I filled mine out. But I wore my tin foil hat when I was doing it so they couldn't find me.


Did the hat work?

I asked on mine did my dogs count as fur people?
Seriously tho, I'd like to know actually how many domesticated aniumals are out there compared to statistics.


Oh I wish!! There'd be one heck of a write-off for the fur and feathered kids around here, and that's not the agricultural exemptions either!

It's very relevant to the funds and resources that will be allocated to the area in which you live. And, if you don't fill it out you can expect a visit from the Census Bureau.

I haven't gotten a second one in the mail and there are no "Men in Black" standing outside my door.

They won't be going door to door until May. You can find out all this information on their website.

One....let em show up and I'll politely tell them to get the hell off my property.

Two....a GPS system doesn't even acknowledge my house. My address shows up on a GPS as a house about a mile down the road from me. They can have fun finding my house.

Okay, whatever. Seems like you're making a big deal out of nothing.

I wish it was more organized than that.
I delivered them in mid March. Then another on April first. I filled mine out and sent it in. Yet the other day I had a note on my door from a census worker saying they missed me and a number I can contact them at to do the census, So would that mean I would be counted 3 times? Seems a bit unorganized to me.

I didn't say they were efficient. laugh

By the way, you can keep yourself from being counted 3 times. Just tell them when you talk to them.

Hummm did not see it was such a big deal all I had to fill out was the names & birth dates of the ones living at my house and if they were male or female no biggie. Filled it out and sent it back the next day........ :thumbsup:

it's very important to fill it out...even if it feels like an inconvenience.

took me five minutes, tops.

however, i listed all of as "human" for race...
