Wow... lieing about blood ... anyone remember that guy who was homosexual and posted about hiding this so that he could give blood - I think that ran to about six pages

(how do you spell Lieing? spell checker says lie-ing, (clearly wrong) , lying sounds like to lie down.)

I guess maybe it wont effect many people,

Apparently it affects about 10% of the Australian adult population.
