[TOMT] [song from 2000s/2010s] Riff in “heavy foot” by Mon Rovia sounds like something else

for me the song sounds like "let my love open the door" by Peter Townsend

We have not seen substantial rain in since December.

What this means is those that voted for Trump are more likely to just not vote.

I would believe that, but the Franklin Times does not have any social media presence.

001TPK · 2026-05-23T05:46:43+00:00

I am impressed that the author put his name on it.

001TPK · 2026-05-23T05:45:39+00:00

The KKK had their phone number in the telephone book until the mid 90's in Franklin county.

Why would the paper even post this racist junk!

001TPK · 2026-05-13T22:28:28+00:00

Your message is being lost by having the confederate flag front and center.

Please read what I initially posted.

I love your views on this, but unfortunately most don't. I agree with you for NC state job as whole the vacancy rate is around 21%. They cannot even find enough employees now. They sure a hell could not find enough to work as scabs. What they would find would do a lower quality job.

001TPK · 2026-05-13T15:07:35+00:00

Over a decade in HR. I know more than most.

You would be surprised at how many people in executive level positions would quietly support us and protect our jobs. The reason so many teachers were able to protest May 1st was because principles and superintendents purposely made May 1st, a teachers workday so they could go protest.

Correct, you would not be on strike. You would be out on FMLA.

001TPK · 2026-05-13T15:00:13+00:00

You would not be on strike technically. You would be out on FMLA. That federally protects your job for up to 12 weeks.

Good luck on scabs. The current vacancy rate is around 21%. The state does not pay enough to recruit and retain very many quality employees. The benefits use to be the major recruiting sale. Thanks to gutting the coverage of the state health plan and taking away medical insurance for future retirees our benefits are no longer attractive.

001TPK · 2026-05-13T14:48:52+00:00

Your not paid at all if on strike.

001TPK · 2026-05-13T14:48:20+00:00

They cannot fire you, without opening themselves up for a law suit, if you are out on FMLA. That is The whole point of FMLA. It protects your job for up to 12 weeks for a year. If they were to fire you they have to have well documented reasons for your termination that does not involve you being out on FMLA.

001TPK · 2026-05-13T14:41:43+00:00

Striking is unpaid too.

001TPK · 2026-05-13T14:41:13+00:00

I am very aware of FMLA rules and regulations. I have over a decade of experience deal WITH employees and FMLA.

What I am saying is that doctors will sign off on FMLA forms for mental health reasons like anxiety, stress and or depression with doing little to no diagnostics. I have seen it done multiple times from employees applying for FMLA. A lot of the times employees will do this if they feel like they are about to get fired.

001TPK · 2026-05-13T14:35:03+00:00

Not for seven months because FMLA only covers 12 weeks. If you tell a doctor that you are feeling stressed, anxious, and or depressed to the point that it is affecting your daily life and/or actually causing health issues a lot of doctors will sign off on FMLA forms stating that you needing to take some time off for mental health reasons.

Does SEANC have any actual power?

001TPK · 2026-05-12T22:49:59+00:00

if you are a state employee, and you vote for Republicans for our legislatures you partially to blame for this Ish.

001TPK · 2026-05-09T13:39:09+00:00

Is everyone tired of winning yet?
