The body of a deceased man was found at the Boise Recycling Center Friday September 26th. The Coroner's office identified him as a 54 year old Boise resident. They believe the cause of death was accidental. But, can you image?...

Diana B. No I can't imagine. I guess I wouldn't care after I had died though. I feel bad for the person (or people) who found the body. How traumatic!

I will probably never know why I love this song so much. It caught my ear when it was originally sung by Richard Harris, but then Donna Summer came out with her version during the disco era, and I was really hooked. Something...

Diana B. I remember this song well. It wasn't a favorite of mine. I never understood the what the lyrics were referring to. I was 15 in 1978.

This is just a friendly reminder that grief isn’t one size fits all, so can we please stop judging how others grieve! My friend and I were talking about this very topic earlier, she was telling me how for the longest time after...

Diana B. Grief affects everyone at some point in their life. It's good for people to learn healthy ways to cope with it and to support grieving loved ones too. I'm so glad that you were there for your friend when she needed you!

And no, not just since yesterday's Minneapolis shooting. I didn't realize it was even going on, but evidently in many churches now, it is. As I have said before, I lived for a time in a small town in southern IL. My best friend...

Diana B. The security cameras are a very good idea. I'd probably feel more fearful in a church that kept its doors locked. It would be a constant reminder that evil people could harm or kill us at any moment.

I've always believed that one is never too old to grow, change and learn. I'll be 60 next month. I've always loved learning new information on all kinds of topics. I can be a silly goofball, but really, I am a deep thinker too....

Diana B. Thanks for your comment! I agree that reading it is more confusing. I watch YouTube videos that break down the main concepts to make it all easier to comprehend and apply to life.

I’ve written before about the Goldfields pipeline in Western Australia. When gold was discovered at Kalgoorlie, 600 kms (372 miles) inland from Perth, there was a desperate need to provide water to the area. Trying to source water...

Diana B. Hi Judy. Wow, that's so interesting! I'd never heard of water pipes made of wood. I wonder how long they lasted?

Diana B. Hi Mr. Windbag @Orson_Kart (Wow, that's quite a new name! ) I didn't take any classes, but just watched YouTube videos to learn. Stoicism is just common sense really, as applied to minding one's own business and controlling our emotions- to live a...

Diana B. Your story of Baby James' short life touched me. You are still his mother indeed. It's so good that you honor him every year on his birthday. I'm glad that you can see some positive lessons, even through your painful loss. Bless you.

Diana B. My granddaughters do the same thing! All four of them- ages 10, 6, 6 and 4. Sometimes I think they are eating out of boredom and habit. Also, when they are at my house, they hope to find better snacks than they have at home. That's usually not the...

Diana B. I have absolutely experienced betrayals by those I loved. You're right, it happens to many people. Your post is so encouraging and true, based on my life experiences. God has taught me many things and He's healing my heart and mind, one day at a time.
