12763710, What are 10 things everyone should know about their S.O.?

My 10 are as follows (in no particular order):

1. parents names
2. d.ob.
3. place of birth
4. favorite food
5. allergies
6. favorite song
7. favorite color
8. political leanings
9. blood type
*10. ssn

*depends on how long you've been together and whether your married/cohabitating

12763728, what the hell yo

Why don't you know your blood type??

My mom made us learn it when we were around 9 or 10, around the same time she made us learn everybody's SSN. She always said you never know when you'll have an emergency and need that info.
12763738, I honestly don't even know how to find out. Doubt my parents even know..

I never really understood the importance of knowing it honestly... I always here it's something you should know....

12763746, from years of watching medical shows:

if ever you're in need of a transfusion, giving you the wrong type of blood can cause an adverse reaction.


From the internets:
An ABO incompatibility reaction can occur if you are given the wrong type of blood during a blood transfusion. It is a rare, but serious and potentially fatal, response by your immune system to incompatible blood.
12763756, cool..not disputing it's necessity...just didn't know. Can they not test on the spot
Posted by FLUIDJ, Thu Mar-26-15 10:56 AM
on the spot?


"Seasons may come and your luck just may run out, and all that you'll have is some memories..."
12763760, I think they do
Posted by JellyBean, Thu Mar-26-15 10:58 AM
but again, from years of watching medical shows, they always yell for O-neg, but I think people with like a or b and the like can't use O-neg....Damnit Jim, I'm a caseworker not a Doctor!
12763779, They ALWAYS test for blood types in cases of transfusions but
Posted by StephBMore, Thu Mar-26-15 11:08 AM
O neg is actually the universal donor. so they call for that because anyone positive, negative, or A,B, or O can get that type of blood with little to no issues.

on the flip side, O neg ppl can only get O neg blood.

but if ppl ever want to know, they always type you when you donate blood.
12763732, lol me either.

these determine if you make S.O. status lol
12763745, to you maybe
Posted by BabySoulRebel, Thu Mar-26-15 10:51 AM
but there are plenty of women out here NOT asking these questions
I don't even assume people are single when I go out on dates
I outright ask plus a follow-up question if they say they are:
is there anyone who would be upset if they heard you say that you're single?
Giving snakes enough room to maneuver is not what I'm here for.
12763755, it amazes me how
Posted by JellyBean, Thu Mar-26-15 10:55 AM
people are still not asking about std's in 2015!

I just don't understand people who play with their life like that. That's like the 3rd question I ask after what is your full name and are you single.
