ali, you want like....an online ledger? so you can see who gave what, and when?

Aliantha · 03-16-2008, 07:11 PM

No. Just trying to guilt some of the non contributors into getting involved. What else is this thread for?

I think we all know who you are.

Hand-to-mouth post-grad student here. If I get the highly paid [Deloitte|Accenture|PwC|foobar] consulting gig they're trying to aim me at after I finish, then I'll be able and willing to contribute a 50-gallon drum of high-quality beans :P

Sorry I was late. Not the best of months for me.

Dudes, this site maybe USA-based, but it is very international. I would love it if we could try and adopt a more international philosophy about charitble donations. Don't "guilt people", just remind them the option is there. Don't explain yourself if you can't donate right now -there's no need, we love you regardless. It's actually better to tip big occasionally than a a small amount on a regular bais because there is a processing charge per transaction.

Just be yourself, and when something you read here touches you, remember that that post was sponsored by posters like you

Aliantha · 03-16-2008, 11:46 PM

Well either people did feel guilty or they just noticed the reminder, but the tip jar is substantially fuller now than it was before.

I don't really care what motivates people, as long as they do what they know is right.

sez you. i set my credit union's bill payer feature to automatically mail a check from jinx and i every month. I don't know if it's big or small, but it never forgets. tony DOES have to get off his ass and go deposit them, however.

So here the chargw is Tony going to the bank. Better every month or less often if overall income is the same?

The month of March, and the tip mug, seem to be running neck and neck.

xoxoxoBruce · 03-27-2008, 05:17 AM

Ooh, coming down to the wire. Will this month be the first failure?

Oughta get a feature that when you mouse over the mug, it shows how much you need to fill it the rest of the way in one of those little popup mouse box thingies

Or maybe it would show who has not contributed.
