How hard for Thai Citizen to visit U.S.A just for a short holiday?
The worst part is you have to pay first and when they reject her they keep the money. A niece of ours tried to apply 3 times. She was in college, owned a home and had a job. They kept making different excuses each time to deny her. Finish school first, learn to speak English better. Get a better job.

Potassium too high, any tips?
When my wife had a high potassium level at a check up they gave her a drink that was supposed to flush it out of her system. Her next check up her level was normal. I read that bitter melon has 50 times more potassium than bananas. She had been taking a bitter melon supplement, which we stopped. I don't know for sure if that is what caused it.

Thai logistics firm in hot water as labour exploitation claims posted
About 20 years ago I had a friend that was a Frito Lay driver. One day they called all the drivers in for a meeting. They told them they were reducing their commission from 5% to 3%. They had the audacity to tell them that the company found the drivers were making too much money and getting into financial trouble. When in fact the real reason for doing it was to force the drivers to try and sell more product to make what they were making before that.
