Did you really sell your plasma? I've heard it feels awful and takes forever.

I sell it twice a week. It takes roughly an hour and a half total (from arrival to departure) and it doesn't bother me at all. I just lay back, listen to my mp3 player, read a book, and smile inwardly at all the other destitute people because I think I'm better than they are. The weirdest part is when they put the saline in at the end to rehydrate you, it feels really, really cold running through your veins, but mine were already filled with ice, so it doesn't bother me. Hey-o!

So what is plasma going for these days?

$25 a pop- or roughly $16 an hour, which would be triple what I make in work study and I get to set my own hours. So giving plasma twice a week makes more financial sense than getting a job I don't have time for...

is there any kind of limit on how often you can give? I mean, don't you feel faint and weird if you give it that much??

You can give it twice a week (max) with at least 48 hours between donations. You don't feel faint or anything after, they take the blood out, centerfuge it, take the plasma, and then put the plasma-less blood back in. I haven't noticed any ill effects, other than every once in a while my toes get numb and half of my mouth doesn't work. Just kidding, but seriously, I thinking about unionizing the crackheads to extract more money for our plasma...

FYI, Señor Colón, you can scratch cleaning your shower off the list. Buy this. Not long after we got married, Hubster and I divided the bathroom cleaning duties (in the context, I could have picked a better word) and he took cleaning the shower and tub. We moved in to the new place and started using this after the last shower of the day and now I'm pissed because he hasn't touched the shower in weeks and I still have to clean the floors, sink, and mirrors regularly. Life's not fair, but at least our shower always sparkles.

Nice! I'd totally buy it, but this is what I meant by cleaning the shower.

Materials:
1- $.99 bottle of disinfectant/shower stuff from walmart

Directions: Spray down shower, let sit, turn the water on and wave the shower head around rinsing the walls. Repeat every six to eight weeks...

Sure the shower stays kind of gross, but I stay away from the walls and wear sandals...
