My mum was 30 when she had us. Off topic: After I read Mountain Goat's post I noticed the edit was done by him... |

| I bought some skin treatments online and after the initial transaction, they kept taking money from my account. Hundreds of dollars. Not only that, they didn't send me a thing.

My job there is to hang clothes on a rack, tag them, and then count how many were men's, women's, etc. It's an easy, meditative job. However, it's all changing. I've been asked to pre-sort the donated clothes... |

| I wouldn't say it was bad, but back in 2005 I had general anaesthetic 8 times in three weeks due to having ECT. Every time I woke up with a headache. I don't think it was the anaesthetic though. When I was five I had an eye operation. When I woke up, I threw up spectacularly everywhere. All over my ... |

Thank you. 
There's an age limit I think for donating bone marrow. I get an email once a year with people's stories about donating. It's really inspiring. |
