House by the Sea

your house by the sea. You are a dreamer and an optimist, a creative force to be reckoned with - all traits that make you a person I'd want to befriend. I've enjoyed spending time with you here at the old public radio quest. Mostly it was me watching you, reading your posts and luxuriating in your kindness. If you ever get that house, let me know. I'd love to come visit.
Good luck,
Theresa

I could really imagine the dream. Your voice transported me there. The breathiness and smoothness made me lean in to hear more. My dream is by a lake---I'll be sure to invite you so YOU can have the same wonderful experience you have given me when I listened and imagined. Thanks for the journey.

Can you make me a tape where you tell me all kinds of wonderful bedtime stories...have you thought about audio books?

Have a listen to me if you get a chance...

Thanks for the great, great, awesome limericks! Thanks for you brilliant entry! Your voice has a wistful, but wise, youthful and intelligent and beautiful quality and delivery. Your story is very playful and fun and is a great starting point for discussing roles and sacrifice and relationships of all sorts. You definitely have lots of skill and experience! I love the music in the background, too!

And thanks for the wonderful comment on my post! Unfortunately, you may have given me a little more credit than I deserve. I'm not quite a psychology person. Thanks for the info on EMDR, that's really cool to know!

I enjoyed listening to you.

This is a terrific NPR piece. Your insights are spot on, wry and very easy to listen to. Brava!

I feel like you're sharing secrets.

I want to be on this show. ...and I want my smart guy to be really hot! I hope they broadcast it during prime time in my hometown. I think they have cable now, but this is network material.

This was great, I realized early on that men and women are at a disadvantage in the middle class, we have a long way to go to get to equality for the sexes, the real issue centers around the ability of the family to break through the glass ceiling seperating the Elite from the poor. Raising children isn't expensive providing food and housing along with getting to and from work add to the day to day grind that force people into the work force. Is it better that two should bring home the bacon sending our little ones off to be trained by people that don't have our same values? People that will complain our children aren't like the other children... Of course my children have higher standards to attain, that is how we taught them to behave. The problem is that when I finally made my way to a decent job that very job would result in other problems leading both my wife and I into a dual income situation paying a mortgage on one house and renting another. Talk about suddenly becomming house poor, we barely got by before. Can those genius men you seek be, Lawyers and Politicians? People that are derelict in their duties to protect our society from bullies and abuse? House work can be a chore, or it can be a labor of love depending on how you approach the subject, I need to create a system to house cats keeping them safe from outside predators and creating a better environment for us and them. I would like cats more if they were easier to maintain, how about a cat house by the sea?

Peace and Blessings,

Sincerely,

Gary

and throw those knuckleheads in the ocean, down at the house by the sea. And then ladies, mix up some margaritas and que up some good tunes.

I do windows! And gardening. And childcare. I also cook a bit when there are others around to complement (sic) the chef. References available on request.

for "Lindas - House by the Sea"

hive fives - great job my dear!

I know you weren't talking to me but it sure seemed like it.
I felt like that, like what could I do if I wasn't a stay at home Mom, when I was prodcing my piece for this quest.
You are a voice to be reckoned with. You are to be admired and thanked. So, I give thanks for inspirational women like you who have a voice, a vision and a template to express and tell the truth.

Whatever you vividly imagine, earnestly desire and enthusiastically act upon must inevitably come to pass.

You know that you CAN have a house by the sea. Think about house swapping or what I have done which is house sitting very rich people's homes.

Pick the sea, get a neighborhood and put up fliers in the local catering deli.

Then I will come visit you and we will giggle until 3am with stories of our lives.

In this world, in this country, we can make up the rules so that you can have your house by the sea...and not even have to mow the lawn.

Thanks for your very kind words RE: my 2 minutes.

Sallyfranz

Your voice is so sweet! I love it! Just the kind of thing I want to hear when I'm relaxing and enjoying a radio show.

I like your idea, too. I think it would be fascinating to find out the results of your experiment.

Keep on rockin' in the free world.

I am in love with your voice.
I wish you had been my mother calling me to dinner, so that it sounded like an adventure, not a duty.

Thank you.

Excellent job of taking the listener on a journey.

They did it. You can too.

Great use of your half voice..the results of which, created intrigue and intimacy. And boy. What a super idea.... a house by the sea... now. That's what I'm talkin' about!

GREAT Job.

(For your eyes only: You make me laugh about the knitting one and pearling two).

You blessed me,

You took us all for an enjoyable ride, what a treat for the ears! Your voice was meant for radio

loved the juxtaposition of peaceful melody and dulcet tones with radical feminist rhetoric. hilarious in an understated way. good luck!

A first kiss, a dental emergency, identifying the Big Man on Campus and talking back to Punky Brewster.

I found it a pleasure to listen to your voice, even more than what you were saying. It was one of the few light, relaxed women's voices that I didn't have to strain to hear.

And I definitely enjoyed the fantasy!

I started truly envisioning this house by the sea - I could really see it. Except maybe for the part where 5 amazing and available men step up to take over the chores! :) (With apologies to those fine fellows who think it sounds like a great opportunity!)

I really liked your bio information too. I think you'd be great in the next round.

I'd love your feedback on my posting too!
http://www.publicradioquest.com/audio/user/1748

Lovely voice, but I had to strain to listen, suggesting you are more important than listener. A little louder or remove background.

It's the kind you wanna have a warm cup of cocoa to. I like the story too.

I'd say the only critique I have is to speak louder! I really wanna hear that voice! :)

Other than that, it was very, um, hosty.(?!)

http://www.publicradioquest.com/audio/user/5728

One of the qualities of hostiness is a voice and attitude that makes you want to have dinner/coffee with that person.

Next time you drop in for a visit to the Pacific Northwest, you pick, I buy... or assemble food (hint-pick the former).
