MICHAELS Locations

I've been obsessed with this question for years. Not in a "let me find myself" way, but because I kept seeing people around me, smart, accomplished people, completely lost. They had the job, the money, the relationship, but something was missing. They felt empty. I dove deep. Read books, listened to podcasts, watched interviews with people who figured it out. Kobe Bryant's last interview with Jay Shetty hit different. Michael Jordan's mindset lectures. Cal Newport's research. Viktor Frankl's work. What I found wasn't some fluffy self-help nonsense. It was actually practical. Here's what changed everything for me: Purpose isn't someth...

Hi everyone, ​I’m Abdulrazak, an Egyptian writer. While Arabic is my native tongue, I choose to write exclusively in English. I am looking for honest, in-depth feedback on the introduction and the first chapter of my latest work (it’s not a long read). ​Since I am writing in my second language, I am particularly interested in a 'Line Edit' style of critique. I would appreciate your thoughts on: ​The Prose & Language: Does the phrasing feel natural? How can I improve the flow and word choice? ​The Style & Description: Is the imagery effective? Does my specific writing style resonate, or does it need more refinement? ​I’m looking for blunt, honest crit...

I took some more pics of the small stuff :) So here are the tiny bottles. I filled them with different materials and glued the corks in place. Red filling: small stones I found at a social thrift store Yellow: round hot glue pellets (in Germany we call it Schmelzolan) Green: moss from the model-making section White: seeds from an anemone Blue: glitter craft stuff Some of the bottles already contained these fruit slices and I added tea bag strings. Some still have small pieces of tea bag paper attached :D The labels were painted by my daughter. The paper comes from old tea bags, which is why it has that brownish colour. The bottle now has a red neck and a new label. The red paint is just na...

Apologies for wacky formatting, I typed this on my phone. To preface, I work afternoons and nights at a big brand craft store. There’s a 50/50 chance you get it right, but my point is the people who work there are kind of eccentric. For example, The co-worker in question has a bit of a motormouth. She’ll tell you everything going on in her life if you manage to stay in earshot for more than five seconds. She’s gender-fluid, has a recently married ******* sister, a fiancée, she knew a guy who collected ducks with his girlfriend until they broke up and she took them in the split, etc. As you can see, I like to listen. Last night she was there. Not on the clock, but she was buying som...

**TL;DR:** **Got a Denon DP-400 for Christmas, went full ADHD side-quest mode thrifting records and building a solid 2.1 living-room system, and accidentally fell deep into vinyl. Started by buying albums I already loved, then learned how to read labels, matrix/runout codes, and mastering info and realized several picks were early/original-era pressings. Collection is small but intentional — a mix of US originals, high-quality Japanese pressings (living in Japan), and a few modern reissues used as clean play copies. Focused on sound quality, learning the craft, and sharing music with my son. Info was cross-checked with ChatGPT — corrections welcome.** I have been wanting a good record ...

Description: Kaetram is a 2D pixel-based MMORPG I've been developing for many years. Originally starting as a passion-project and a tool for learning has grown into a fully functional MMO. Kaetram takes a lot of its inspiration from RuneScape, so many similarities are present. The game features a consistent update schedule, we regularly update on a monthly basis, and have done so for nearly a year. We strive to listen to the community's suggestions and have implemented many of the requests. We have recently undergone a complete graphical and mechanical overhaul. We have improved the early-to-mid game experience and have tried to make it much more user friendly for newer players t...

**Chapter 3** Beer in hand, Emmett Wilson reclined across his faux leather couch. He’d been working construction *all day*, and his body ached from hours of installing prefabricated wall paneling. Do It Right Builders, his employer, was building a new Fallbrook housing development, a plague of tract homes, carving out miles of vegetation in their quest to pave over the planet. Still, the job covered his rent, so he couldn’t complain too much.      His forty-two-inch television was on, broadcasting a *Futurama* rerun Emmett found hard to follow, his mind drifting along its own currents. Mainly, he contemplated women he’d dated over the years, wondering if any of them had been ...

nb4 "Cutscenes are AI" comment They are not, nor is the music AI. Nothing here is AI. It's important that you know that. We worked really hard on this, and of course someones first comment last time I posted this was "This is AI" Classic. I spent a LOT of money to make sure there is no AI in this game, and people still accuse me of crapping it out with a push of a button and using generative AI. Is the AI in the room with us right now? Lol, I get the presentation may look a tad unprofessional, as in not done by a major studio. But that doesn't always mean AI. I mean if you think about it more then a second you'll quickly realize this was all com...

​This list is categorized by city. I visited all these spots (except for those in Square brackets, which were in the plan but I couldn't make it). I didn't buy items from every single shop. For shrines, I’ve only listed the ones where I bought charms (Omamori) because of their beautiful design or meaning—I haven't listed every shrine I visited. Note: The list is aside from Eki stamps, Fukeiin, Goshuin, other stamps, Manhole cards, and other card collections. ​1. Osaka - ​Hokoku Shrine: Bought a clear Omamori. - ​Osaka Castle: The top floor has various souvenirs; I bought a castle-shaped pin. - ​Pokemon Center DX (Daimaru Shinsaibashi): Mostly plushies, but I bo...

As they reached the stone dwelling carved into the cavern wall, Delit was already waiting outside beneath the lamp posts fixed into the rock. The chimes above the doorway rattled softly against the stagnant cavern air as she greeted them with. “I have been waiting for you.” She held several letters in her hands. Their thin paper edges fluttered like moth wings beneath the pale lantern glow. Those letters had arrived during their absence. Congratulatory messages sent across underground lines and tunnel couriers. From distant settlements. From friends who lived far along the rail corridors. From relatives who could not travel through the caverns in time for the ceremony. They had become ...

A while ago, y'all convinced me that this quilt pattern (picture 1) was legit so I made the plunge and I've now started work on it. Some of you mentioned that I should keep you updated so okay, here's my FPP routine. I love FPP it's how I got into quilting and it's still my absolute favourite. I make up the individual pieces and keep them in a box, this is from Michaels (picture 2), I think it's for scrapbooking or something. I keep all scraps, and I always say when I start that I'll keep them organized by colour but that never happens. (picture 3) All the pattern pieces in a pile, no order. I do the small ones first then work my way up to the larger...

Been playing around for a few hours now. Its a little confusing at first, but here are some things I have learned so far; * There is a new 'stamina' called Vitality - you earn one point every 6 minutes and have a maximum of 720 that can be stored. Doing things in the garden uses up vitality and there are tasks and achievements around it. https://preview.redd.it/rsxka6z4phag1.png?width=537&format=png&auto=webp&s=7bbd1c508bea1063326842e52adb5046058aed6c * There is time-gating in addition to the vitality. Plants in the garden take time to mature. Cross-breeding seeds in the garden takes 20 hours * There is a new section of achievements just for Home which do...

Hi everyone, I am looking for feedback on my fan game pitch before I start developing. I spent a lot of time on worldbuilding, brainstorming about mechanics & features I would love to have in, and many other things which led me to RPG Maker XP instead of ROM hacking. Now, after a lot of theoretical work and planning, I am ready to slowly start developing and seeing some actual visual progress. Before I do that, I want to see if it would be well liked. **The game is called:** Pokémon Festival of Champions **Plot:** You awaken alone, disoriented, on a distant island that seems torn from the edges of reality itself. The horizon of the sea is so vast that you can only see the oce...

What is Tarkov and how to view it? Tarkov contains the mechanics of free-to-play games, as much as possible, divided into pieces, and all their drawbacks. But for your money, including buy-to-play items from the arena for the battle pass that buff you, which is why you often see streamers playing the arena "through the pain of a smile" since there are perks that speed up the progress of nerfed loot and experience from the main part of the game. 1. Grind - they loot jade. If you need to get something for a quest, it will start dropping somewhere after about 8 raids or 5 hours of game time spent (sometimes more). Items stop dropping until a certain period. 2. Inventor...
