It would be nice if these sorts of things appeared on the books as a donation (he could possible get a tax benefit too). That way our income and expenses are reflected more accurately, and we can make decisions with better knowledge. As it is, I can only guess what our expenses would be if Robin was no longer funding us (and we should always be aware of the possibility that any of us might leave the scene - something my own health situation has brought home rather strongly in recent months - or lose financial security and be unable to fund things like Robin has done). lojbab
