GAP Locations

In Rutland, Vermont, we have many, many residents in need. There are a large number of folks who aren’t looking for slightly better than retail. They just need some warm clothes. It’s been pointed out that my opinion that these stores are in our community to help provide for the needy is disagreeable. I’m sorry for you folks who believe these are good prices because you want to flip them and put them into the hands of the highest bidder. I will never agree with you. You can post and argue… but, fundamentally… shame. If I’ve offended you, then it’s my opinion that you’re the reason why these stores are getting away with these practices.

Hi everyone I'm not one to write on reddit but I wanted to share my Influenza A experience. (I'm currently on day 12 of recovery). The flu started really quickly and I was underestimating it, despite being completely out of action for work and having a 40.5c (104.9 fahrenheit) fever at the highest, and kept fluctuating between that and 39.5c (103.9 fahrenheit), the lower points were 38.5c/101.3f, so still high-ish. I woke up on the first night hearing myself groan from pain, and continued that throughout the night because of the intense body aches, sweats, chills etc. At one point I was shouting because my body was clenching up a lot. The next night I woke up wanting to throw u...

Work went long for the third day in a row and, honestly, I wasn’t feeling in the *Christmas mood.* But, Town Hall was having its annual Christmas party and as the mayor, I had to go to it. I always dreaded the Secret Santa gift exchange. At the beginning of December, we all got little notes with one other person’s name at City Hall. I got Kris in H.R. So there I was, twenty minutes before the party at the SuperMart buying a bottle of wine for Kris....

A couple of years ago, my favorite warehouse club, which rhymes with shmostco, stopped carrying unscented kitchen trash bags. The box doesn’t say there’s a fragrance, but it’s \*pink\*, so obviously I should know that. Big deal, but I returned them, and \*joined a whole ‘nother warehouse club\* because they were the only place I could find with regular old honest to goodness unscented (HTGU) trash bags. Our two-year supply has run out, thanks in part to a teenaged daughter who can’t be bothered to use a bag from The Bag of Bags™️ to gather her rejected clothes for donation into, so I went back to Warehouse Club #2 for the HTGU trash bags. They didn’t have the kind with ...

Thank you all for being so patient since my last outfit post! I am finally happily adjusted to my new teaching job, and I am loving it! Another Sinner politely asked me to do some of the more recent looks our Saint has worn, and I was happy to do so. The only problem is that she keeps bombarding us with mediocre or *allegedly* stolen dresses. Here is the most recent outfits that she wore at the time of me assembling all of the looks. I will go through the looks from the most simple of edits vs the more complicated/fun ones to do. Some outfits were pretty okay, and so minimal edits- ironing, color, fit, etc. are done. I still want to do the more simple edits as it can help show other...

Before I tell my account I should state that some details have been changed, the company no longer exists, and i'm not telling you exactly when and where all this happened, all I can say is that i'm extremely skeptical of any new AI startups I see. It all started when I graduated from university, sure I had a degree in Information Technology but the field is dominated, jobs are few and far between, as an apprentice you can make some pocket money just screwing in an entire offices worth of VGA cables, but most of the jobs are tech support, helping clueless people do simple things, and off site tech support, which is a call center job, and most people, including me despise those. ...

Hi all! I’m looking for recommendations on where to donate women’s clothing, shoes, coats, blankets, and some household items in the Raleigh area. These belonged to my mother and me, and everything is in good, clean, usable condition. I’d really prefer the donations to go directly to women or families in need, rather than being resold in thrift stores. Does anyone know of shelters, women’s centers, community programs, or mutual aid groups in Raleigh that accept items and give them straight to recipients? Any guidance or personal experiences would be super appreciated. Thank you! 💛

plumbing is my passion (not even joking) so I wanted to share my tips for the NYC BWT bc these are things that should hopefully save you a lot of time, money and stress: 1. **do NOT NOT NOT use Draino (or similar type of product!):** draino is basically a concoction of super harsh chemicals that can corrode old pipes and usually won't fully clear out the clog! I knew a fellow BWT who got blamed by her super for using Draino and corroding pipes (that were probably corroded down by previous tenants who also used Draino) and ended up having to pay. instead, try a plunger or a drain snake (can buy at your local hardware store/Amazon or call someone to help) 1. Call landlord (if renting)...

First I want to say that this subreddit by far has been my lifeline for getting ahead of my drinking problem. Huge thanks out there to everyone from day 1 to day 1000 who write in with shows of support and insight. Really, I mean it from my heart. Started drinking at 16. College started as one night out drinking and by graduation it was "lets take Mondays off" from drinking. One college buddy is dead, two others went down hard but came back through AA to on the other side. Several of my drinking buddies face serious health issues. Really drank way too hard from 35-45. By 50 I was ready to admit I had lost control. My liver pain, swollen ankles and crazy gastro issues became too m...

# Wrapped up an intense interview cycle. What interviews actually look like right now (US market) I wrapped up an intense interview cycle over the last few months and ended up with multiple offers, including one from a large, well-known tech company plus startups and non-FAANG corporates. I have 12+ years of experience, mostly backend and infrastructure. I wanted to share what I actually saw during interviews, because it is very different from what most prep advice still focuses on. This is based on \~50 interview loops across startups, late-stage companies, large corporates, and big tech. # TL;DR * Fewer pure LeetCode questions than before * Much more low-level design and real-world co...

Chapter 1 The key turned silently in the lock, just as I'd planned. Three days early from the Singapore conference—I'd wanted to surprise Matthew with his favorite takeout from that little Italian place on Fifth Street. The house felt different the moment I stepped inside, charged with an energy that made my skin prickle. A woman's laughter drifted down from upstairs, light and musical. Not mine. My briefcase slipped from numb fingers, hitting the marble floor with a sharp crack that echoed through the foyer. The sound should have alerted them, but the laughter continued, now joined by Matthew's deeper chuckle—the one he used to reserve for me during our lazy Sunday ...

Thick knit, solid stitching, heavy embroidery, real buttons — and it’s from Kmart of all places. Meanwhile, I walk into stores now and everything feels thin, plasticky, and barely meant to survive a season. Presumably from the late 1990’s-early 2000’s at $19.99 would be around $34-$36 today. Even at today’s prices it would be difficult to find a material composition like this. This is exactly why I thrift. Older clothes were made to last, even “fun” seasonal stuff like this. Anyone else notice how much better older clothing quality is compared to what we get now?

Authors note: I posted this awhile back in the first creepcast submission sub, and I meant to poster it here properly the other day. A lot of stuff has happened since I first wrote and submitted this entry, hopefully I'll be able to explain more with the next entry I post. Hello, I don't know how to properly explain this, but I have an addiction. I know how that sounds, but what I say is different from what most people say when they have an addiction though, they'll usually go to a program or get help, or just say screw it and continue to spiral into their vices. I fall somewhere in between. My addiction runs deep, since I was a kid with a neglectful/workaholic parent and too...

A lot of people recently believed that Childe was just an unreliable narrator and was judging too quickly with ignorance when it comes to other harbingers. But given what we know now? He's practically 100% accurate. #Dottore, Signora, Pierro and Scaramouche. He practically says nothing. #Capitano Basic. He just says that he has high strength. Talking about being too low to notice would be a metaphor about the strength gap and not a literal thing of being not noticed. The group has 11 overseers it's impossible to not interact. #Pulcinella He tries to see the good in him (like what arlecchino says about him). The narrative has a clear indication of him being a dirty poli...

ISO stores/reputable buyers in or around the area that may purchase second-hand designer clothing. Thanks!

**Updated Results:** Interesting so far! Definitely would like to know why my puck prep for the 10 Day Dose caused channeling, as I've got a good grinder and I needle tool my grounds before tamping with a self-leveling Normcore v4. If anyone has any thoughts on this, let me know! I'm leaving for my 2 week trip now, so I'll post my next update at the end of the year. So far though, it's looking like freezing is the way to go and I need to diagnose my puck prep for more consistency. |Date|Event|Result|Note|Winner| |:-|:-|:-|:-|:-| |11/19/25|Roast|||| |11/25/25|Bag open, dial in, freeze.|1.6 grind setting, 21 in 24 out.

My boyfriend and I have a car but we desperately need another vehicle. The only cars in my budget are sketchy Nissans and cars that will quickly become sunk costs. There is a Trek bike store about 5 miles away and as someone who had an ebike and enjoyed it I'm considering it again. Relevant info: ● We have a car, so groceries and storage isn't an issue. ● We have no kids and no plans to have kids ● Weather is temperate but winters get pretty cold. Rain is sporadic. ● My commute is about 18 miles there and back, but I work split shifts so it's really over 36 miles a day (and that's if I don't go anywhere during the gap). So I would ideally need it to go about...

Been jobless for a few months, still applying consistently every day, but unfortunately the job market is horrendously bad right now. Anyways, I’m currently trying to make a list of ways I can make some money until I find a job again (and continue to do any side hustles I can while I am working). So far I have DoorDashing and reselling clothes/collectibes I find at thrift stores and antique shops, but I’m looking for more. To preface, I’m currently at *literally* nothing financially, so I can’t really do anything that requires me to invest in something. I’m also not interested in any “surveys”. I would geniunely appreciate any ideas and advice greatly. Side note: I do live ...

I ran the numbers properly, and this isn’t opinion or doomposting. This is exactly what the stats in the report are saying. The UK housing market is not "cooling”, "resetting”, or "pausing”. It is structurally jammed. Prices are barely up at around 3% year-on-year, which is below inflation, so in real terms prices are already going backwards. At the same time, transaction volumes are down roughly 37%. That combination matters. Prices are being quoted in a market where hardly anyone is actually buying or selling. That means prices are no longer being discovered by a functioning market. They are just the last number agreed by a very small group of people who still can tr...

Maddy sat on her couch running a brush through her hair, eyes glued to the TV. She knew she had to leave for work, but the news captured her interest the second it mentioned the town she lived in. "We begin this morning's broadcast with breaking news from Winston, Florida. The body of 48-year-old Debrah Cohen was found buried in a shallow grave off Sikes Boulevard. We have reason to believe, 52-year old Robert Mcgomery is the main suspect." Maddy put the hairbrush down and thought about how close that was. Sikes Boulevard was only about 20 minutes from her home. Nothing like this had ever happened close by. Lakeland Florida wasn't the safest town in the world, but straigh...
