Please return your completed Census Form

[LuvCuteBoys]

think if you only have a post office box # or live in an apartment building-you are the lucky ones who get a Census Worker to call on you

I live in an apartment building and got a form to fill out. Thank goodness. I have no desire to chat with a census worker.

I got one. I filled it out the day I got it and returned it the next day. Today, I got another one.

Well, I guess I'm in the minority here. I got my form a week and a half ago, and it's still sitting on my desk. Haven't filled it out yet.

Sadder yet is a government too stupid to know how to send out Census forms in the first place.

The Census Department had to build a data base of every address in the United States. I don't know about your area, but has changed drastically since the last census 10 years ago.

Last year, I walked block after block after block adding addresses to that they could get forms. Unfortunately, it's not a perfect science and there are going to be problems under the best of circumstances.

The sad thing is, that since you threw the extras in the trash, instead of writing duplicate on them, you will probably be visited by 6 different Census workers looking for responses. LOL

Our area has changed some. However, wouldn't it make more sense to update records on a regular basis by using local tax records or IRS records instead. You know the IRS has everyone's address-you can move but you can't hide from them.

Unfortunately, the IRS does not share information with the Census and the Census does not share information with any other agencies. The only information released is "statistical" information.

I NEVER answer the door if I'm not expecting someone. Most of the people I know are the same way. You never know who is on the other side who may push his way in, once you open the door. Learned that from watching Death Wish, years ago. That is the incident that start that whole series of films. Charles Bronson's family in the movie, was raped & murdered after 2 guys pushed their way in, after the wife unsuspectingly opened the door.

If it's a neighbor needing help, they'll usually be yelling something outside the door, announcing who they are. Police & fire department automatically announce who they are.

That's about right. Spend our money to find out information they already have.

True, true. Recently there was a knock on our door and as I walked to the door I heard "FIRE DEPARTMENT." I looked in the peephole and couldn't believe my eyes.

I opened the door and found the most GORGEOUS Fireman. Yet, it wasn't my birthday... what the deuce...he was there to check on report of smoke in our general area.

Seriously. Firemen that good looking need to shout out "FIRE DEPARTMENT. Sexy fireman here!" for warning. I about fainted. Thank goodness my husband has a good sense of humor.

What were we talking about? Census. Yes, we did ours two weeks ago and sent it off. We didn't think we were going to adopt a child in two weeks' time so we thought were were good to go.

Please send him over here! No fire. Just send him over here. I wonder if he was in one of those Firemen Calendars.

Your fireman reminds me of Ryan from "The Bachelorette. The one Trista married. Where are all these gorgeous firemen who look like that?

Apparently they all work at the Sherman Oaks, CA Fire Department. I swear, this guy could have filled a calendar all by himself.

 

[OK!]

Already done. I wanted to be sure to get mine in before the census people came a-bangin' on the door. I flaked on the last one and ended up having to do the in-person interview, which made me late for an appointment.
