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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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.

I'm a little hesitant to fill out the census stuff. I worry that a V for Vendetta scenario could happen in which the govt. could round up all teh gays. Paranoid much?

I'm the exact opposite and was totally psyched to fill out my census form. I'm buying into the Be Counted hype.

I want to yell at Noah and remind him he should be asleep by now.

The status is NOT quo.

I don't have a census form yet. Why not?
