I love choices, so long as they are unimportant. Ask me to choose a new house, new furniture or the winner of the X-Factor and I pick the first one I see, to avoid meltdown. Better yet, I get the Hub to choose: if it all goes wrong, it’s his fault. What you call a win-win situation.
But ask me to participate in a survey or poll, and I’m your man. I never met a doorstep pollster I didn’t invite into my home. I helped redefine the Open University’s website during the 2000s, by my simple yeas or nays to their proffered options. I love knowing that I’m one of the eight out of ten owners who said their cats preferred it.
Imagine my ecstasy, then, when I discovered WordPress had a poll feature. I brought you polls on what I should call my first-born; which Friend you are; what theme I should use; what I should post; when I should post; if should I post polls at all…you said ‘no’ to that last one, so I stopped canvassing your opinion and sulked a bit.
Today, because it’s spring, because I have nothing to write about, and because I really do value your opinion, I bring you a new poll. Ignore it if you want, but remember: you provided the answers in the first place; and if you want to be one of the eight out of ten bloggers who said their readers preferred it, you need to say so.
You received quite a few definitions, you have a loyal and faithful following. That is how it should be, I can’t wait to see the results of the vote.

That was fun. I ignored my own suggestion – others were so much better.

It’s a made-up word, so we are choosing the definition. Or, rather: YOU are choosing the definition.

I typed the word into the search box and it sent me to the Laughing Housewife. Better ask her which one is right. Dianne

So you allow yourself the casting vote in case of a tie?

that was meant to be ‘Do’ not ‘so’ – (there’s no markings on the keyboard any more over ASDF. Also missing is this letter: C. Not much left of L and H either.)
