Be Kind and Be thoughtful.
As governments are trying to figure out how to ease back into a new normal, please remember:
š Some people donāt agree with the suggested reopening.... thatās okay. Be kind.
š” Some people are still planning to stay at home.... thatās okay. Be kind.
š¦ Some are still scared of getting the virus and a second wave happening....thatās okay. Be kind.
š° Some are sighing with relief to go back to work knowing they may possibly save their business or their homes....thatās okay. Be kind.
š©š¾āāļøSome are thankful they can finally have a surgery they have put off....thatās okay. Be kind.
š Some will be able to attend interviews after weeks without a job....thatās okay. Be kind.
š· Some will wear masks for weeks....thatās okay. Be kind.
š
š» Some people will rush out to get the hair or nails done.... thatās okay. Be kind.
ā¤ļø The point is, everyone has different viewpoints/feelings and thatās okay. Be kind.
We each have a different story. If you need to stay home, stay home. But be kind.
If you need to go out, just respect others when in public, keep your distance and be kind!
Donāt judge fellow humans because youāre not in their story. We all are in different financial and mental states than we were months ago. So remember, be kind.
Copy, paste, and share as a reminder to BE KIND! ā„ļø
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesnāt have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
