There are two types of artificial blood: volume expanders, which include saline and other types that are colloid-based, and the ones that actually transport oxygen, called oxygen therapeautics. There are two types of those: perfluorobarbon based and hemoglobin based. I found this out from my science teacher friend... She said that the saline and other types of volume expanders can be used when you just need to fill volume but that usually they need to carry oxygen too so they are doing clinical trials on oxygen therapeautics, but they use them regularly in South Africa.

I'm not sure that it's just blood volume that needs to be replaced--don't they need something that will carry oxygen? Normal saline won't do this, though I know that some hospitals are experimenting with artificial blood.

LOL! I have a purse-sized remedy kit!! I took out the remedies I needed and put them places...like I always take arnica to the gym, just in case. And I never use my purse!! I went to Target and bought this beautiful purse I loved, and my boyfriend looked at me kind of funny and said I didn't seem like the purse type. I spent an hour putting everything I needed in it and used it for about a week and am back to just carrying my wallet with me or random things I need in my pocket. Oh yeah, about the soul thing...I guess in Chinese medicine they say your soul is in the blood, but at least they only took 1/12 of my soul. 92% of my soul is still intact, so I still have an A.

LOL! I was just concerned because of course some of the requisite remedies in my remedy kit are in various gym bags or somewhere else on the floor.

My Heilkunst person said I didn't need any remedies because it wasn't traumatic for me. *whew*

Well, I can't find my arnica but I just took arnica powder for my foot thing, and I took homeopathic china.

Yeah, I didn't want to spend $15 and wait a week to get the kit so I just donated blood... I had surgery but who knows when and where that hospital was...somewhere in Pennsylvania. Anyway, too late. It made me hyper though, which I didn't expect. How many days til you get your soul back after donating blood?

I donated blood yesterday so I could find out what my blood type is, and then I was told that in Chinese medicine they think that your soul is in your blood! Luckily I only gave away 1/12th of it. It actually made me really hyper. Also I got a free apple pie out of the deal.

friday i work 'til 7 in tucson... late night drinks? haha, i bet that's against the kunlun law or something.

When is everyone hanging out? I have a 9-12 workshop on Saturday the 17th and watching UFC that night and then 12-6 appointments on Sunday.

the book of jook

actually usually your band size goes down but cup size stays around the same, so they LOOK larger but are really smaller

Okay, so I keep seeing all these warnings on telephones (land lines, not even cell phones) saying they have lead and was wondering...do all phones have lead? How much lead? How do you protect yourself?

Ooh, got any research on that? I've been getting shit because I don't have energy-saving bulbs. And I'm not talking cell phones, just land line phones.

maybe that's the problem...

Ooh, I felt my 3rd eye totally open up too. A psychic told me I studied with Mary Magdalene in a past life. The other one was intense, too....

Weapons are just a tool. They can be used to harm or to protect. I keep them around because I'd rather not get up close and personal with a bad guy who will likely be bigger and stronger. Plus, they are cool.

I'm not going to the seminar but would love to meet/hang out with some bums... just keep me posted.

Check out the book "Sex, Lies and Menopause" if you have time.

I try not to do exercises where I see faces in the mirror by myself, but the important thing if you see something dark and scary to not get sucked into that.

BJJ!! I just started training in it again...well, actually in JJ because it's no gi... fun!!

Just thinking too much.

yes, send him love and pancakes and pooh
