Avoid import tax.

I want to send a friend a small gift that I made. Like a mosaic mirror. Value $200.00. He is in Italy. I am in USA. Is there a way for me to pay the import tax, instead of saddling him with the tax charge?.Or maybe I could send him a Money order or personal check to cover the charge. Thanks.

Regift a gift card

Can I regift a gift card? A neighbor gifted me a 26 dollar supermarket gift card. A kind gesture. But I don't really need it and would like to gift our mailman with it. Is there the possibility that when he goes

Band saw to cut plexiglass

I'm interested in cutting 1/4 inch acrylic sheet as cleanly and quickly as possible. A jewelers saw would take too long. This would be for bangle style bracelets...so pretty tight radius and curves. I don't mind a little sanding to clean up rough edges.

Barbie movie

As an adult male in his 70s, do you think I would enjoy the Barbie movie. I am gay, so that might help.

Where does home go after death of owner?

I am a caretaker for my brother who has ALS. We are both in our 70's. He owns a suburban home with about half the mortgage paid off. I have lived in the house, on a seperate level for 10 years as his caretaker. I share the kitchen in the house. He promised the house to me at the beginning of his home care with me. About 4 years ago he had a will written up stating such, plus some monies he has. It hasn't been witnessed and signed as of yet.

Prebake apples for tart?

I'm going to make an apple tart using puff pastry. The store bought kind. It's a simple tart with a puff pastry base and sliced apples in a single (overlapping) layer. No top pastry. And an apricot jelly glaze. My concern is the pastry will be baked before the apples are cooked through. I don't want al dente slices. Would it help to saute the sliced apples in a bit of butter and then layer them in the pastry? Or am I needlessly concerned?

Make a tart or traditional cherry pie?

I have a 24 [oz. jar of Morello cherries. It says packed in syrup, but I think it's cherry juice. Which is fine. I just need to thicken it up with some starch if I want to use it in a pie or tart. I understand that you can also use tapioca, which I have never used. One question is does tapioca show up in the finished filling as white specks? Also does it pop when you bite into it...like those bubble tea things. If so, I don't think that would be appealing to me. The last part of my questions involved weather or not to make a tart instead of a pie. I have never made a tart, but I bought a new tart pan and am anxious to use it. It has a removable bottom and the bottom has hundreds of tiny holes in it. I

Should I be worried about crossing the Canadian border?

About 17 years ago I was having severe toothaches, and just wanted the pain to go away. Aspirin did nothing. I searched the internet and found a source for aspirin with codeine. I ordered 36 tablets. Two weeks later I received a letter from the border people (govt) saying they have confiscated my pills and if I do it again I will be subject to a fine and or jail time.
