Please accept this donation as a gift, not a loan.
Your blog is worth much more to me than I can donate at present.
Good luck for the future.
Done. I just managed to land a temporary part time gig and I look at your blog every single day. It’s the least I can do.
Best of luck.
My contribution is a mere token, meant to communicate support and appreciation. It’s the best I can do right now. Warm regards,
Steve

hey John,
can’t contribute much, but can’t lose your blog either. don’t know if you remember me or not. I used to hang at talk origins as “junego”. sorry to hear you’re health is bad (gout!!!). best luck, June.
PayPal wants me to open an account with them. I hate internet registration. Any other way to contribute?
You don’t need to register – I didn’t. In effect is was just like any other credit card payment.
Perhaps someone could help me here:
I push the “Pay Now” button, but nothing happens. Do I miss some plugin or what?
My browser says “Firefox 19.0 Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical 1.0” (whatever that means) on Ubuntu 12.04 Linux.
The code was munged. It’s now fixed.
Yes – seemed to work now. Thanks.
Sent a small token. I’m on a limited budget, but I’ll send something along whenever I can.
Thanks everyone. Your donations, of whatever size, are greatly appreciated.
Considering how much I spend on a bottle of single malt that i finish more quickly than I like to admit (or maybe I’m just shy about bragging, or maybe I just did) I’m happy to send a jingle into the cup.
I recommend you read http://thehumandesign.net and correct your misconceptions before asking for money for your ideas.
