I have sugar problem
My blood test figures don't lie. Fruit is glucose and fructose. Refined sugar is also glucose and fructose, in the form of sucrose. Glucose is what is reported in blood tests. Fructose is processed by the liver. Stick to strawberries, raspberries and blueberries if you want minimum sugar. Bananas, mangoes and lychees are loaded with sugars. -

Australian Aged Pension
I gather it was a bad week for discovering opal when you made this post. Must be tough when you are relying on "luck" for your retirement income. You sure aren't a Gina or Twiggy with your small operation. Probably ave better luck buying a lottery ticket. -

Trump’s big fat abject lie …and why he keeps telling it.
Science is never settled. Those theories however have massive data results confirming them and the possibility of new data overturning them is remote. Still, if new data DID emerge then the science would reset it's result. That is why people say the science is never settled. I agree it is nit picking. -

Citibank ATMs in Bangkok?
The rates you want to be looking at to determine what's going on with a foreign bank card here are the actual VISA and MC foreign currency conversion websites, as follows: https://www.mastercard.us/en-us/consumers/get-support/convert-currency.html https://usa.visa.com/support/consumer/travel-support/exchange-rate-calculator.html When a foreigner uses their home country VISA or MC debit card at an ATM in Thailand, it is indeed the VISA or MC networks that are setting the BASE exchange rate for the transactions -- unless the cardholder is duped at the ATM into consenting to DCC (Dynamic Currency Conversion) where the Thai bank is allowed to substitute their own much lower rate (often a 4-5% hit) in exchange for showing you the transaction amount in your card's home country currency instead of Thai baht. Just say NO to that. The only other reason a net/received exchange rate should differ much from the BASE MC or VISA card network rates for a given day is if one's home country bank is adding their own fees for foreign transactions, so-called foreign currency conversion or cross-border transaction fees. Those are very common, at least among major U.S. banks, including Chase, often in the 3-4% range. So if your net achieved exchange rate using a foreign VISA or MC is different from the daily rates shown on the above VISA and MC websites (allowing for some minor variance in rates that occur during the day), it's probably because your home country bank is adding their own foreign currency conversion fees and/or because you've mistakenly agreed to DCC at the Thai ATM.
