So can you lose your job over old age probably not if you are an employee and can resonably perform. However Lisa is part entertainer and may have had a personal service contract that can be cancelled and that cancellation negotiated. Ratings may be part of it ( not the hair part, and no brush offs.)

You be the judge 😉 anything can happen. Good luck everyone 🤠.

Stay calm and carry on, this is not legal advise however your opinion matters. Your welcome to use our comment bar.

Long and Strong bring muscle to bear.

One purpose to rate, make no mistake

Win or lose; makes no prose.

But stick it out and champion lore to adore!

Be your best with no pest, that’s the test.

Until your place invites your pose.

Then respect and value will impose, life grand.

And you live forever in the minds of many.

Who knew the game and played beyond penny!

Two minutes per day.

We will be losing 2 minutes per day right through to October until we come to the fall equinox.

This is timely as scientists have reversed there view on northern southern glaciation from a steeper tip on the axis and more sun. To ocean currents from equatorial regions (el Nina and El nino) impacting icing.

anyway there is less sunlight now cooler overnight weather leading into lower dew points and some comfort from wildfire fears at least for us about 600 m in the South Central interior British Columbia good luck wherever You are and be careful be safe and don’t let not only the bedbugs bite but the firebugs bite.

Stay safe…
