FAMILY DOLLAR Locations

My cousin and I have been close our whole lives. Shes more like a sister to me honestly. She planned a big milestone birthday trip. Rented a house invited about fifteen people and it was going to be a whole weekend thing. I was so excited. I booked my flight months in advance and paid for my share of the house upfront because she needed deposits early to lock it in. Between the flight and the house I spent close to 700 dollars. None of it refundable. Heres where it gets messy. My cousin has a really complicated relationship with her mom. They go back and forth between not speaking and trying to make it work. She originally didnt want her mom there. Then some family members started pressurin...

This is a short list of text-heavy, story-driven games that work well for learners of Traditional Chinese in Taiwan, including virtual board games, RPGs, visual novels, and open world adventures. Curated by authentic usage of language (not simply translations from mainland China). Over half of the games in this list are directly from Taiwanese developers. I originally researched this list for a friend who asked me about recommendations, who is not as gaming-native as I am. As I fleshed it out, I decided to turn it into an article for my website (link at the end of this post). The list is somewhat sorted by release date, with the oldest one (Richman 1) being from 1989 - that's some OG ...

Honestly, Where The Winds Meet is all over the place and that’s really why I stopped playing it. Visually, the game is stunning, especially for a free game at that. The open world is beautiful, and at first glance it feels like something different than other open world games. But visuals alone can’t carry a game for me. What keeps me invested is its story, purpose, and direction. So that’s where this game lost me. The beginning started off strong. You start as a warrior protecting a newborn child in a race against time, facing off against the mysterious Void King. Your companion sacrifices himself to save you And it felt like this consequences of that would define yohr story going fo...

The summer had come to an end, the way it always did in my small town. The air still carried that late August heat, but the stores had already swapped out sunscreen for school supplies. By the time the first bell rang, the sidewalks were crowded again with half sunburned kids pretending they hadn’t changed over the past three months. I thought this year would be like every other one. I was wrong. I spotted her before she saw me. She was standing by the front steps like she always did on the first day, her backpack slung over one shoulder, hair falling perfectly the way it never did during the school year. For a second, everything felt normal. Familiar. Safe. “Hey,” she said, smiling...

At first, I was excited to see the faintest line known to mankind… but pretty quickly I started getting frustrated when it wouldn’t get any darker. I told myself, “Okay, clearly these tests strips are just cheap it’s probably indents. Rude, but fine.” Before giving up all hope, I decided to try again… with equally cheap tests from the dollar store. Because obviously that would give me clarity, right? 🙃And guess what? THERE. IS. STILL. A. LINE. Still looks like it was drawn by a ghost (not a friendly one) I have no idea what my DPO could be. We’re hoping for a pregnancy, but I have no clue if I’m even ovulating right now because I’m breastfeeding. I only tested becaus...

Thomas Grayson, out in the fog one night in Bradford. Its not just normal weather, more like the city breathing out something heavy and gross, with that smell from the chip shops hanging around. Screams probably wouldnt carry far in it. Anyway, they get to this row house on Thornton Road around 2:47 AM, and the doors already open, creaking a bit. Inside, everything feels off, stale air mixed with mildew and blood. PC Dawson shines his light, and they find the guy, Marcus Lyle, in the bathroom. Hes slid down the wall, tiles all slick. His mouth looks wrong, like a fake smile stretched too far, no teeth at all, just gums shining. Dawson says something like, Christ, its as if someone *****...

I had a dream that I was at a family function with my wife and kids. I left the party to go home on a motorized scooter and I got a flat tire. When I get off tge scooter to check it out There was a long screw in the front tire. Then I felt a prrsence and I turned around to see a leafless tree sprinting towards me at full speed the as it got closer to me the tree ran into a small brook next to the road and hid under a rock. I pulled out my phone and began recording because I was astonished. I needed to show my wife. The tree then disintegrated into two children clutching each other with glowing eyes. I froze because I was like "what the **** was that." Watching it frightened me. I t...

\[SYSTEM RECORD: FILE #002\] Subject: Street Anomaly / "Ghost Marriage" Location: Intersection of Daxue Road, Yunlin Status: HIGH RISK \[Investigator's Note - Day 1, 04:15 AM\] I had to leave the convenience store. I had no choice. It was the clerk. At 3:33 AM, he started whistling. It wasn't a tune. It was a high-pitched, rhythmic signal. Then the automatic doors started opening and closing on their own. Ding-dong. Ding-dong. There was no one at the door, but the store began to fill with the smell of wet soil and burning incense. The fluorescent lights buzzed and died. I realized too late: the clerk wasn't a human working the night shift. He was a gatekeepe...

Hey all, I use Claude Pro daily as my main driver, along with ChatGPT and the MiniMax. And I kept running into the same annoying thing: I'd be deep into a Claude session and suddenly hit the 5-hour usage cap. No warning, no way to know I was at 90% before it happened unless I had the usage dashboard open in a browser window. The thing is - if you time it right, you can kick start a 5h window when you don't need it, so you have \~90% remaining at the end and a fresh one ready to go. I was juggling this across three providers, doing mental math to keep windows from overlapping. I got tired of mentally tracking windows and checking dashboards, so I started building an iOS app to ju...

To the girl who gets to love her next, I need you to know that getting to love B is nothing but an honor and privilege, and you shouldn’t take a single second for granted. Loving B means loving her whole family, from living to passed to dogs. You must love and embrace them all. Her mom is her best friend, and there’s not much that B won’t tell her, so if you’re not ok with that, don’t pretend to be because CR is not going anywhere. She’s one of B’s biggest supports and the reason why you get to be lucky enough to love B. K is her baby and her whole world. Love him as your own or leave (I’m still protective of that little guy). She’s very close with her family and often c...

The day I found out I was pregnant, my boyfriend became my stepbrother. Back in high school, Dominic used to joke and tell me to call him my big brother, saying he would always protect me. I never imagined he would become my brother for real—legally. My mom was the other woman, and his mother died because of it. Dominic ***** my mom for what she did, and he couldn't forgive me either. No matter how many times I apologized or explained that I didn't know and would have stopped her if I could, it didn't change anything. That night, I waited for him outside in a summer rainstorm. I stood there all night, soaked to the bone, freezing and almost numb. When he finally showed u...

figuring i would share some parking tips for anyone going to the montana 700 show at soul kitchen on 02/16. this is basically the craziest night possible for parking because it is lundi gras right before fat tuesday and downtown is going to be a total madhouse with the parades and all the crowds. the smartest thing you can do is check out Prked first. it is an app where you can rent out private driveways or garage spots from people living right near the venue. since the public lots are going to be a complete zoo and street parking is almost impossible during mardi gras this is the best way to skip the traffic and get a spot that is way cheaper. it saves you from circling the block...

*Unsure if flair is correct..!* Hey all, I use Claude Pro daily as my main driver, along with ChatGPT and the MiniMax.

This is gonna be a long vent but I feel it's necessary. I know there's a debate over the obligation of the niqab but I've always found it so cool especially the version traditionally worn in Algeria like El Haik and M'laya. I understand the obligation of hijab and I think it's beautiful but I don't really think niqab is obligatory. However, I started wearing the niqab to avoid the unwanted attention from men. I wanna be invisible to them, I don't even want them to look at me. It may seem weird but it was so exhausting to even think about leaving the house or what I'm gonna wear. I ***** going out cuz I knew what it would be like outside, having to...

Hey everyone 😊 I’m finally ready to take the plunge into pressure cooking, but I’m stuck on a classic dilemma: electric vs stove top pressure cookers. I’ve been browsing marketplaces like Alibaba for budget imports, Amazon for reviews and fast delivery, and even checking local stores, and honestly the variety is overwhelming. On one hand, electric cookers look super convenient with presets, timers, and that set and forget vibe. That really appeals to me since I’m juggling work, family, and dinner most days. On the other hand, stove top cookers seem to offer more control, faster pressure build up, and possibly better flavor and texture if used properly. I’d love to hear from a...

I remember my first toy as a kid was a walkie talkie. It was a bulky, bright yellow thing, and I thought it was the coolest gadget ever. I felt like I was James Bond at the time. My best friend and I would spend hours in our individual backyards, chatting and planning imaginary adventures. It was our secret line, our way of staying connected even when we were apart. As I grew older, the walkie-talkie became a handy tool. It went from a toy to a practical tool. During family camping trips, it became essential for coordinating hikes and keeping track of everyone. It was how we'd call each other when we got lost in the woods or forest. Later, I used it for work. I was a camp counselor on...

The Iranian [security agents](https://apnews.com/article/iran-oman-us-nuclear-talks-protests-crackdown-50cc3b6261bfd90ebe01da64ba9576d9) came at 2 a.m., pulling up in a half-dozen cars outside the home of the Nakhii family. They woke up the sleeping sisters, Nyusha and Mona, and forced them to give the passwords for their phones. Then they took the two away. The women were accused of participating in [the nationwide protests](https://apnews.com/article/iran-protests-nuclear-us-what-to-know-explainer-845b3ac10c37727add7118ec9c2f6e46) that shook Iran a week earlier, a friend of the pair told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity for her security as she described the Jan. 16...
