Not too long ago, we received donations from some very wonderful individuals, Billy from Ireland and Sharon from California. Your unprompted generosity is truly amazing. You two are exempt from this here groveling.
To the rest of youse, it’s time to renew our hosting contract at the low, low price of $300.00.
We’ve never made any money, and we never plan to; even our ads only generate about $1.25 per week, and apparently Google won’t let us get our grubby hands on that cash until we max out at $100 in ad revenue (2009, at this rate).
Your donation will help to keep the site running for two more years, so if any of you lovely subscribers or visitors feel like your wallets or handbags are too heavy, please mosey on to the button below and donate a buck or two to The Owl & The Bear.
Many thanks!
