about you being laid off and totally understand your fears. I thought if you got laid off you could get COBRA for a year or so from your employer. Am I wrong on this?
A bit off topic. I live in Kansa City and since December there have been so many store closings and layoffs here its very surprising. I thought, supposedly, the economy was doing so great. Well it sure isnt here. Anyone else seeing this in your towns/cities?
