Why didn't you leave the old one alone and have a new one called Census 2018 ?.  Maybe some one would have rememberd the year of the 1st one and then you are creating an intereasting record.  I don't think  it is usual to just destroy a census.  Oh well, never mind, I suppose.

P.S.  How many members are there ?

The reason I did it was to get some engagement from the membership. If engagement continues to fall like it is then the forum will have to shut up shop in a couple of years and the demographic of the membership will be meaningless.

Can we push the forum on Facebook (if you are not already doing so)? Or do we have to let the rules slip so the less desirables (currently) are attracted? They are a demographic as well!  :grin:

It's interesting that from 51 to 75 years old we get what looks like a normal distribution! :grin:

That's because our age group is the most "normal".  Everyone else is abnormal.

Calling me normal is a bit farfetched.  :grin:

We're putting more rock down to cover our parkway. The neighbor came over and offered up about 4 wheelbarrows' worth of rocks and flagstone. I got two of them across the street, but I'm waiting for one of my sons to get home from work to move the rest. She wants them gone, and doesn't want any money. I'll do something nice, though. It's about $200 worth of rocks. I'm getting too old (68) for that sort of heavy lifting. I used to be able to do it all day long. I'm sitting here with a back brace on waiting for the naproxen to kick in so I can go get a shower.

In the end!? I'm not going to go into the state of my hemorrhoids, except to say that they got me in the end, too.  :-[

I'll have you know I'm not normal.  Normal people watch those stupid sitcoms on TV.  I never want to be normal...

I'll weigh in and say that, yes a lot of people watch sitcoms. Not sure what is "normal" with that, but I quit watching that shit decades ago. I got married in '81, and my bride had to ask her parents for an old B&W TV that they had in their attic, because I wouldn't buy a new TV. We weren't "poor" even though I was the only wage earner at the time. TV programming is shit, as far as I am concerned, and has been so for 50 years, by my estimate. There is, of course, good programming, but from the shit I see, most of it is not. I believe that there was a documentary called "The Stupefaction of America" that described the problem. Maybe it was a written document, idunno, and can't be bothered to go look...TV is mostly shit.
