    Children's Shows

    And now, time for The Poll of The Week. Granted, it has been more than a week since my last poll, so I should really call this feature The Poll of The When Ever I Feel Like Posting a Poll. Doesn't roll off the tongue as well, does it?

    This weeks question: What children's show do you really, really hate? The show that just makes you totally crazy... The show that, just thinking about having to watch puts you in a cold sweat... There are lots of truly horrible children's shows, but for you, what is the worst of the worst and why?

    Allowance

    One day, The Moo Girl and Jill-O were chatting. Jill-O asked The Moo Girl, "If you had all the allowance in the world what would you buy?"

    The Moo Girl replied, "If I had all the allowance in the world, I would make everything soft. That way, I could be as wild as I wanted to be and if I fell, I would not hurt myself. If everything was soft, I could climb all the way up there and jump and it wouldn't hurt when I landed!

    Poll of the Week: What would you buy with all the allowance in the world?

    Herding Animals

    I am adding a new feature to my blog! I am calling it (drum roll) the Poll of the Week! Random questions frequently pop in my head and I would like to get your, the reader's, opinions these questions. I don't know if I will get a new poll every week, but that is the current plan! I look forward to reading your response and as time goes on, don't hesitate to respond to old polls. Now, without further ado, this week's poll:

    What do you think would be the hardest animal to herd?

    As I have given this questions much thought over the last couple weeks, I think that it is important to establish what it means to herd. T. Dum has stated that herding rocks would be a challenge. That is an unsatisfiying answer to me, and after looking up the definition, I have found that it doesn't fit!

    Herding is the act of bringing individual animals together into a group (herd), maintaining the group and moving the group from place to place—or any combination of those. While the layperson uses the term "herding", most individuals involved in the process will call it "working stock" or "moving" and not herding.

    Herding can be performed by people or trained animals such as herding dogs. Some animals instinctively gather together as a herd while some predators, such as wolves and dogs have instinctive herding abilities. Herding can also be done using wire through which electricity is sent.

    Herding is used in agriculture to manage domesticated animals. The people whose occupation it is to herd or control animals often have herd added to the name of the animal they are herding to describe their occupation (shepherd, goatherd, cowherd). These -herds may use dogs to assist them and a competitive sport has developed in some countries where the combined skill of man and dog is tested and judged in a Trial.

    Sushi

    As I sit here and eat my delicious lunch of Sushi, it strikes me as odd that this Sushi was purchased at the grocery store. In fact, Sushi is so popular in the Seattle area that most grocery stores employee Sushi chefs. Is that odd? Is it a Seattle "thing"?

    This is my poll:

    Where do you live?
    Can purchase fresh Sushi at the grocery store?
