BIG LOTS Locations

I've been telling my doctors for years that I have neurological symptoms that seem to be caused by neck position -- headaches, dizziness, trouble breathing, confusion, chest pain, heart palpitations, and a shaky/restless feeling. My neurologist has done some imaging and ruled out CCI, AAI, and Chiari, but the symptoms are still getting worse. It's severely limiting my ability to drive, work, do chores, and sleep. I went to the ER a few months ago because the palpitations and shortness of breath were so severe. I decided to get a second opinion from a doctor who specializes in hypermobility, but the practice has been somewhat unprofessional imo. First I was scheduled with a doctor...

These prices will take effect in approximately 3 months. The traditional model works because the clients who actually buy end up covering the cost of everyone else. One thing I learned from the last version is that small per-use costs (showings, offers) aren’t enough to filter properly. Seeing 10 properties might cost a few hundred bucks, but the time on the backend—especially offers—is way higher. In theory it works if everyone buys. In reality, that doesn’t happen. What you get is a mix of: * people ready to buy now * people who will buy eventually * people who like the idea but probably won’t follow through All of them come through the same system, but they behave comp...

**1. The first issue that bothers me is the storytelling and NPC design.** I understand that every fifth friend of a developer wants to put their own avatar into the game and give them five slides of dialogue filled with personal facts that mean ABSOLUTELY nothing to the player. But in Buzzville, Roadtown, and Turitopolis, there were NPCs you could talk to and actually believe they lived there. Sure, there were memes, but their dialogues gave hints or interesting info about your current goal. They're not...just existing, like in Demo 5. What do we find in most locations of Chapter 5, especially at the Heights? A bunch of... colorful NPCs with no purpose. One store. The "Heights&q...

I love tinkering. I run Proxmox, multiple Docker containers, a massive Plex array, and I tried hosting my own live TV routing through Tvheadend and various cheap IPTV APIs. It was a disaster. My network is solid, but the generic providers I was scraping always buffered during peak hours. My wife just wanted to turn on the Apple TV and watch a show or live event without me having to SSH into a server to restart a container because the stream died. The W.A.F. (Wife Acceptance Factor) of my setup was at absolute zero. I finally stopped over-engineering the live TV portion and outsourced the backend to a private infrastructure called GeniusTV. Why it saved my setup: Instead of fighting with...

I’ve been in music for more than 15 years. I’m an artist too. But honestly… I never got the support I needed to take my music to the level it deserved. No spotlight. No big push. Just passion… and patience. And I know I’m not the only one. There are thousands of talented artists still waiting for that one [chance.](http://chance.so/) [So](http://chance.so/) instead of waiting… I decided to build something on my own. It started with a few close friends and a loan. A small step — an audio/video production house. Slowly, we grew… Producing music Managing artists Organizing local events And today… we’ve built our own digital distribution company. Now...

I’ve been running a small cleaning business for a while, and I recently realized something that honestly surprised me… I was undercharging on almost every job. For example, I used to quote around $120 for a standard house clean. It felt “fair” at the time, but I never actually calculated my real costs. Once I broke it down properly — time, labor, supplies, travel, etc — I realized that same job should’ve been closer to $250–$300. No wonder it always felt like I was working a lot but not making much. The problem was I was basically guessing prices. Now I try to calculate things more carefully before quoting, and it’s made a big difference. Pricing ...

I have been living in Da Nang for almost 3 months now and love it, but thinking about moving to Saigon city for a few reasons. 1. Convenience - the nearest 24/7 store from me is 10 minutes by bike and there isn’t a huge variety in food options after 10pm, which isn’t ideal as I like to work late so its quite a hassle to get a quick drink or bite to eat 2. Bigger city energy - Da Nang is very relaxed which is nice, but I do like a little bit of fast paced living which Saigon seems to offer, along with more high rise buildings, parks etc. 3. Social / nightlife - I’m quite young compared to most foreigners who stay in Da Nang, and although I’m not a huge party person, Saigon has a lo...

food is a sun ramen pack. you can find it in the refrigerated section in some US stores. i have one bridge therapy session left. i'm on a therapy waitlist. i miss my ex-partner. 2025 was rough. my soulmate kitty passed in 2024. i don't think i had/have gotten over it. we moved to a new place and it stressed me out. i think i had a harder time with the transition than i knew. i was unknowingly carrying this undercurrent of stress and anxiety throughout our interactions. i shame myself for not being able to tell almost every day. all throughout our relationship, i struggled with bringing her my needs and wants. i realized, albeit slowly, that the way i was doing this wasn'...

Haven’t tried Scorchy before this, so I added it on top of a few-days-old manicure. A cashier at the local grocery store was very fascinated by this one, said it looked 3D so it made me happy Cracked - Jokes on You (1x) Cracked - Tomato Tomahto (?x - stopped counting on layer 4, I wanted it more on the opaque end) Cracked - Scorchy (1x, glass bead) Sally Hansen QDTC in the red bottle (one on top of Tomato Tomahto, then one layer on top of Scorchy) I felt like my nails felt much more plump than usual. I am wondering what a jelly would look like with a QDTC on each layer…? Maybe one day I will experiment, the top coat seems to add a lot of dimension to the nails with additiona...

I’ve been looking for these for a long long time..

Dear Diary, After yesterday’s super energetic Shelley birthday party, today was supposed to be something calmer. Mom said, “Let’s all go watch a movie tonight.” Everyone agreed immediately. Because honestly… After Shelley’s chaos, we needed a different kind of chaos. 🎬 The Cinema Trip After school, we all went to the cinema together. Mom. Jennifer. Vicky. Melissa. Heather. Gillian. Linda. Nina. Shelley. And me. A full team. Shelley was still full of energy. “Popcorn! We NEED popcorn!” Linda agreed. “Extra large.” Jennifer sighed. “Of course.” 🍿 The Snack Counter At the counter, we ordered: Popcorn (a LOT) Drinks Nachos Candy I was...

I see it a lot in QP with famous quotes like: "I don't want to play Counter-Watch" or "Imagine counterswapping lmao" Even in competitive some players refuse to switch and will get hard countered all match. Making defeats feel absolutely abysmal. This especially applies to one-tricks. This raises a question: why has the public discourse surrounding counterswapping gotten so sour? It used to be a big part of this game's philosophy, and now, matches are basically determined by which team has the most malleable players and are willing to form the better team comp. In the vast majority of my matches, I might get a *singular* teammate who switches their hero. Even...

 1- WITNESS TESTIMONY 1 breath 2 breath and strike 3 breath 4 breath 1 breath 2 breath  and strike 3 breath... I didn't believe it, I don't like thinking about it. I'm a reasonable guy. Normal. Even boring. I just repeat patterns until I'm thinking about work or something around the house that needed done. A screw to tighten. A lightbulb to change. An exercise to perfect. But every morning it's there to greet me. Proof.  Take the evidence or ignore it like I did.  I worked at the Rycho Meat Plant. Ever since the accident, I haven't seen a drop of blood. The first time I noticed it was from shaving. It just seemed like I didn't bleed as much. Thou...

Hi everyone! I would just like to present an app I’ve been developing this app since 2023. It’s Aurora Sonoris and it’s completely free, with no ads and no account required. It’s also currently being tested in several schools as part of student well-being programs. **What it does:** *Designed as a personal sound refuge, Aurora Sonoris offers a simple and immersive space to return to whenever you need calm, clarity, deeper focus, or distance from the noise around you. It helps you concentrate better, stay grounded, and create the right atmosphere for more peaceful and productive moments.* **Project background:** I’ve been developing this app since 2023. At first, it was just ...

I am writing regarding the. A lot of replies have come in on Reddit, so let me address them all here in a single response. I actually spoke with this person's wife and tried to manage the situation as best as I could. I told her that if she wanted a divorce, I could provide evidence, money, and a lawyer. My initial goal in talking to this person was never this. I started playing this game because of a friend. She was one of his victims—he was basically obsessed with her, wouldn't leave her alone, and kept sending threatening messages, saying things would happen if she left the alliance or if their conversations leaked. My friend asked me to start playing, saying, "Just sedu...

I'm currently thinking about upgrading my current bike and am wondering about going for a single-speed (not fixie) bike — I live in Cambridge (i.e. pretty flat terrain) and commute to work each day by bike, usually dropping two children off at and picking up from school by means of a Bakfiets box bike. I've read that going from multi-gears to single-gear is a big adjustment — I'm definitely no Chris Hoy, so am expecting that this would take a lot of getting used to. Additionally, does anyone here have experience of having a single-speed bike with both a child seat and a pannier rack for bags (rather than the seat being mounted on the rack)? I've seen that you can ge...

He initially accused me of cheating online, where we met and spoke for years. He was very sexual, and was upset that I wasn’t, doubting my reasons why. He made me feel pressured to engage that way. I was overweight, and had other issues, which he said he didn’t mind. We met in person, however, and he rejected me. He criticised me for trying anything. He seemed embarrassed by me in public, as well. He didn’t want to hold my hand, sand said he disliked pda, after talking about wanting to online. I lost weight before we met, and after, and he eventually showed interest but it felt forced. For a year he turned me down frequently, avoided pda, and made me feel unwanted. He broke down and to...

I have some expensive towing fee questions for anyone who is familiar with this kind of thing. Story: Car was towed on 4/7, picked up on 4/13 (7 days total counting start and end date). Towed by Classic Towing (License 2013489-DCA). I apparently had a ticket on the car, but the physical ticket was illegible and no ticket is showing up in the system. It's not clear to me why the car was towed. The location has no regulations and cars sit there for weeks or months at a time. My car was ever so slightly up on the curb (which is barely a curb there). That's all I can think of. I have one old outstanding ticket that I was unaware of but only amounts to about $87, not the $350 which c...

I just got a Vertuo Up as an early mothers day gift! I love me a good iced coffee. When we were in the store yesterday, the lady we spoke to was telling us thag the machine we picked out has an option to brew iced coffee, by brewing it hot initially then running it through a system that cools it down in the machine so that when the coffee pours out its already cooled down matching the temperature in the water reservoir. Now that its all set up we cant figure out how to get it to work and all we are seeing is tutorials to concentrate the pod and jusy pour over ice. Which sure I can do that but a big reason we picked this machine was because of that feature. Was I bamboozled? Or am I mis...

Saw a lot of these popping up. Some extra info on a few of my choices: \- Tetris. It's a classic and timeless and you can play it anytime on any device \- B&W. Loved training the animal, hours and hours trying to get him to burn the enemies instead of my own people. But the last island was bugged and back then not an easy fix to be found. \- AC Unity is actually not a bad game but was vilified in the early bugs period of this game. Never recovered properly. I refunded it back then and recently repurchased it recently with a big discount. \- Cyberpunk 2077. Love the theme in general and RPGs are usually among my favorites. Game has a really great style but loads of broken p...
