Why oh why?

There's this fast-food chain that confuses me. Same logo, same company, but in the Midwest it's called Hardee's, and here on the west coast it's called Carl's Junior. Odd.

confusing things, random

Carl's Junior bought Hardee's between 10 and 15 years ago, but didn't change the name, so they could keep the existing name recognition. Kind of like Hellman's mayonnaise and Best Foods mayonnaise.

Yeah, I wondered about that, too.

Yes! To properly enjoy the peculiarity of Fayanora, one needs a sense of humor, a sense of fun, a sense of silliness, patience, the inability to take mistakes personally, an open mind, an open heart, and the understanding that I don't always consider how my words sound and so if I have said anything that sounds like a personal attack it probably isn't unless one takes it personally and then it can possibly devolve into one. Because I'm a nice girl and I like people, generally, unless they give me a *really* good reason not to. (Like harassing/bullying me, accusing me of racism or sexism or any other ism.) There aren't many nerve clusters that, when pressed, will cause spasms of rage in me, but watch out for those that are there. :-) But it's okay, really... if I get to know you and start thinking of you as a friend, I grit my teeth in silence if you accidentally press one of my sore spots. Still learning how to do that with total strangers and enemies.
