BIG LOTS Locations

So I’m pretty turned off to the program at this point. I’ve done over a hundred meetings and worked through all the steps with a sponsor. But the toxicity and cultish behavior in meetings has really turned me off. I wanted to explain, specifically how the “big book thumpers” have ruined my home group and caused a lot of newcomers & regulars to stop going. AA was heavily influenced by the Oxford group, which was an evangelical sect. Apparently a big focus of theirs was shaming. This makes sense because I’ve had this experience with the 3 big book thumpers that were in my home group. After the meeting ended and everyone was hanging out and getting to know each other...

# When an Invoice Hits 30 Days Past Due… What’s Your Move? Most accountants and tax pros don’t mind sending the invoice. It’s what happens at day 30, day 45, or day 60 that gets uncomfortable. You start thinking: “I don’t want to sound like a bill collector.” “These are long-time clients.” “What if they get annoyed and leave?” So the invoice just sits there. And before you know it, you’ve got $40,000 or $60,000 tied up in receivables that should already be in the bank. I learned this lesson the hard way. # The Construction Mindset My family was in construction. We could do a million dollars in work, but only $600,000 would show up as revenue because sp...

I had a situation recently that turned into emotional cheating. I am a ***** woman and have been dating my partner for almost 5 years now. At my work, we had a new intern at work who started in August (AP). I was attracted to AP (another ***** woman) and, mid-way through October, told my partner (BP) about it, and they laughed it off. We talked about crushes and how getting some excitement or dopamine from them is normal (for us in our relationship). And how it's up to us to decide what "too far" looks like for ourselves given each situation. I felt reassured about my attraction and befriended AP. For the last couple weeks of November into first week of December, AP would sp...

hey guys if you are heading to see los angeles azules at clowes on 02/12 you definitely want a plan for the car because butler university can be a total nightmare for parking during big shows. the campus is pretty tight and the roads get congested really fast right before showtime. i would suggest checking the Prked app before you do anything else. you can find people nearby renting out their driveways or private spots for way cheaper than what the university charges for the garage. it is a great way to avoid the main traffic jam and you can usually find a spot that is just a short walk to the hall. plus you do not have to wait in the long line to get out of the university garage ...

Riot revealed the next Run It Back capsule for Lunar New Year: “Run It Back: Lunar 26.” It’s basically another rerun bundle where you can buy a set of older skins directly instead of hoping they show up in your store rotation or Night Market. The lineup this time is pretty stacked. The confirmed skins are Gaia’s Vengeance Ghost, Nocturnum Phantom, Aemondir Vandal, Forsaken Operator, and Evori’s Spellcaster Melee. They’re also adding a new item called the FDGT // SPNR Flex, which seems to be exclusive to this capsule. It’s expected to hit the store on February 17, which lines up with the Lunar New Year timing. The “Lunar 26” name also makes it sound like this is the main c...

I \[28 M\] am in a messy dating situation. Hello reddit, this is my first post ever but I wanna know if I'm insane or not and sorry in advance for the long post and for any grammar mistakes. So I work at a place with multiple locations and I usually cover multiple stores. I am pretty popular and well-known and liked at the company and usually managers request me for my good work. The story begins with me working at one location and meeting a coworker \\\[43 F\\\] I used to know from another location and she is a super nice lady and joyful to deal with. one day I saw someone new \\\[21 F\\\] and I immediately felt something. turns out she is the daughter of the other coworker and we h...

In my search to digitalize my writing and be able to search and store long term, I'll share my thoughts on how I'm working through a selection of eInkt Notebooks. I've started to write on what I have, which is a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 with NoteIn. After comparing the technical specs of different eNotebooks, I found the Nomad or Manta to be my kind of devices because of the battery-life. If I'm not misinformed, these devices can be used for two weeks without a charge. I'm ok with a charge in the weekends, but definitely not daily. The next thing I'd look at would be the WRITABLE size. Like with photo camera's, the best device, is the one you ca...

I am big lover and supporter of ALL animals. Even not the traditionally loved ones. I’ve also have worked/volunteered in dog/cat shelters for a long. At the SPCA for example, you have to fill out a form, you need references, a current vet, and permission from your landlord to adopt. But for reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, you can go into any pet store and just buy one. These animals can be VERY complicated to take care. Between temperatures, humidity, proper substrate, proper tank size, pH levels of water, alkaline of water, and so much more. And a lot of stores sell and advertise improper enclosures, substrate, accessories for the relative animal. And some of these things are even harm...

As a F2P player who cares about the meta just a little bit, I've only tried Graded League once for CM2. I got steamrolled so hard that I got locked out of Round 3. I don't think I won a single time. So ever since then, I've been min-maxing B ranks and the restriction on career runs has been a lot of fun in its own right. Even then, I wasn't crushing the competition but I was at least winning things again. lol My issue is that now my cards and umas on average just barely hit B+ on stats alone, adding skills to that bumps the rank up to barely hitting A. So based on what I see online and what I experienced last time, I feel like I'm in this limbo where I've gotte...

Hi everyone, i built [QuoteKeeper ](https://www.producthunt.com/products/quote-keeper-2?launch=quote-keeper-3)(for Android/iPhone) a simple app to store and manage quotes from books, movie and so on. Primarily i built it for myself as a tool since i was using sheets for it but it was a bit cumbersome and most apps i tried required a login/registration. This one does not, use simply use it. All the data is on your device and you can export/import it when you switch devices. * When you add a quote you can include tags for easier filtering. * There is OCR support (for english) so you can easily add a quote with camera * It support full text search, so you can look up existing quotes by aut...

yo so the temptations are playing at mayo performing arts center on 02/12 and if you have ever been to morristown you know parking can be a total nightmare especially when a big show is in town. the traffic around the green gets backed up pretty bad on thursday nights with the dinner crowd and theater goers all hitting the same spots at the same time. honestly the best move is to check out Prked first. it is an app for renting driveways and garages right next to mayo performing arts center which is way cheaper than the public lots and you get to skip the massive line to get out of the garages after the show. it is usually just a short walk and saves a ton of stress. if you do...

I don’t blame Robert for not doing research on Canadian Tire. The website runs on potatoes and the store itself defies description. Essentially tire store meets plant store meets kitchen store meets hardware store, plus you can buy other things. Canadian Tire dollars are real, although they have long since retired the paper dollars in favour of just a regular points program. You could get 10 cent, 25 cent, and 1 dollar bills I believe, and you would get them with every purchase. I remember my dad collected them in a jar and every once in a while would bring a huge stack in for like $20 off. Disclaimer this is from memory so I could be hazy on some of the details on the Canadian Tire doll...

I’m disorganized, I’m not sure what he is. Basically my boyfriends in the past were much more consistent, sent good morning or good night texts, etc, and my current boyfriend seems to text me more how people texts their friends. Sporadic, excited at times, and then just falls off randomly or falls asleep mid convo like it’s no big deal. lol. But then he’ll call me for an hour and talk about how his friends like me and he can’t wait to see me. So instead of getting super anxious at his lack of consistency, I’m trying to just let go and accept that this is his personality and it doesn’t mean he doesn’t like me or is leaving me… he’s just going in a lot of directions a...

hey everyone, figured i'd share some parking info because the rascal flatts show on 02/12 is going to be a mess for traffic. gas south arena is right off the interstate and that whole area around sugarloaf parkway turns into a complete standstill about an hour before showtime. if you want to avoid the headache of the official decks, you should definitely check out Prked first. it is an app where you can rent driveways or private garage spots from people living right near the venue. it is way cheaper than official parking and since you are not stuck in the main flow of venue traffic, you can usually zip in and out much faster. the walk is usually just a few minutes too and it is wa...

This book is really cool, I found it at a local warehouse store for only a couple bucks. I'm a big fan of the Mad Max movies, so I bought it without knowing much about it. Turns out, it's a bit rare and a bit pricey, so I definitely got lucky with the find. It's one of the cooler books in my collection for that reason. Also it's a good little read and a nice tie-in to the Mad Max universe. Since it's pricey to buy physically I would recommend checking it out digitally.

If you have ever used a headless CMS, you may also have shared in my frustration with Sanity or Payload CMS's block based web builder systems. Which invariably become a big mess of many blocks, that each need slightly different fields and toggles to handle different use cases of that block. So I built [Atomic Payload](https://github.com/pro-laico/atomic-payload) to have a small number of Atomic Blocks that can be nested within themselves to render out websites UI. With this system you can: * Compose components from atomic blocks then use Payloads built in duplicate, copy and paste to reuse the components * Build custom forms that include sanitation, validation and rate limiting * Ins...

In mid-January 2017, and having turned ten just under three months earlier, my mom signed me up for taekwondo because she was really keen for me to practice a martial art. She gave me several options to choose from and I picked taekwondo just because I liked the name. I did it for seven months and then quit because I lost interest very quickly. I have to be honest: that experience left me feeling frustrated, and in mid-May 2018, if I remember correctly, I told my mom I wanted her to sign me up for karate. She agreed again, thrilled at the idea and that I was taking the initiative. She enrolled me at a place where they practiced full-contact karate, but I only lasted five months. I went to...

hey everyone, figured i'd share some parking tips if you are heading to see jade at house of blues chicago on 02/12. parking in river north is honestly a massive headache, especially since the 6:00 pm start time puts you right in the middle of the evening rush hour traffic cluster. your best bet to save money and skip the worst of the congestion is to check out the Prked app first. it is an app for renting driveways and garages right next to house of blues chicago, which is usually way cheaper than the big public lots. it helps you skip the heavy traffic trying to get into the main garages and it is just a short walk to the venue. if you do not use Prked, the house of blues...

Recently, Peloton brought in Johanna Ricouz, and if you are into Pilates, it is kind of a big deal. She's the creator of The Pilates Plug, so the lady has had way over a decade to produce her method of Pilates, combining classical bones with more emotive and contemporary movements. What's interesting about Johanna is she's not coming in as some blank slate instructor. She already has a strong identity, a loyal community, and a very clear philosophy around movement. Her whole "Pilates Plug" concept is being plugged in-to your body, to the class, and to the community-and that energy seems to carry directly into her teaching style. She also works as an educator outsid...
