So you are saying, instead of 15 minutes, she gets $15?

Does one pay sales tax on gift card and then the recipient pays sales tax on their purchase with the gift card?

LOL, not sure, but i don't think so. I've never had to pay tax putting money ON one, but you always pay tax for stuff, no matter if you pay cash or gift card.

No,

Example: I go to Home Depot, pay $25 only and recieve a plastic card.
Give plastic card to Bubba and he goes to Home Depot and buys a $23 pink flamingo to put in his yard. (Assume 7.5% sales tax) Cashier takes off $23 + $1.73(sales tax) and Bubba now has only 27 cents left on his card, in addition to a nice new pink flamingo in front of his double wide!

O'Hare is the worst airport ever.

DFW, with the addition of the new rail, is surprisingly AWESOME. You can get anywhere in 5 minutes.

I think that title belongs to LAX.

Surprisingly, though I'm an extremely frequent traveller, I've never been through LAX. If it's genuinely worse than Chicago, I'll have to go see that for myself. I guess I'm a masochist.

Denver's another fantastic airport.

I've been to O'Hare. LAX is a complete dump compared to O'Hare.

Here's what you can look forward to at LAX:

1. Waiting for at least an hour to check-in. My flight check-in was outside, in the LA heat/smog.

2. Concourses that are shoulder to shoulder with people who don't bathe.

3. Waiting approx. 3 hours for a rental car, again, with people that don't bathe.

So, basically, you're saying it's like tailgating at an LSU game?

There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works!

Great advice. rule of thumb: If it's electronic, and it's over a thousand dollars, buy it (or build it) online. Or at least do your research. There are some extremely crappy electronics out there. newegg.com is your friend.

Wal-Mart's budget TVs are actually pretty good, though. Duraband puts out a mean 24 incher for like a hundred bucks.
