According to the letter I received yesterday, my opinion represents the
opinion of one thousand others! ( :roll: . :roll: )
I received a letter from Gallup polls and they helped make me richer! By a
WHOPPING one dollar (US currency)! ( :roll: . :roll: . :roll: )
They wanted to know if I thought I was doing well, was I depressed (said
NO, no matter how I feel), do I feel we are doing better than a few years
ago (with the change in Presidents, it HAS to be an improvement), what
sex does it say on my birth certificate and do I "identify" with it (sheesh!),
and a bunch of other yawners.
Several of them were transparent as to what they were really looking for,
so I went with what I thought and folded in a fudge factor to the sliding
scale. - - If it IS actually from Gallup, then 95% of what I said is true. If
it is a ploy to do something else, I weighted it toward a more conservative
opinion.
The last item on the form was a space to put in my E-mail address. I
decided to not provide it, just in case they were willing to spend a dollar,
just to get another E-mail address. I used [email protected]. If they
try to use that, they will find something they didn't want.
It's amazing how much time you can waste when you are retired. :roll:
