Is the $1000 deductible or they need to get a receipt?
That’s alot of heavy lifting and risk for only 1000 bux. These guys need to go back to the drawing board and come up with a better game plan. And reb cherry-bum, keep your day job; the stand up routine isn’t working out so well for u.
Wow that Is a terrible thing to go through. BH they are ok…
