Plasma!

Oh the joys of pinching pennies!....not. Recently things have been a little tight financially, so I decided to turn to my dear friend, Google-the solver of all problems. In desperation, I asked my question bluntly: "How can I make money?" And Google, being the oh so wise search engine that it is replied with this answer: http://christianpf.com/ways-for-teens-to-make-money/ . The part I liked about this site was that they weren't a bunch of the really impractical get rich quick solutions. I read down through the list and saw "Sell Plasma". I decided to research this one a little bit and discovered that it is perfectly safe and incredibly practical! Not only am I helping others by donating my possibly life-saving plasma, but I am also making money. So the next step was to see if there was one close by, and sure enough there was! Right at the end of the brown line (which is half an hour away, but that is close for us). I talked to Steven about it and he was for it, so yesterday we took a trip out to Kimbel and donated plasma! It was really an intriguing process. You had to go in and read a bunch of papers, get an exam, they pricked our fingers, weighed us...ect. Then we go into the room where they have a bunch of reclined chairs. They hooked us up and off we went! It was a really weird sensation. When they put the blood back inside with a new liquid to take the place of our plasma it feels cold. For our first time including the exams and paper reading and everything took a couple hours, but when we go back it should only take an hour or so.  I quite enjoyed the process. Steven, on the other hand, confessed as we were walking in, that he just realized he doesn't like needles. It all went well though, and we walked out of the place $60 richer. What makes this even better is that we can do it twice a week! Of course it won't always be that much money, but still, it's more than we had when we walked in. So, in short..(a book later) if you need a practical means of making a little extra money and you are healthy and able to qualify, I would definitely look into this!
