Thanks!

When I was a kid our “dream meal” was getting a big mac, fries, and a shake at McDonald’s! That only happened very occasionally for super-big celebrations.

I’m responding to you because I didn’t want to respond to the idiot OP.

Do you have a copycat troll? I saw something posted by “you” that seemed very off. 

I love all of this response!
But I just realize I can’t even donate blood (due to some bad habits about 35 years ago) so I don’t think I’ll qualify for this. 

Ugh, when will I learn to google before commenting.

Fuck yeah!

Blue lives is a fallacy. You choose to put on that uniform. 

I like it. 

Thank you!

For any regular person it would probably be more like 6 months, but I’m a pickle junkie!

Ballsack. He’s not strong enough to be a pussy. 

Yep. That handle is a big tell.

I don’t have photos, but I made pickles (lemon cucumbers make excellent crunchy dills!), processed about 50 pounds of tomatoes, and roasted about 20 pounds of green chile.

Thank you for this reality check. Honestly I think some of my lifestyle choices (drinking, smoking pot), and medical history (mental health treated with medication, high blood pressure), I’m not sure they’d take me.

Thanks for sharing. A concierge would definitely make being sick a bit more palatable. But here’s hoping you don’t!

Thanks for sharing your experience. I had no idea the trial lasted that long, but that makes sense when I really think about it. 
And your last paragraph definitely resonates with me! 

Yep. It may be a non-starter. 

I’ve done a blood pressure check in the waiting room (with my own calibrated manual cuff), and 10 minutes later when the nurse does it, it is higher!
I had one nurse for a while who got to know me, and would talk me down after the first test (which was always high), but I haven’t seen her for a few years. 

I have high blood pressure, exacerbated by white coat syndrome. I don’t know how that will affect my eligibility.
And frankly, if I have to give up alcohol/weed for any length of time (over a month) I’m probably out.
