Jon Stewart is killing it tonight, Glenn Beck style.

Right, yeah he needs private things and secret things. I find candy wrappers and such stuffed here and there and that goes by with nothing. He has secrets he tells the therapist and babysitters and that I do not mess with. That was bad wording on my part. I want him to not to have hidden this and I want him to have decided to give it up.

I found it anyway. He had taken it out of the packaging which made it a thing about the size of a stamp. I found another one also, one I had never known he had. he may have a hoarding problem with ds games (kidding). No idea what happened to the packaging (size of a CD case), which would have been helpful in returning it. oh well.

Totally.

Okay, well I'm glad you found it. I wish he had decided to give it up.

I am puzzled by the census. Question 1 is "How many people were living or staying in this house, apartment, or mobile home on April 1, 2010?" Then Question 2 is "Were there any additional people staying here April 1, 2010 that you did not include in Question 1?" If you check off any of the boxes for Question 2, then doesn't that mean that your answer to Question 1 is wrong?

Hil, meaning that the person is a permanent resident though they may be temporarily residing somewhere else. It makes perfect sense within the ideas of a person in a nursing facility or a kid at college. Which they said not to include in question 1.

But if those things apply to you, I assume you would have that figured out already.

And it's been a doublecheck since 1880.

But it's asking for people who were staying here, not people who weren't. Question 1 says "count all people, including babies, who live and sleep here most of the time," and then among the options for Question 2 are "Children, such as newborn babies or foster children," and "Nonrelatives, such as roommates or live-in baby sitters," both of which seem like they ought to be included in the count for question 1. The only choice for Question 2 that doesn't seem like they should count for Question 1 is "People staying here temporarily."

You might have either children or roommates who live there but aren't there most of the time. Maybe?

And it's been a doublecheck since 1880.

So that's what the next question, asking for your phone number if they need additional information, is for? So that if people check off anything other than "People staying here temporarily" or "No additional people," the census can call and count those people?
