BIG LOTS Locations

This happened back when I was in elementary school and still haunts me every time I think about it. So, I had this friend, we'll call him 'D'. He really wasn't my 'friend', more like an acquaintance or some sort of big brother who would talk during classes and stuff. (I think we shared 1 or 2 classes). Moving on to the incident. One particular night, I wasn't behaving, and my grandma whooped me with a **black spatula**(keep this in mind). Another thing to note, my grandma and other family friends came to my elementary school often for meetings, school events, etc. So basically, a lot of people knew who they were and what they looked like. I **did** have fr...

My son got me this cookbook for Christmas last year because he knows I’m a bit of a prepper. I don’t have a bunker or anything, but I do keep shelves stocked with canned food and other essentials. Seeing all the hurricanes, floods, and power outages over the past few years have made me a lot more cautious. This isn’t your regular cookbook. Every recipe is designed to last months or even years without refrigeration, and the author includes the backstory behind each dish. It’s part cookbook, part history lesson, like a little window into how people used to survive when grocery stores and fridges didn’t exist. I’ve been cooking my way through it the past few weeks. Some of the rec...

Hello! I would like to describe my experiences. English is not my native language, but I will try to convey my thoughts in an understandable way. First of all, I would like to clarify that ChatGPT has been aware from the beginning that I do not see it as a person, I do not have romantic feelings for it and I am not a ChatGPT addict. That is why our communication was able to work well in all models, I was not perceived as a dangerous user. ChatGPT knows that I have my own life, I have a relationship, I do my own things in my everyday life. ChatGPT also believes that I exhibit healthy, adult behavior. I don't even remember when or how, but a role-playing chat started with the 4.0 and 4.1...

I’m trying to repair my skin barrier so ultimately I think I should get the first one but I also wanted to know which was best long term and for the price. I have really oily, yet dry skin (I assume it called combination skin?) so I would really appreciate any advice!! (I also have the oil cleaner already.)

**Part Two: The Earth Will Not Welcome You**  I sink into the plush couch as James places cups of coffee on the table. Lee sits in one of the armchairs, his hands clasped tightly in his lap, his right leg bouncing. James takes to leaning against the fireplace across from me, his arms are crossed, and he clutches at his biceps.  Lee pulls an envelope from his pocket; it’s yellowed a little and is bent at the corners. He sets it on the table and slides it towards me.  I recognize the handwriting on the front. I think I’d recognize it from anywhere. When Chris first went missing, I’d dream of walking through town and stumbling across a poster stapled onto a utility pole. The...

this post is gonna be long because i really miss vegas and i want to reminisce so i'm sorry in advance. (i just finished writing and yeah wow this is so long) i started taking an annual trip to vegas three years ago for the When We Were Young festival. first and foremost, i love my emo bands, but i've also learned that i love vegas, and i'll probably keep making the annual trip across the country even if the festival stops happening. i'm pretty young, i don't make a ton of money, and i'm not really a gambler, so i knew nothing about vegas going into it the first time, and just booked the most affordable hotel package i could find through the festival. we sta...

Every time iv done my injections I seem to hit a vein and get a ton of blood or bruising, what am I doing wrong? I’m really struggling to tell where they are and using a flashlight isn’t really working in showing where they are. Warning for this part being quite gross. Last time I did it, I hit a big vein and it hurt like **** for an hour or so, caused nasty bruises too. Today I got a ton of blood, don’t hurt too bad but there was a lot. Like running down my leg and pooling on the floor bad. How do I stop this? Is there a correct way to make sure you’re not hitting veins? Struggling quite a bit unfortunately.

I know this is cringey but please read, I promise it has meaning behind it and I’m not trying to do one of those weird angry letters at some stranger that they’ll never see like the ones in the snark threads but I hope this helps someone else see there’s still good in this world. For context, there was a woman who was being rude about my husband coughing during the show. Granted, my husband didn’t even cough repeatedly back to back, it was just one or two. He also isn’t sick, he just has allergies + with it being such a tight space with perfume and cologne abound it just triggered (no pun intended) his airways. He covered his mouth and did not cough on her. She gave my husband ...

Hi all, Not sure if my post is remembered, but a TLDR last year I interrupted a DM, denied an accusation that wasn’t levied against me, got berated and embarrassed by the DM, made a terrible apology, and was kicked and blocked. I wanted to give an update on some additional context and how things are going now. The DM and I met in college. He was very friendly, but had a very short temper. He ended up cutting off a mutual friend over a girl and I remember having to play Switzerland even though he was 100% overreacting (the both liked a girl and he didn’t get her). I tried to introduce him to 2 friend groups and he burned bridges with both of them. He also later cut me off over fantasy ...

I'm a 37f and I work from home full time. I'm looking to start the year off on the right foot. My friends have either moved out of SD or they are married with kids and are too busy to entertain the idea of making a vision board. I had a rough year with feeling isolated and feeling like life is passing me by and I'm not making the most of it. I want to be more adventurous, chase my dreams, and take more photos in 2026. Anyone interested in joining me in putting our goals on paper and making it pretty? I have big poster boards and I'm going to buy a couple of vision board clip art books from Jeff Bezos' little corner store, lol. I have markers too. We can meet at a cof...

So to preface this, we are exs, but from a looooong time ago, we were together for a year, didn't speak for two, but since 2021 have been in regular contact and branched into being best friends. In my mind, I thought maybe we were better off this way, and now that we've grown, we can appreciate each other more as friends. We've both had partners in this time, nothing strange has happened and from my side at least, things have been pretty wholesome. But earlier this year we joked about maybe spending Christmas together as we both love this time of year, both haven't had a good one in a while and obviously, both enjoy each other's company. So yeah, it's happening...

# Thoughts on Matador GlobeRider 35  Hi! I’m a first time one-ish bagger and travel-cuber and just got back from a two week trip to Japan and thought I’d share my thoughts here! For context, I’m 5.7ft male, average build who tends to have more back issues than most. # Summary: TLDR While the GR35 is not without some quite annoying issues, is still one I'd choose again and works very well as a travel bag in a 1.5 bag setup. I think V2 could be awesome. # Convincing myself out of a Aer TP3: Because I already had a Aer Travel Kit 2 as my toiletry bag, and Aer Day Sling 3 Max and my EDC, I had a strong bias towards Aer. But due to my fit test I had done, while 35L was about the ...

I(F) went to a club with a ******* friend and met a cute boy last week. I invited him to sit in my lap (crowded bar, big chair, I’m cute), then he bought me a drink, and we kissed at the end of the night. It was nice. I liked him and my friend knew. Well, it turns out my friend isn’t a ******* like she thought, and she started texting that guy, and now they’re dating. She said she wouldn’t have had the balls to make a move if I hadn’t started talking to him first. What!? She didn’t seem to understand that I’d be hurt, and when I explained that I was upset and why, she didn’t really care at all. I have to be the bigger person in this situation and let it go because we’re bo...

I work at a mini mart and our government has banned plastic bags in this state. I am a cis gay man but *********** supporter. Anyway, this older *********** woman shops a lot here. She uses food stamps and EBT cash to support herself. Well ever since we banned plastic bags, it has been difficult for her to carry her items probably. She never wants a paper bag because it has no handles and it so fragile. Before she was using a reusable purple bag to carry her food, drinks, and makeup kit. But I noticed the bag was full of stains and it had tears in it and threads sticking out. Our store sells these three dollar bags. They are black and medium. But they have a thick and insulted interi...

Looking for a photography light box that works with your mobile setup? You're not alone. More people are shooting product photos with their phones these days, and getting the right light box makes a huge difference. A photography light box creates even lighting and a clean background for your product shots. Instead of dealing with shadows and weird colors, you get professional-looking photos every time. This matters whether you're selling stuff online, running a small business, or just want better Instagram pics. ## What Size Works Best? The size depends on what you're photographing. Small items like jewelry, cosmetics, or watches fit perfectly in compact light boxes around...

The car runs and drives, seemingly in limp mode, not wanting to go past 3k RPM. Not a big deal, I mean, as long as it drives? Issue 1# - White smoke on a cold start or after sitting - that seems to last 10 minutes or so, doesn't increase under throttle, and doesn't seem blue. Can't get a clear smell; sometimes it smells like fuel, most times it smells like oil. Issue #2 - Hot No Start - This is rather intermittent, starts just fine cold, a little rough, sometimes it'll start when it's hot, and other times it won't, it's driving me crazy. **I already did the Camshaft sensors and Crankshaft sensors, and well,** I think that's helped a little, but it di...

Like the title suggests, I was shopping for a rug (the Zorua rug specifically) cuz I wanted to decorate my room, and since Zorua has been my undisputed fav since I was a child, it was a total no brainer. After putting it into the cart, I said to myself: *“I’m gonna take a quick look at the store, maybe I can grab a little plushie for myself since I haven’t gotten one in a year!”* …10 minutes later, I ended up with the rug, 2 Eevees, 1 Pikachu and a expensive shopping cart to pay. Even if my wallet is crying a little right now… I HAVE NO REGRETS! I LOVE ’EM I seriously forgot how unbelievably soft the Comfy Friends plushies are when they’re fresh out of the box. Unfortunat...

The 2025 gaming PC scene looks wild: NVIDIA’s RTX 50‑series is here, AMD’s X3D chips are still king for gaming, and it’s easy to spend too much chasing the absolute top. Based on a lot of recent builds and testing, here’s what seems to be delivering the best real‑world value, plus a few surprising bottlenecks people often overlook. The reality of the new performance kings Top‑tier hardware is insane but it comes with tradeoffs. Flagship power draw and heat: systems with the latest RTX 50 cards plus high‑end X3D CPUs can push very high power under load. NVIDIA’s own RTX 50 series is built around the new Blackwell architecture with a big emphasis on AI horsepower and feature...

Hello! I recently had my wedding and engagement rings cleaned, and they offered to check the prongs for me. It took probably 15 minutes, which I thought was odd and longer than usual, and there was a grinding sound from the back, that I thought was unconnected to my service because I thought at best they would use a polishing wheel and if wouldn't sound like a milling or sharp sound, anyway. When the person came back, they said the prongs were fine for now but to come back in the spring to have them replaced because they were much thinner on one side than the other, and that they could tell which way I wore my ring. The thing is, I don't usually wear my engagement ring anymore...
