What's your Dad like? My Dad really enjoyed reading bedtime stories to my sister and me when we were kids. Dr. Seuss is one my father's favorite children's authors.

My Dad is also a math whiz, and a lover of life’s littlest details. You know the kind. He’s the sort of guy who runs random calculations in his head—just for the fun of it. One of his favorite grown-up books is the World Almanac and Book of Facts. He calls it his book of "little known facts of little interest." Funny, eh?
Chrysalis Demographics: Age
In the spirit of my father's "little known facts of little interest" I’m presenting the following data. (Inquiring minds want to know, right?) The results of two recent surveys held on this blog are in. The first? Age. When asked to identify their generation, 32 readers kindly answered:
• 0%.... Silent (1925-1945)
• 34%... Baby Boomers (1946-1964)
• 43%... Gen X, Busters (1965-1980)
• 18%... Gen Y, Next, or Millenials (1981-1995)
• 3%..... Gen Z (1996-2010)
Chrysalis Demographics: Working Moms
The recession has sent a lot of SAHMs back to work. SAHMS are a smaller group in the population to begin with, and I was curious to know the current working status of the Mommy readership here at Chrysalis. This is how 59 generous readers responded:
• 59%... Stay-at-home Mom (29)
• 10%... Work-at-home-Mom (6)
• 15%... Part-time working Mom (9)
• 10%... Full-time working Mom (6)
• 5%... Sole-Bread-winning Mom (3)
• 10%... Other (6)

More numbers! Some of you are new readers at Chrysalis, and you might not have seen a few of the more popular articles here. If you have an interest (and a spare 30 minutes) take a look at the top 13 most googled and StumbledUpon posts.

COOL Ice Cream Giveaway
One last thing... Crickl at Crickl's Nest is the winner of my $25 Ice Cream Giftcard Giveaway. She's a wonderful PW (pastor's wife) and sudoku-lover living somewhere out there in Arizona's hot Valley of the Sun. I've decided to throw in an extra bonus to thank Crickl for being such a faithful commenter and blogging friend. How about a new crockpot for your kitchen sweet 'ums? Read about Crickl's work with foreign refugees here.
That.is.all. Thanks for participating in my surveys, and have a wonderful weekend!

I think this is the first time I have read your blog....I am going to go read your list (I am especially looking forward to the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles one)
Happy TT!
WOW!!
You are so funny, giving me a crockpot. You're a good listener. lol I will love it! And my family and I will love the ice cream!
Thank you so much e-mom. I hope we get that visit some day. Maybe I'll take you out for ice cream. ;)
Love you and God bless e-mom's e-zine.
Hey, what's the difference between a "stay at home mom" and a "work at home mom" ?? :-)

Hi!!!
I haven't stopped by in awhile and I am catching up on all the great reads over here!!! keep up the good work!
Gina @www.heldbythefather.blogspot.com
interesting post! thanks for sharing it!
I love stats, too. The Susannah Wesley post is how I found your site the first time.
I am surprised to see a lot from my generation here... blogs are so commonly talked about amongst my peers thought so I guess that makes sense.
Tracie: Hi! Thanks for stopping by today. Enjoy the "Favs." I'll be over to visit you soon. :~D
Crickl: You deserve a crockpot and more... thanks again for your sacrificial service in the name of Christ. Giftcards will be in the mail to you soon.
Jennifer: Chuckle, chuckle. OK, you got me on that one... how about pay. The difference between the two is earned spendable income. I've done both... :~D
Gina: Nice to meet you, and thanks for your thoughts. I'll visit you soon. :~D
Amydeanne: So you like numbers? :~D
April: Really? Did you google Susannah Wesley?
Mac an Rothiach: LOL, so you think I'm an old lady, do you? (Just kidding) Yes, there's a diversity of ages here. I'm so blessed to know younger women like you. :~D
