I’ve already tried everything. They are not coming back... I’ve been crying for most of the morning. Oh well

Oh dear, so sorry you lost them! Hugs.

So my rooster somehow called them back. Probably because I was a blubbering mess! They were at the fence just now and my husband caught all 4... the buff silkie was with them. We put them back in the shed brooder because they’re getting out somehow but no one else is.

So I put the kids down as German, Polish and Hispanic and felt better. But I want to know WHY. Why do we keep categorizing ourselves in these divisive ways? I just want us all to put Race: HUMAN, and Ethnicity, AMERICAN. I can see the government wanting to know how many people live in a city, in a county, in a township, a district, a state, etc. But this other information is ...... just wrong, in my opinion.

Yeah I felt the same. I even asked a friend (who was going to do some census taking work until Covid happened) if it was normal to get grilled over race because I really don't remember them asking so many person questions in the previous census, and no, I don't see how it's relevant at all to deciding where election representation goes, or grant dollars for programs, etc.

I think I wrote in "euro mutt" for hubby since no one in his family knows what they are anyhow.

Has anyone else found that being home has made you more introverted, reclusive or preferring to be a loaner? Have any of you had anxieties about returning to work and ‘real life’?

I've always preferred being a homebody so it doesn't bother me at all - really very little is different for me other than needing to wear a mask and not being able to eat out for 2 1/2 months. Hubby misses his coworkers but he's allowed to work from home the rest of the year, so really no reason for anyone to be going in simply to socialize.

There was a space to just not answer the 'genetic' questions on the census, so just don't answer if you don't want to. I thought it was intrusive too, and left some unanswered.
Besides, who really knows?

I should have skipped some I guess too.
Did mine online and think I could have chosen "other" for a few questions but it wanted you to specify I think. Can't remember. I was trying to be a "good" citizen and answer what I did know, but I don't remember previous ones asking so much.
Now the farm surveys...that's a different story.
