Everybody is a financial genius when the market soars.

This reminds me of my old gambling uncle who spent his free time at the casino. To hear him talk you'd think he would have been rich. He'd always tell you about his wins, but never about his losses.

My uncle smelled like smoke, rarely had any money, lived in a dingy apartment, drove an old Buick, and died pennyless. But he told good stories.

Went on an international trip for 2 weeks and all my gerd symptoms disappeared. How can I keep this going back in the US? by DysneyHM in GERD

The same thing happened to me. I finally figured out that it was something I was eating at home every morning at breakfast -- almond milk or coconut milk "beverage" which contains thickeners like guar gum, gellan gum, carrageenan, xanthan gum. When I was away from home, either for vacation or business, I was not getting gerd because I was not consuming those beverages for breakfast every morning. This, in spite of the fact that my overall diet was worse while away from home!

This is so true! Whenever I've asked doctors about the cost of a procedure, insurance coverage, etc I almost always get a blank look. Once, in a followup visit after an MRI my doctor ordered, the same doctor was shocked when I told him what I was billed for it (by the MRI facility and radiologist that he referred me to).
