This would be a great deal for someone with need to build a garden bed, but the timeframes this person have in their post ("must be gone tomorrow", ie today) are RIDICULOUS (unless you live next door). Have you ever moved that much weight before? #random #scavenging

Heard the next door neighbor demanding the pest control service douse her house with more pesticidea because of "spiders leaving cobwebs on the outside".

Tip: You can avoid all of these problems by avoiding invasive medical procedures run out of sketchy storefronts just to cater to your sense of vanity, and deal with the fact that you will, indeed, age.

From the article:
"“I do get depressed sometimes, because the feeling is like, ‘My God, this is happening,’” said Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, a professor of marine studies at the University of Queensland who published early predictions about how global warming would be catastrophic for coral reefs.
“Now we’re at the point where we’re in the disaster movie,” he said."
