Yeah, they violated the agreement. But they don’t have nearly the resources that Whataburger has. Maybe they were naive or just thought they wouldn’t care. WABTX could’ve just said, whatever, it’s just a food truck.

Oh, and they changed their name to WAB. 🤣

Technically the NC WAB violated an agreement by having (gasp) a food truck.

I know the What-a-Burger 13 changed their name recently to put it all behind them.

The lawsuit involves a confidential coexistence agreement the Texas-based chain says What-A-Burger #13 violated.

And I’ve been a panthers fan for 20+ years. Used to go to at least 1 game a season. Splurged for a few playoff games. I have more panthers jerseys than canes jerseys.

Maybe I’m wrong and they’re turning it around, but it still feels like their current ceiling is meh.

I’m still on the move-on train.

448 yards passing, which makes his per-game average still sub-200. 25% of his season total in 1 game.

If you can’t pass for 200+ regularly, that’s unsustainable without a stellar defense.

One opened up down the road from me but I just can’t. The way they bullied the NC What-A-Burger rubs me wrong.

I did try In-n-out in LA, and it was good. It fantastic, but good. Original Tommy’s was the better burger on that trip.

$6k+ deductible is crazy high! Our highest deductible plan is $3500/individual. That's an HSA plan, w/annual company contribution. That one is $49/pp for 1 person. Mine would be $115/individual/pp

The 3rd plan they offer is a $0 deductible plan. Copays/Coinsurance will cost more.

We transitioned to BCBS-AL last year from UHC. I'm just about to do our open enrollment, and this had me looking at my current rates so I could compare. Currently ~$350 per pay period for family of 4, including dental & vision. $1250/person or $2.5k/family deductible.

There are many out there with more experience to give you guidance, but yes, I would invest a good chunk of it. And if your work offers 401k/IRA matching, contribute AT LEAST the amount to max the matching. That’s free money.

But also, who said all bond films are chronological? As long as he doesn’t die *multiple* times you’re fine.

I play pickleball and the people in my neighborhood are always saying I should play with them.

Me: Oh? when do you play?
Them: weekdays at 9am!

💔My condolences, and sending you love today. I hate that bad things tend to stack themselves on top of each other. I hope that your daughter appeals successfully, and you & your extended family can grieve & remember your godsister.
