World Blood Donor Day, June 14, 2016 – #blooddonor @bloodassurance
June 14 is World Blood Donor Day. It’s a great opportunity to celebrate those who give the gift of life and spread the word about the value of donation.
What we see every day around the world is situations where blood is needed for those in need whether it be for surgery or because they have been in a serious accident and require an emergency transfusion or as we have seen in Orlando the need because of a mass shooting. You never know when you will need blood to save your life or even saving the lives of someone you love. Being a blood donor means saving 3 lives with every donation. If you can donate please consider donating today.

YABAR – Yet Another Blog About Reblogging
OK, perhaps I am just overreacting and making a mountain out of a mole hill about this reblogging thing.
Here are a couple of ground rules for my followers…
- DO NOT reblog personal posts that include family and other personal pictures.
- Ask for permission if there is something original I have written that sounds academic or poetic or something that could be used to advance my life and career.
- Other posts are OK including my music posts and other posts about current events, culture, etc.
Maybe that will eliminate unnecessary drama and angst on my part. I really wanna play well with others and perhaps have some of my stuff get the eyeballs and ears of others across the blogosphere.
Rambling About Reblogging
I wish there was a setting that would prevent selected blogs from being reblogged by other users. Personally I don’t reblog a lot of stuff because I believe in generating original content. I will only reblog something if it fits in the philosophy of my blog. There is some value in reblogging because of the traffic it generates but there is also a creepy aspect about re-posting something personal from another blogger. With a little imagination and creativity people can do amazing work.
The More You Know
The more you blog, the more you know. You can learn stuff from one another in the blogosphere. This is indeed post education.
