BIG LOTS Locations

I'm usually a fly on the wall in this subreddit- looking over other people's experiences and never contributing my own. Maybe because this is the most crazy rollercoaster ride EVER and sometimes it feels really hard to describe... but I fully realized how comforting and helpful I found other people's experiences on here so here's mine in hopes that it encourages someone on their journey in the same way I've experienced. I, of course, won't type the whole thing because it would be a King novel but I'll share what comes out and would love to respond back to comments or questions if anyone has any :) The lay of the land: My twin and I are both female with...

A while ago I built a small PWA for musicians to track their song repertoire. At some point I wanted to add a blog section for release notes, tips, and small updates; nothing big, just a lightweight place to write content. I first tried using Blogger. It worked, but only in the most minimal sense: limited API, awkward editor, styling hacks, and it never really integrated well with the app. So I tried storing blog posts directly in Firestore. Structurally, this made a lot more sense: I could define my own fields, use markdown, fetch posts in realtime, and keep everything inside Firebase. The problem was: I still needed a small editor to manage the content. I looked at FireCMS next. It’s ...

Hi guys I am new to Instacart and I got an order for Staples and it was such an irriating experience I don't know what I should've done, can someone please let me know what to do next time this happens??? BTW No reply from the customer at all, like this ENTIRE time. I even tried calling but it didn't go anywhere. The customer had ordered 8 of the same item (little office crates). I went to go look for them and only 3/8 were in store. I went to an employee to ask if they had more but they said they had no more. I contacted the person who ordered through instacart text and let them know they only had three. No reply. Then I also went and took a picture of other cubby looking i...

I like to crochet as a hobby and enjoy making baby toys. I don’t have a baby but i like children and it’s nice to think that I’m making something they’ll enjoy. Anyway I want to know if anyone has a good recommendation on what kind of yarn to use. I’m currently using a basic acrylic. It’s not especially soft or scratchy and it frays kind of easy. Babies are like destructive eggs so I want to try to find a yarn that’s softer and also less easy to fray so that it can last and feel nice to the touch. I’ve gone to my local yarn store and fondled different yarns but it’s hard to tell how they’ll actually feel when made into something. So if anyone has a recommendation for a ty...

I recently switched to Qobuz and am loving it. I was on spotify for years, but I can't support them any longer. I switched to Apple Music because audio quality was better, but I still feel weird about supporting a mega corp and the discoverability on Apple music is severely lacking. In comes Qobuz. I love how easy it was to transfer over all my music, not only my playlists but my liked songs (which apple doesn't do). I love that there's tons of hand made playlists. I love that I can find other peoples hand made playlists. There's just a lot to love in terms of how human it feels. I really love Qobuz and I plan on continuing using it. My only struggle with it is I feel ...

Hi frens, it's big sis's third birfday and I'm throwing her a party, it's BYOB bring your own box but we rented out this hooge area to play in. We've got nip, dreamies, lots of toys and beds for any frens who just want to take a nap. All frens welcome, the ratties have kindly agreed to donate some of their cheerios and fruit for any frens who like that kind of fing and lots of doggo treetos. We've got big screens playing birdy livestreams too not so mini Void Gus And this is in no way an attempt to apologise for being a bit of a bully and stressing her out

Hi everyone! Mod of r/GetSMSCode here (and yeah, I’m also the guy who built the [GetSMSCode](https://redirect.appmetrica.yandex.com/serve/316958281727788117?post_id=i1pdafuy) app). We’re all about making those annoying “enter your phone number” screens painless, especially when you just want to hop on TikTok and start scrolling. # Why does TikTok even want my number? Short version: they’re trying to keep bots and trolls out. One real phone = one real human (at least in theory). It’s their main trick to stop people from making 50 fake accounts to spam dances or drop sketchy links. Annoying? Sometimes. Effective? Mostly. # Your three real options (with the honest pros/cons) # 1...

Hey everyone, I’m looking to sell my Hot Wheels collection and wanted to post here in case anyone in the community is interested. I have a large variety of cars, ranging from regular mainlines to older/vintage pieces. Most of the collection is carded and in mint condition, and I also have some loose mint cars that have been kept clean and protected. Everything has been well stored and sealed over the years. Ideally, I’d like to sell everything together as a full lot, but I’m open to discussing options depending on interest. I know Facebook Marketplace is another route, but I figured I’d check here first to see if there are any collectors or resellers looking for a solid collectio...

Hello, My child was just diagnosed. We're still in the learning process since it was this week. Haven't met with a dietitian yet. I'm wondering if anyone has some good recipes or store bought foods they love? Also my child is a toddler and has a handful of favorite foods we now need to find replacements for. If anyone has some good replacements that would be so helpful and save a lot of time and money because for some reason gluten free foods are triple plus the cost 😭 Favorites: Noodles Red baron pizza Goldfish Donuts Cupcake- more so the icing lol Ritz crackers Chocolate chip cookies Kraft slice cheese- apparently fig app says no because modified corn starch Flavored wa...

i’ve added more information to his goals, a new tool in gus arsenal, and his appearance. Name: Rico Takeishi (Martinez is his real last name, but he goes by Takeishi to honor his mentor, Ryu Takeishi.) Age: 17 Quirk: None Vigilante known as The Silent Sentinel. Known for: His Precision, patience, low collateral damage, stealth, and high battle IQ. He targets and kills villains, heroes who abuse their power or fail to protect the innocent if they can do anything about it, politicians or HPSC agents and associates he deems corrupt, and defends places mostly forgotten or not patrolled by hero’s as often. He doesn’t go around killing just anyone, he’s selective, going for only ...

Posting for fun and would love to hear opinions from the vinyl community! Back in April I participated in my first RSD. I camped out early, hit 3 different stores, and ordered missing titles online. Needless to say, I got everything on my list. This time around for Black Friday I wasn’t too crazy about the list and decided not to participate in person (I’m not too big on Black Friday in general). That being said, I was still able to order all of my ISO’s online the next day and they have been slowly arriving in the mail. (I will update with a pic when they all arrive!) But I’m curious which method do you guys prefer? Do you feel like there’s less hype when you order online? Or d...

So it’s a very long story but I will try to shorten it, I met this guy last year this time on Reddit, I was in a horrible place mentally and one night I felt a pull to make a post on a subreddit (won’t say which) he saw it reached out and comforted me a bit, and from then we started chatting, we ended up having quite a few things in common (both youngest of 4 siblings with exact opposite genders (boy girl boy girl and then the exact opposite for him) and we had sibling issues in the same time periods months before talking and maybe a few other things I’m not mentioning but one big thing (at the time I thought it was) 2 days after talking to him, and I hadn’t seen a picture of him yet...

If they are so good trading, why bother selling subscriptions? I see this question a lot. Most comments- those who can’t do, teach. Here are my thoughts on this. I paid for many such services and was never disappointed with value provided. 1. They started selling subscriptions before they hit it big. Many traders I used to follow were not making FU money and reasonably enough wanted to have stable income and diversify. Once they started making “enough,” they already had subscription business running. There’s no point killing a money producing business, especially if you have your friends running it and depend on it for their income. 2. Trading is a lonely business having others r...

Hello everyone! I've been gifted some warhammer, around 100 units and some paints and im about to start building - SUPER EXCITED. I have no where to store them whilst I'm not painting them, how do you all store your minatures that aren't finished but you want to avoid dust, sun etc? I've looked for lots of "boxes" etc, but i can't find some i like - could anyone share what they have? Thank you!

Pretty much the title why the heck is there not already such an online store? Heavy metals in foods is apparently much more common and at higher levels than in the past and is especially risky for growing kids. FDA issues 'guidelines' on the topic that are generally ignored. Can't post links here (\*sigh\*) but do a search for "eat this not that" plus "heavy metals" as well as "consumer labs" plus "heavy metals lead" for a clue. Might add in "FDA heavy metals guidelines" as well. (Note to mods, which are hopefully not AI :-) there is no way you can deem this 'self-promotion' !) Instead of spending literal hou...

Here’s how I’d train three common types of pitchers who get stuck in the mid–high 70s. The key is identifying the right bottleneck coordination, strength, or force transfer and building a plan based on that. **CASE 1: The Uncoordinated Athlete Who Lacks Rhythm + Feel** **(Picture a 6’3”, 190 lb kid with long levers but poor timing, sequencing, and control)** These guys don’t lack strength as much they lack organization. They have the raw materials but can’t create consistent movement patterns. Fix coordination and timing first, then layer on intensity. **Training Structure (3x/week)** * **Mon - Lower Body Strength** * Tempo squats, split squats, hinges * Accessories ...

Disclaimer: - apni life ki katha sunai hai aaaand that's why it's a v long post so read at your risk. \- Preparing for upsc and came back home for function and obviously for IBACIO, UPPSC AND EPFO \- thought of staying here and preparing and continuing the rest of my journey because I felt that staying home will be good ( I was definitely wrong and nothing has changed in my home since I left for college. My parents being nice was just a facade and maybe distance makes your heart fonder thingy. \- fast forward to 3 months and after function and everything. The situation was becoming v tense and also my mother is narcissistic and is on depression meds. But before this and me and m...

Happy Wed. all, **Economy** Well, the the Dec. rate cut chances will get a further boost this AM after the private payrolls number disappointed, falling 32,000. Job are what I'm watching most, even more than the percolating inflation, and this isn't good news. I've been saying for a bit now that it sure seems that there's a lot more weakness out there than has been reported in the numbers. I won't be surprised to see this accelerate into future months. The impact of tariffs are starting to roost now. I fully expected a slow ramp in impact as suppliers/producers wrestled with the impact, delayed price increases to see if they might be transitory and then ultimate s...

I’m curious about the Bay Area and how it’s changed since the tech boom. I’m visiting soon and am curious about how the cost of living has wiped out the culture in the city. I really want to experience the old SF as much as I can and I’m worried that many parts of it are now gone before I got to see it. My mother and father went in 2021 and said the homelessness issue was rapid and they had to walk past many homeless folks just to get into a top restaurant in the city. Is this the usual?? I mean I know the issue has gotten bad and they are trying to dial it back but my biggest concern as a visitor is feeling like smaller businesses and restos no longer exist and culture has been re...
