I have way too many boxes.
Moving? Spring (Summer, haha) cleaning? Reorganising? Just love boxes? I am a dialysis patient and every month I get a delivery of supplies. I am drowing in my boxes of a range of sizes. Most of them are fluid boxes, they come with 12 or 10.5L of fluid in them (which probably gives a good idea of the volume of the box) so they are very strong. These are ideal for books (anyone who has tried to move a bunch of books knows that you need strong boxes for such dense weight) but can be for anything. I also have some larger boxes that my tubes and syringes and the like come in. Anyone who wants some is welcome to contact me and come get some. First in first served. =)
Eventually I will not be able to fit these boxes in my garage (I have recently just moved myself) and then I will start recycling them. If you miss out then just ask again after the 7th of Feb. I will have more by then, haha.
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.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
