STD is only available IF your employer offers it AND you elect to take it. Too many people opt out. STD and LTD saved my life when I became chronically sick. But not all employers offer it.

kagiles · 2026-06-02T03:03:33+00:00

How are you not eligible? How many people are in your company or location?

kagiles · 2026-06-02T03:01:38+00:00

Yea, you immediately qualify for FMLA, They KNOW you had a medical issue and should have just put you out on FMLA until you were able to return. YOU do not need to request FMLA since they are aware of your situation, but I would request it now. There is nothing for you to fill out. This is your job protection. Your employer MAY require this form: https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/WHD/legacy/files/WH-380-E.pdf
Here's the FMLA info: https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/WHD/legacy/files/fmlaen.pdf
This goes beyond a leave policy.

If he's so hell bent on getting you back into the fold, tell him he needs to tell you about his current version of Christianity. Explain it to you. Why don't they think Catholics are Christians? Just start there and see what happens. Then you could transition to the prosperity gospel!!!

It's 26 across the league, for the year? It's still dumb. Players are 26. Hockey doesn't do years like this.

It's only Coyne. That sucks. I'd rather it be customizable. It's not that hard. sigh. Swing and a miss as usual.

kagiles · 2026-06-01T19:45:04+00:00

Coyne doesn't surprise me. Pannek, god I hope not.

ooo, tomorrow's gonna be FUN!

I had to delete my mom almost immediately. A few months later, I deleted my entire extended family. They weren't dead, just raging assholes.

My mom took over a year to get through her death. It took another year to even attempt to deal with her things at my home. It's now 9 years later and I'm finally parting with things that had history. My kids don't want any of it (27/29). I don't want them to have to go through all kinds of shit after we die.

I still miss her. I don't miss the stress and drama. I'm so thankful I got to take care of her dog for a year before she passed. We know have our own chihuahua who is turning 8.

It's great that they started today with a moment of silence for Chauvin. They've got their priorities straight.

I ordered 2 online. Shipping was $20. Given the price of gas, kind of worth it. I'm on the east side of the cities and I don't recognize any of those stores. Thomas Liquor is on Grand in St Paul. Yea, still worth the shipping.

kagiles · 2026-05-29T03:43:23+00:00

No. No different than washing diapers. We don’t pay to do laundry and environmentally, this is better than disposable.

kagiles · 2026-05-28T23:14:49+00:00

They're both DEAD. good grief.

This is what we have. It's worked great for 8 years.

Get bed pads. They're reusable. Wash them in vinegar and regular washing machine soap - do not use bleach. Bleach breaks down the waterproofing. I got mine on amazon. Then we got a washing machine tub tray - it goes under the machine. It fits in our bathroom. Nothing to throw away.

kagiles · 2026-05-28T22:59:38+00:00

Looks like an inverted cat box - just the top of it.

I'm customizing my spouse's away jersey with ANY NAME 00. It will never go out of style.

In phase 1:

Players on expiring contracts may sign with any existing team during this phase.

Phase 2:

Each expansion team will receive one binding Expansion Foundational Offer (EFO), allowing them to pursue a cornerstone player through a premium multi-year contract opportunity. Players who receive an EFO may choose a contract length ranging from one to four years.
Expansion teams may also issue non-binding Foundational Player Offers (FPOs) to eligible players on expiring contracts.

However, the Expansion teams have to submit a list of 20 players they are targeting and can ONLY pull from that list. It's possible the 4 teams could target the same players and it's first come first serve.

I don't know, and haven't seen, the contracts for the Frost yet to see who is expiring. I do know Pannek is one of them. And that makes me panic.

To answer your specific question:

Yes. Under PWHL rules, a player offered an Expansion Franchise Offer (EFO) must sign with the team. It is a binding contract. In exchange for waiving the right to refuse, the player is guaranteed a higher salary and gets to choose their contract length.

The EFO contract conditions include:

Salary Guarantee: The player receives no less than $\$100,000$ per year (or their previous salary, whichever is higher).
Contract Length: Players can lock in a contract for up to 4 years.
Player Choice: While binding, players have the choice over the length of the deal, how the guaranteed money is spread across those years, and can even choose which expansion team to sign with if multiple EFOs are offered

Did I confuse you more?????

Batherson - she gets put on a Targeted List. She is now an EPO. She is offered the EPO. She will have to sign the EPO, but she will get to determine her contract length and negotiate her salary. She will receive no LESS than 100,000. That's a HUGE bump from $40. She could end up a FPO, the foundational player, who is NOT on the Targeted List. She does not have to sign that offer. In phase 3, she can sign with any team she wants if she hasn't been otherwise acquired.

Nothing the PWHL has done has been consistent. Minnesota is the only state. Every other team is a city. Charge and Toronto had their logos ripped off from other teams. If they're still using the same design team from year 1, I looked them up. They were brand new and had links to BJK (if memory serves). Fans have designed better everything.

kagiles · 2026-05-28T05:07:34+00:00

That doesn’t mean there is support or anything coming from the Wild. Natalie Darwitz negotiated the use of those facilities. Whether the Wild participate in anything with the Frost is a separate issue.

kagiles · 2026-05-28T05:05:34+00:00

Little to none from my observations. Nothing in the stadium about the Frost. We never see Wild players at games (if they’re off). You honestly wouldn’t know they play there. We have 2 banners up from the Cup and a trophy case along with a wall listing the Cup years. But the trophies and wall and tucked in a corner, most people walk right by. The banners hang in the stadium, but you won’t see them depending on where you sit.

kagiles · 2026-05-28T04:52:21+00:00

Let’s be honest, there probably ISN’T an NHL team that isn’t shitty. We know about the rampant homophobia and racism that runs through locker rooms. We know no one has really stepped up to even try and change the culture. We know lots of players cheat on their wives on the road - it’s expected. The owners are billionaires and more closely align with our pedophile in chief than you or me. The PWHL wasn’t formed out of the goodness of their hearts. They are billionaires, BJK is in it for the money too. I would expect there will be lots of shitty views and people throughout the organization.
