate, you have to be at least 17 years of age and 120 pounds. I qualify on both parts.
I'll get an email in a few days telling me where my blood went.
