Missed Paris-Nice today, but saw two surgeries instead. First a hip- and then a knee-replacement. Had a moment when i didn't feel good in both, but after a minute outside and a glass of water i entered again without problems.
Will see some more during the next weeks but probably not that long and complicated.

Your post makes me wonder why we all tend to feel sick when we see spilled guts, surgery or stuff like that. What kind of psychical mechanism works there ? |

Apparently it's called blood-injury phobia https://www.webmd....t-of-blood

I have no problem at the blood test, if I don't look.
Totally crazy, I know that they are taking blood but it does not harm me at all.
But as soon as I look, I go nuts. I don't faint, but everything else.
But that just reminds me: I can watch the worst movies, killing, slaughter and whatever, but if there is a needle, I have to look away.
Maybe I have another "phobia", not related to blood but related to needles inserted into bodies. |

I can't give blood because I faint, but it's not because of needles or anything. It doesn't freak me out at all. But 10-15 mins after the blood is withdrawn I just pass out from anemia.
Last time it happened I had gotten in my car to leave. If I'd passed out seconds later I'd be driving already. Scary! After that the doctor told me not to give blood again.

I have never advanced so far into a season ever as I'm doing right now. I'm now in March

I've never really tried looking at the person stinging me with a needle for blood tests, I always look on the other side. For the pain and horror or gore movies part I'm very much like you too.
I'm not sure it's related to blood though, I don't mind seeing blood, as long as it's not big quantities of mine (never happened), but I remember feeling very sick when people at work were having a discussion about cut fingers in a factory or something like that. Just like I felt disgusted when I noticed a chick I met for work had one missing finger and scars on all the other fingers (she probably tried to stop a land mower with bare hands). |

In the UK, they always test you for potential anaemia before you donate blood, and you get turned away if you fail. Do they not do that where you live?

Yeah, in Portugal, the amount of money you pay for quality of treatment is almost none. |

Whilst I've never donated blood, as I'm low on ferritin (blood iron) and red cells (drama of my sporting career ), I don't think they check for anaemia strictly-speaking, but they check your hematocrite to see if taking your blood out won't make you reach a critically low level of red cells which could indeed cause fainting.

Here's the thing...I'm not anemic. It only happens when I draw half a liter of blood or so. My blood oxygenation is fine otherwise. (I used the word anemia for a simpler description of what happens to me, I don't have the actual medical condition called anemia, my HcT is around 41%)

After months of struggles and losing members, we finally have another gig tonight! Let's hope we're on the way back to business again! Put my back out hauling my drum to the car, though. Best lay down a bit more before the show  |

How many times I heard that before  Damn those drums! Though I also have a jaw's harp, I just don't think it'll have the same effect in a rock band |

I just finished updating the list of comics I own.
I own the amazing amount of 1600 comic books (including about 200 of these American paperbacks) |

I googled my name five minutes ago... On page five of google results I found stuff like first-name-surname-gay then the same with homo and then sexy instead.
WTF. Then I realised it was hosted at Cyanide and was as old as 2007 when some moron wasn't satisfied with hacking my private mailbox after being banned and created accounts with those names, that google bots registered.
Thankfully there are at least one or two more people with the same name as me in this country, but that can easily be linked to me.
Let's just hope that won't cause harm if people (potential employers some day) are prejudiced, take it serious, and bother googling my name.

The risk of the internet, sure as hell...
If it would ever be problems, I'm sure you could do something about it, legally? |

Well, there is one pretty simple rule. Never type your real name on the keyboard, if it is not official mails or so. But hard to avoid that when they hack your mailbox of course.

I think my real name got "public" within the Cyanide community when I got credited for PCM2006. Also, as I used MSN with my "normal" hotmail address (that would later be hacked), my real name was relatively obvious, since my address is the first letter(s) of my first name then my surname.
About any harm done, how would I prove it ? "Whatever employer doesn't wish to push negociations any further, they think you're an interesting person but wouldn't match the position". Well... Thankfully I'm not looking for a job at the moment but who knows, maybe in 1, 5 or 10 years ? |
