For two years, endocrinologists have been arguing about where to set the bar for the diagnosis and treatment of a failing thyroid, the gland in the neck responsible for secreting metabolism-regulating hormones. Some say a single, mildly elevated blood test is enough to start drug therapy; others advocate for more compelling evidence.
The big question first: How much money should we spend on wedding gifts? It definitely depends on how well you know the couple. If a member is in your immediate family, the trimmed mean 1 gift spending was $147, and if theyâre extended family, that drops to $71. If thereâs a close friend in the couple, the average spending was $82, and for someone you consider just a friend, the average amount given was an even $50.
Couples spent an average $220 per guest at weddings in 2013, according to TheKnot.com, including $66 on food alone. But all of our experts agreed that basing the cost of your gift on how much you think the couple is spending on food and entertainment is an antiquated notion.he majority of wedding guests who are friends of the bride and groom spent less than $100 for a gift, according to a 2010 survey by TheKnot.com. Relatives shelled out an average of $146 on wedding gifts and were twice as likely to spend more than $100 compared with friends of the couple.
