Donated blood today and they asked if I would do a "double donation" (I guess due to the demand around the holidays). So I said sure and about 20 minutes into it, my lips started vibrating, which is kind of close to your teeth itching but probably not that close.

Oh, and on the way home after visiting the Red Cross, I saw a white placard duct-taped to the pole of a red-light camera which read "Orwell Was Right" (scrawled in black magic marker).

Was an interesting day, for sure. As for itchy teeth, maybe try some warm coffee or tea. If the warmth doesn't help alleviate the itching then go the opposite and try some ice cream. Just my two Euro's.

Vibrating lips...now that would be interesting. I never got that when I donated blood.

I used to donate regularly - they even used to call me during critical times, but the Blood Bank doesn't want my blood anymore.

Something to do with certain stamps in my passport. ;-)

Love the sign on the traffic-light camera. I'd like to buy that person a beer.
