So Very Sorry

I am so very sorry that I simply cannot devote time to this blog and you wonderful people. It's a shame, but there it is.

Remember that I'm on Facebook, and we can always stay in touch that way. I will check this blog periodically for any messages/requests.

I have a new job and for the first time in a very long time, my personal life gives me great happiness. So unfortunately there just isn't enough time in the world for everything.

I wish you all health, good fortune, and joy and beg you to stay in touch.

Census Phone Call Follow-Up

I got a call yesterday from the Census bureau. They wanted to follow up and ask additional questions. When they told me I HAD to take their call and it was part of the census, I grew infuriated.

As I pointed out, I'd read nothing about that and it certainly hadn't been mentioned on the census. I'm betting it's not illegal to refuse to answer any additional questions when you've already completely and accurately filled out the questionnaire and sent it in.

Besides, what a great con job it would be if someone called supposedly from the Census Bureau, and asked additional questions (such as your social security number, bank account number, etc.) I wonder how many people would fall for that?

I get a little antsy - I like my privacy. What can I say?

In the end, I chose not to stand on principle and I answered their questions.

What a sell-out!
