It's very interesting to see what organizations people support. I'd list mine, but as I mentioned, my organizations have tended to be small and I'd rather stay unidentifyable. I will probably list some details but not name the specific organizations. MCT: Thanks for sharing that link. It’s very interesting to see what organizations people support.

What I am curious about is if anyone puts their actual amounts up. Here's my son's list, fyi - he's pretty lefty too! http://divinityisinthedetails.blogspot.com/search?q=temple+tithes TBH, My son also has a list of all the places he donated to in 2006.

It's hard to do, and I've had a few slip-ups. At this point, 3 offline friends of mine read my blog, that I know about anyway. One found it after I told her I wrote an anonymous PF blog (now I occasionally tell people I write an anonymous blog but don't tell them what it's about). One wheedled it out of me and I still regret telling her about it because I don't think the comments she leaves are relevant or useful, and because her financial habits are very different from mine and it has made things akward for her to know how much $$ I earn, spend and save. And I told one friend outright. I do worry about my family finding it, so I try to keep my comments about my family reasonably polite. I also think it would be too bad if an employer found it. I have no idea what your real name is, but I do know your approximate age (same as mine), your profession, or at least what you did for work when you were in grad school, and the town you live in. I'm sure you know about the same number of random facts about me. Weird, these online identities. It's almost like having a split personality.

(My husband nixed the idea for our family, but I like the idea.)

My mom found out and she kinda called my entire extended family and told them. I barely managed to get it out of the Christmas letter! (She was very proud of me.) Dude.
