this bites
So I go in to donate plasma today. Get my $15 and head out to my car. Only to find that my car is no longer in its spot. It seems that since I was straddling the line between two parking spots (one owned by the place I donate at, the other by an apartment building) my vehicle got towed. That part is bad, what is worse is that the tow company used has been changed in the last couple of months. Before, the charge to get the car back was $66...now it is $100. To put this another way, I just paid $85 to donate plasma. Ugh.

ouch dude. thumbs down to tow-happy lincoln. ):
um, what exactly is plasma - is that the same as donating blood - because if it is I can't believe you get paid for it - we do it for free & out of the goodness of our hearts on the other side of the pond!!
plasma is what makes up most of your blood. If you donate blood here, it is for free. If you donate plasma (where they separate your blood cells from the plasma and then reinsert your blood cells into your body) they pay you b/c the plasma goes towards research and medicine production.
oh, is this how we are communicating now - comments on your blog ;)
Thank you for clearing up the plasma question though
don't you miss waukesha where all you get is a yellow envelope you happen to notice on that early morning drive to dairyland. atleast there the daycare lady was only hitting us for $15.
