Four Walls @FourWalls (86568) • United States 25 Oct 18

Honk If You Will Miss Alan Thicke

cmoneyspinner @cmoneyspinner (9218) • Austin, Texas 14 Dec 16

Alan Thicke (1947 – 2016), 69 years old, died of a heart attack. Mr. Thicke was an actor, talk show host, composer, and I think his son, Robin Thicke (popular R&B/Pop singer), would probably say [i]“Best Dad...

on writing eulogies....

Cutie18f @Cutie18f (9546) • Philippines 14 Feb 13

Have you ever written one? I wrote a couple of it before but this is one genre that I find hard to write since you have to know the person who died and his or her relationship with the person who will deliver the eulogy. A...

thinkingoutloud @thinkingoutloud (6127) • Canada 2 Apr 11

Great Speech, Obama!

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 12 Jan 11

It was more of a eulogy than a political speech, exactly what was needed! I liked that he made the victims and heroes in this senseless violence the centerpiece. These were the words that needed to be said today... "The...

Writing One's Own Obituary

psyche49f @psyche49f (2502) • Philippines 24 Apr 09

It may sound morbid or what, but believe me, writing one's own obituary or eulogy is not about death, but about LIFE...when we do, we are actually trying to get to know better one's life purpose, one's personal mission-vision....

Eulogy to my little Guitar Amp.

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 27 Feb 09

You weren't the most powerful amp in the world, but you had the power to fill my home with sound. A Fender Frontman 15g Amp isn't much, in fact it's just a 'bedroom' amp. The kind of amp you get with those kits you see in music...
