3. No, but that's been in my Netflix queue for years.

For the longest time, it was listed as "unknown". Now it's advanced to "Very long wait".

Seen it?

5. Wow!!!!!

I'm Rh negative and got Rhogam shots before and after I delivered. I remember when we were growing up, my mom thought my sister was the only Rh negative. So my mom would say things about how my sister would be at risk and could only have one baby etc. etc. (Glad I didn't know I was Rh negative. Didn't need to hear my mom's gloom and doom!)

I found out I was Rh negative when I was pregnant, fortunately Rhogam was common place by then.

Much of the credit goes to this guy!! Totally amazing!!!

6. My hat's off to him - he's got to stay healthy

and all that to keep on donating.

2.2 million kids? WOWEEEEE!!!
Probably been giving since 1954 so 64 years? Holy cow.

He should get some kind of super recognition like from the UN.
