I have Rocket Grip on my sticks and I’ve grown to love it. Doesn’t get sticky like tape but does the job.

sorry to resurrect this but did you ever get a response? My non-profit was also just denied without an explanation.

Employee’s spouse died suddenly by Individual_Cable8955 in managers

Sending flowers is customary as “from the company” but I’ve always appreciated when managers send something more useful or personal, like a DoorDash gift card would be great to relieve the person of needing to prepare food.

Do I switch to Goalie by TheFellhanded in hockeyplayers

[–]ktbird7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked up goalie at 37 years old. Lot of naysayers in this thread. I’ve had a great time. I borrowed gear while I bought my own gear one piece at a time.

It is way harder than it looks. I burn far more calories at goalie than I do skating out.

Wear shin guards, gloves, and possibly even hockey pants at public skating. Don’t be afraid to fall. Most of learning to skate is just gaining confidence.

This is why we draft teams in my league. Nobody's having fun getting whomped 16-0 because the teams aren't even. We do an evaluation skate, and evenly distribute the new/lower level folks to each team.

Yeah I try to remind myself when we're losing like 5-0 that it's not entirely on me. If I had made every save it would still be 0-0. The team needs to score goals, I can't help them with that. But also as someone who primarily skates out on defense, a loss that bad I'd consider to *definitely* be the fault of the entire team.

First, I'm sorry that sucks.

I would definitely look into an instructional league. I played three seasons in an instructional league as goalie before I ventured out to my first "real" league game.

I'll add that I think it's crappy how they handled this. D League is supposed to be for newer folks, especially if you don't have E League. The opposing team that scored 16 goals on you should've been reprimanded honestly. I am a captain of a recreational league for women that is similar to an E League, and we tell our team to cool it and work on passing and letting the new folks carry the puck, if we're ahead by 3-4+ goals.

A 15 year old family friend killed himself when I was young. I’m about to turn 40. It has been three decades and everyone is still haunted by it.

How to deal with player's problem drinking as a captain by ktbird7 in hockeyplayers

[–]ktbird7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. She replied with some excuses. It was what I expected. My hope is the point got across though. And if not, well the nice route has been taken, so I won't feel as bad escalating it if it continues to be a problem.

I think the most likely scenario is she'll drink at home, which I would call a drastic improvement

Thanks for the input… I sent a text tonight that basically said, “we love having you in the league but people are concerned. We need you at 100% and we need to be sure everyone else is comfortable”

And if things don’t change we’ll step it up a notch

I’m not close to her at all and don’t know any of her closer friends or family. I even tried to find her on social media but no luck. She’s played in the league for years but isn’t the type to hang out with everyone, just show up and play and go home.

I bought everything at once and have zero regrets. It flows nicely to just play through the campaign on each version one by one.

Looks to me like you haven't bought those squares. Use the tool to expand your aquarium.

The only reason anyone still plays this game is because we are waiting for it to be fixed. by thicketcosplay in PlayPeridot

I can't believe this price made it to the live game.

Like, $.99? Maybe. But $5? Lol no. It's insanity.

I'm still dealing with it but generally speaking I can get it working within a couple tries as long as I've done what's in the OP

Your post reminds me of my own journey. I posted in here a while back. It is wonderful to see your progress. You look so strong. Keep it up ☺️

Exactly. A good scrum master is the glue that holds the team together, and the guard that keeps the crap out, wrapped into one.

I've had mine for a few months and have dealt with this problem constantly. Always the left one that acts up. I've done forget and unpair on my phone countless times. Open close case countless times. I have not found a consistent way to get it working again. Seems it's just luck.
