The number opting for early retirement will affect how many need to be laid off later. The more that take the early retirement, the better it is for everyone. There could be a situation where enough employees took early retirement that layoffs were no longer necessary.

Q is going over all the special features of 007’s new car, and tells him about a new safety feature they’ve developed. It’s called, “Not-an-airbag.” Actually it makes sense that they would remove a feature that would end most James B

Just recently jumped onto the EGO bandwagon as well. Replaced my 18v Ryobi hedge trimmer. Can’t believe I waited as long as I did to do that. String trimmer is ordered and should be here by the weekend. I like the Ryobi 18v stuff for drills and what not (I have plenty), but I’ve now officially moved on for yard tools. No experience with Ryobi 40v.

Quoted4 QuoteBernDog Most everything can be changed in the future fairly easily (fixtures, colors). I suppose my biggest concern is tiling choices. If you need more outlets. Now is the time to do it. Maybe change a 2 plugger into a 4 plugger. One of my plugs has a nightlight in it. So a 4 plugger is convenient. Maybe also consider talking to an electrician about an outlet on the wall area un
