Talk love to me

HAVE you ever heard the theory of “love languages”?

It’s February, so it seems like it’s the appropriate time to talk about the subject.

The theory of love languages holds that there are five different ways to show our love for each other.

Words of affirmation (“you’re doing such a great job!” or “you did so well!”), acts of service (“let me help you with that!” or “I’ll make the bed for you so you can have a shower”), quality time (“let’s just be together and talk for a while”), physical touch (“holding hands, hugs, affectionate pats on the shoulder”) and receiving/giving gifts (“I saw this and thought of you!”).

It is the last one that gives me so much trouble because it is my family’s main love language.

What’s needed at Black Diamond?

We asked: What do you think should be done in terms of development and safety at Black Diamond lake?

You said (some responses have been edited for readability):

Brian Grainger:

How many people have drowned there? Do changes really need to be made for one accident? Whatever signs, rails or guards you put in there will also need to go in every body of water everywhere.

Amaroo Deli & Cafe:

Maybe a map showing depths and a warning that if you can’t swim then this may not be the spot for you ie. swimming level required. (5 likes)

Clive Lancaster:

A while back, the Department of Mines spent many months ensuring sunken objects were removed, unsafe cliff faces were made secure to avoid landslides etc.

This was funded by the mines rehabilitation fund.

The area has been cleaned up and camping no longer allowed.

Toilets should be provided. On the aspect of swimming, you cannot remove the human factor.

Put up as many cautionary or prohibition signs and fencing as you like, those who choose to ignore will ignore. (16 likes)
