Guess we need to be counted again. It is important to participate. Sharing this gem from SNL

I think I found my roommate!

Shame, it doesn't have closed captioning, can't hear what they're saying. I bet I missed a lot of gems.

 

[Sunny]

Marie, that was hilarious!

 

[Ruthanne]

I just got mine today. Took me about a minute to do it online. Yes, I had nothing else better to do atm...

 

[Pecos]

Yes, I will do it.

 

[Marlene]

Haven't gotten one yet, but will do it. Yes since it is used to make decisions about the disbursement of federal funds and to track population size, diversity, and movement.

Yes, I am aware of that, too.

 

[C'est Moi]

Of course.

 

[Pepper]

It's the law to do it. I was a census worker 20 years ago and would track people down if necessary, and sometimes it was. The Census is in the Constitution!

Absolutely. And why not? (At least, for me.)

@Catlady Sorry about no CC. I thought You Tube had it.

I got my census form in the mail today. Guess we can do it online. They give the address, and a code to enter in. I will do it over the weekend.

Yes, it does. I did that at that website. Very simple questionnaire.

I was an in the field Census taker, way back when. Interesting work.

Fill out your Census forms, folks. It IS the law, last time I checked.

Marie, that was hilarious, I was crying with laughter... Betty white is a genius even now at her grand old age..

Received 2 Census forms today because I have two homes on my property, with different addresses. One we live in, the other one is vacant that my deceased mother use to live in and is only used occasionally for company visiting for short periods of time.

So, I read the directions; it's states if no one resides at that residence, to call the number on page 8. Which I did. The guy I'm having this conversation with, tells me I need to call the 800 number on page 8. "What 800 number," I said. "The only number on page 8 is the number I just called and am now speaking to you!" He was totally confused. Put me on hold to go ask someone else what to do. Comes back, tells me to log into the website or call the 800 number. I laughed. Told him, "I would be writing 'vacant resident' across the census and mailing it back to you today. He got excited and states, "YES, you can do that!"

I made sure I also added to the 'vacant resident' notice across the form, his name, time I spoke with him and date.

What a joke!

Mine came today. Don't like it I have to go on line to fill it out.

With the previous census, I got the forms & didn't know what they were, thought it was junk mail & threw it away.
Several weeks later, a guy on a bicycle showed up at my locked front gate & started asking me questions. I still wasn't clear on what a "census" was & I didn't like his questions because some of them sounded like questions a burglar would like to ask, so I asked him to leave (politely, the first time). Later, I did some research & verified who he was & the answers are required by law. When he came back, I was nice to him.

I got the form in yesterday's mail & did it online. No real nosy questions about income, except if my house has a mortgage.
