      • Name someone who has a great voice. A wonderful prompt from Plinky.com!


        Angus and Donald Sutherland

        This is a great prompt! There are two celebrities right now that I'm in love with their voices! The first of which is a long time admiration, Donald Sutherland. He is a good looking older man but I have to say that I prefer to just close my eyes and listen to him. It's not just that it is a sexy voice, but I love the way he enunciates his words and his inflections. I think it is truly the way every man should speak.

        The other great voice is a recent addition to my voice admiration. Dylan Bruno. He is a current celebrity crush from the show Numb3rs, and now he is the voice you hear in all the new Chevy commercials. I absolutely am in love with his voice and I hope that Chevy decides to keep him on as spokesman.

        Anyways, I know this post isn't much but it is a fun prompt. :)

    • Screw Optimist and Pessimist, I'm a Realist

      • Glass of Water

        Dear Optimist & Pessimist -
        Either way you put it, the glass still has the same amount of liquid in it.
        Sincerely
        Realist

        **
        I read that somewhere the other day (cannot remember for the life of me where and by whom, sorry) and I thought that is so awesome. I am a realist myself, and frankly never really got the whole "glass half full/half empty" issue. I have always been a realist. From when I was about the age of 4 and I knew there was NO way that Santa was real and helped my parents do Santa gifts for my younger sister, all the way to now.

        I find that it is a very useful state to be in, realism, because you can't ever really be let down. Take it from someone who has been let down a lot in her life, being realistic is the perfect set because you can't get let down, and then when things do turn out for the better, you can be happy about it!

        <3 you all!

    • Hey 16-Year-Old Me...Listen Up!

      • There are a huge number of things I would say to myself: wear your hair down more, don't care what other people think of you, don't accept the car that was free....and many more. But to be honest, I would tell myself to spend a lot more time with my mom since she would only be around for about 8 more years.

        I spent my teenage years just about the same as every other teenage girl, disliking my mother and fighting all the time. I would go back and tell myself that my mother will only be around for 8 more years and to start preparing for it.

        After I got married at 19, my mother stopped being my eternal enemy. When I got pregnant at 21, my mother became my best friend in the whole world. I then only got 3 years of having my mom be my best friend which wasn't enough.

        Most people get 20 years with their parents as best friends, I was short changed by a lot. I would go back and tell myself to treasure all the time I have with my mother, and not be such a bitch to her.

        I am not saying I would change things, because everything happens for a reason, but if there was something I could say to myself at 16, it would definitely be that.

    • Hah! I Told You So, Didn't I?

      • Rain, Martin Place, Sydney, 1937 / by Sam Hood

        Seriously, I was laying in bed checking my email (reading this prompt actually) when my husband starts swinging the umbrella around. He was talking about the rain when I told him to stop or he'd hit something. No sooner had those words crossed my lips did he smack the closet door with it! Seriously people, that is how my husband operates on a daily basis!

    • Oh the things my kid says...

      • I know I call my kiddo Drama on here quite often, since no other name fits, but here is an example of how she got that nick name!


        Not just any child, I might add...but my daughter. A few months ago she was having apple slices and knocked them onto the floor. I told her that I had to throw them out because now they were dirty. My darling daughter threw herself on to her bed and began wailing "my life is RUINED!"
        I told her, "Your life isn't ruined, you are only two years old!" and she gave me a look that could have killed me were it possible and said "I am almost 3!"

        Can you believe that! All that over some dirty apple slices! It took her forever to calm down. I even told her I would make her some more but she just wouldn't have it!
