Totally.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

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."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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

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?

I know there is some other reason I'm on the computer, but I can't recall what it is. I'm getting dumber and dumber. I blame children.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I still doing my rewatch of Criminal Minds. The last ep I watched was the one where they introduced NB's character, which made me even more sad for him. Now it's the one with Frankie Muniz, which makes me hide behind the computer screen.
