PayPal Donation FAQ

So, you're feeling generous eh?  Well, even though I haven't been asked any questions, here's the one's I'd image people would ask.

Q: So now you want money now, what's up with that?
A: Its not like that.  Think of it more as the Internet's first interactive reality show/weblog.

Q: So I give you money . . . then what?
A: First, you tell me what you want it spent on - plants, landscaping, exterior work etc.  Then I spend your money along with mine and neat stuff happens.  Plus you get that warm and fuzzy feeling for helping out a fellow human being.

Q: So what are these categories?
A: Well, I don't have any hard and fast categories so you can use your imagination if you like.  For instance you could say - "here's 29 cents, go replace that mismatched outlet cover".  Otherwise, I imagine some logically groupings would be: flowers, stone for the landscaping stuff, exterior of the house, refinish the floors fund, things like that.

Q: So, you'll post pictures then right?
A: If it is photogenic enough to warrant a picture then of course I will.  Otherwise, I can just send you the pictures too.

Q: Will you publish who gave what then?
A: No, I don't think that is right since it creates some sort of expectation or status.  Unless you say otherwise, I will add you to my as yet unpublished thank you list - perhaps with a star by your name or something. 

Q: I live at the house.  Can I pay my rent this way?
A: Not sure yet.  If I start channeling a lot of money through this, PayPal might start taking some off the top.

Q: Ok, I'm ready.  Now what?
A: Click on the donate button. If you don't have an account with PayPal, you'll have to set one up.  Then at some point during the process, you'll be asked to optionally specify what you want the money to go for.
