I have a question...
What would YOU do?

I bought someone a star today...

Should I say something in the thread where they acknowledge having received the star?

Or should I just PM?

I can't decide...

:shrug:

:hi:

2. My dear auntAgonist!
I could do that, of course!

But on the occasions where I've told them, they were so pleased and happy!

I'm torn!

:hi: back atcha!

3. You should call them up and ask to borrow their lawnmower
After all, they do owe you... :)

4. What do you want to do?
I've bought someone a star before (but not this time because I'm hording $ until after my move) and because my intention was to be anonymous I did neither because I didn't want them to know it was me. But...that's me, I dislike attention for my good works.

Given the choices...I'd PM. Let them publicly acknowledge and honor you if they choose.

7. My dear Chan790...
I do want to tell them...

My struggle is over whether to do it publicly, or privately...

I like your ideas!

Thank you...

5. Up to you...I know when I've been fortunate enough to have someone
donate in my name, I've been THRILLED to be able to say "thank you" specifically to the right (uh, sorry...LEFT!) person!
But that's just me...I would PM I guess rather than respond in the thread...

8. I donate anonymously.
I figure if I make a big deal of it, it's more about me than the person getting the star. But, each to his or her own.

14. My dear Inchworm!
Good for you!

And you know me...I just have to toot my own horn! :P

I don't always let whoever it is know, though...

But I like to let them know if I see them wondering out loud about who was it...


:hi:
