I don't why but I still seem to be confused on what those of us who are pledging matching funds are supposed to do.
I haven't seen the answer to similar questions that I have.
When are we supposed to contribute the matching funds we pledged for the donations made? How do we "notate" them?
I put this on the other thread as well

Q3, how is this working? Are we donating our marching funds in blocks? Where are we now? I'm wondering too. Looks like I am next to be matched. Do we then go over and donate our matching dollars? What do we put in the wording. |

What do we put in the wording. I posted this on the other thread too: What I've read here is that if you are further down the list you can wait to donate until later tonight. Fan of the Man, Smokeyvera, Whatasay are next in line. I don't know where we are in terms of needing matches right now because we don't have someone counting as we go and reporting totals regularly, which would be a really good thing. The first 10 matchers have already put in their pledge, so that should cover about 200 donors, which I think is close to where we are. I'd do the counting and reporting every 30 minutes or so myself, but I have to go out until later tonight. However if you need/want to donate earlier, put 'leap day challenge matching funds - theosgma' or something in the comments, make your donation, and on the spreadsheet write ' matched' next to your name: docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AosiFD9HWw20dFZleHJUTG00cVQtc285dms2ZWdUckE#gid=0__________________________________________________ We need as many donors as possible to keep up momentum, it's slowed a little. Encourage people to put in $5 or less, forgo their afternoon coffee  Or break up a larger donation into smaller bites.
we are offering matches for 1000 donations, but so far we have a little less than 200 donations, let's see what we can do to raise that number! |

What do we put in the wording. It doesn't seem we're being very exact about it at this point, which I think is fine. The easiest way to do it, it seems to me, is that when you're next in the spreadsheet matching queue ( docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AosiFD9HWw20dFZleHJUTG00cVQtc285dms2ZWdUckE#gid=0), which it seems you are, FanoftheMan, then count to see if there have been twenty donations since the last MATCH comment, and if there have, go ahead and donate, and write "LEAP DAY MATCH--fanoftheman" in the comments, and MATCHED by your name on the google spreadsheet. Then when there have been about twenty more donations, then next matcher on the list can donate. (I say twenty donations because it looks like basically all the donations are at least $5--yay!--so it would take twenty to require a $100 matching donation. If you're matching with $200, then wait for 40 donations, of course.) THANKS! ETA: put a little more succinctly ;D, FanoftheMan--yup, you're up, put "LEAP DAY MATCH--fanoftheman" in the comments on the charity:water page, and put "MATCHED" by your name on the google spreadsheet. Smokeyvera's next, and then Whatyasay.  |

www.pressparty.com/pg/newsdesk/adamlambert/view/41698/Adam Lambert hailed as one of the 3 greatest vocalists by Meat Loaf Iconic rock singer Meat Loaf has praised the vocal ability of 'Whataya Want From Me' superstar Adam Lambert and confessed he is "jealous" of the young singer's talent. In a new interview with ITV's Daybreak (February 29), the 'Bat Out Of Hell' hitmaker explained that there are only 3 vocalists in his opinion who can do the "overdrive" technique and named Lambert as one of them: "There's only 3 singers that I've ever thought in life that have this ability to do what is called an 'overdrive'. One is Aretha (Franklin), one is Whitney (Houston) and there's a singer named Adam Lambert - a young kid - that has this overdrive, and I'm really jealous of those people."

illuxxia: " In the beginning of our relationship I was so very nervous, wondering a lot if this would last, but now it feels very good"I believe this is part from the Swedish interview  Damn. Why oh why was I so lazy at school?! I don't understand any swedish AT ALL. Idk why I've always thought that Sweden and Finnish are similar languages and those two peoples understand each other without any major difficulties  |

Q3, how is this working? Are we donating our marching funds in blocks? Where are we now? Total is now $57,867 LEAP DAY DONORS ARE MATCHED TO #11! Aloha, we will certain have a match thru #18 by midnight Pacific Time but if you can wait until you are matched it would be best. That will keep the momentum of increasing the donor amount going. We have 13 donors who have notified me that they intended to do the match but did it a bit early. We will match these so add 13 to the total of matchees for calculations. I will be away for a while because I have to work. :( But the number keeps rising!!  |

Q: Do people flirt with you when you're out (clubbing)?
A: I'm not going out that much. And no one is flirting with me. But on the other hand I'm not that responsive to it either. Are you flirting with me?

I am a bit (in fact a lot) confused about what the system is with "Leap Day Challenge". But I just made a donation.  |
