Sure you can buy tee shirts.  It is wonderful that so many want to donate. Please don't, there is no need.
if you want to buy me a new yacht, ok!

Jerry,
  This is my reply to your post under the pond section. I decided it should be here also.


  Do not return them (donations). There's no reason why you and/or Sean should be covering the cost of this forum, especially with what you've both had to deal with the past couple of days. If members didn't want to show their appreciation by helping cover the expenses they wouldn't have done so.
  I think this is the least we can do to support this forum. Heck....maybe there is something you guys can add to the website with the donations being sent in above what covers the actual expenses or maybe some other good ideas will strike someone.

Just an idea, Keep the money and send a tee shirt to the poster of the month for free.
If you are uncomfortable with taking money from people, this is a worthy way to use it. Or perhaps someone else has a better idea?

One that reduces your shirt inventory...

Okay may I ask, why have a donation button if you won't accept donations????????

Jerry, those that don't want to contribute won't .. it's that simple.

Those that do, just want to show some appreciation.....

Good Q Bonnie, let me think...uh uhh ok, I thought we might need it and that is ok, It was just the situation here that made us look so desperate.  We are fine. Now, no more questions! @O@ @O@
