I'm registered to donate, they won't take them unless I get an expensive genetic test. My brother just passed away, and they wouldn't let him donate anything because we had an aunt a couple of generations ago who had Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (a prion disease that causes dementia)

I can't stand micromanagement
My cat pretends he's starving to death. Every day. Even though I just fed you, Mojo
