Q: When you present your cheeses, make sure that they are not too close together. Stronger smelling cheeses can overwhelm lighter cheeses. If you place your milder cheeses close to a stinky cheese, they all may end up tasting like the pungent cheese. Spreading out your cheeses also makes it easier for your guests to get to them. If you really want to give your cheeses some room, consider placing them on their own plate or platter. You should also avoid placing the cheeses in close proximity to the foods with which you have paired them. This will prevent stronger smelling items from overwhelming your lighter cheeses. Although it may be esthetically more pleasing to have everything clumped together, spreading things out will preserve the flavor of the cheese and prevent any traffic jams at the hors d'oeuvres table. For your softer cheeses, make sure to give each cheese its own knife. This will prevent a cross-contamination of flavors. The same is true for your harder cheeses if you decide not to precut them. A butter knife will work well for softer cheeses. You may need a paring knife for harder cheeses. In order to help guide your guests, you may want to consider arranging your cheeses in a clockwise fashion from mildest to most pungent. You may also want to label the cheeses and briefly note their characteristics. Place the cheeses on a circular platter or a Lazy Susan to facilitate access and visibility.
A: Give the cheeses some room. Keep the cheese separate from other foods. Use a different knife for each cheese. Create the proper arrangement.

Q: Get in touch with a doctor as soon as you realize you are too sick to fly. With a note and proper documents, you may be able to get partial or full reimbursement for a missed trip. Even if you have travel insurance, you can be denied repayment if you don't see a doctor before cancelling. See your doctor, then cancel. The doctor's note should briefly explain your condition and state that you are not healthy enough to fly in a certain time period. The note should be on the doctor's official letterhead and signed. If you end up with the flu or a life- threatening condition and cannot make a scheduled flight, reach out to the airline. Ask them about their policy regarding sickness. Some airlines will require you to cancel 24 hours in advance of your flight and to sent them the signed doctor's note or a copy. Some airlines have set cancellation fees. You may be charged this fee when you cancel your flight and then refunded once you provide a doctor's note. Be ready to file a travel insurance claim. Travel insurance often covers cancellation because of illness. If you have a plan, submit the doctor's note as well as your unused tickets, receipts, and other proofs of payment. Some people rely on animals like dogs for daily help, to navigate or for other physical and emotional needs. If you use a support animal, you can qualify for special accommodations by getting a doctor's note. Landlords and airlines have to accommodate people with disabilities, for instance. By having a demonstrated need, you can bring your support animal with you on flights or into a normally pet-free building. The law interprets disabilities widely. Chronic depression or pain, AIDS, autism, cancer, or heart disease can all qualify as disabilities. Some people keep support dogs for serious depression, for instance. Talk to your doctor about a note. It needs to be on letterhead and signed, and she must verify that you have a medical disability and need a support animal. Whether you reveal your diagnosis is your choice. Again, this is confidential information.
A: Talk to your doctor before cancelling a flight. Reach out to the airline. Seek a doctor's note for support animals.

Q: All the pieces of this puzzle are identical, though some may be different colors. Choose any piece to begin with and lay it down vertically on your table or work surface. Each piece has triangular-shaped "peaks" that stick out as well as triangular-shaped "valleys" or indentations for the "peaks" on other pieces to fit into. Use a piece in a different color than the first. Turn the new piece sideways so the peaks point outward, and situate the middle peak of the new piece into the farthest valley, or indention, of the first piece. The pieces should be perpendicular to each other. Choose a piece that is the same color as the last 1. Turn it sideways and fit it into the closest valley of the first piece so the 2 are perpendicular to each other. The peaks should be pointing toward the last piece you added. Select a piece that is the same color as the first piece. Flip the new piece over so the peaks and valleys face downward and it is parallel to the first piece. Nestle it on top of the 2 stacked pieces. At this point, you should have 4 identical pieces that are interlocked. Turn the puzzle sideways so that there are 2 pieces pointing vertically. Hold the puzzle in 1 hand and use the other hand to slide a piece horizontally in between the 2 vertical pieces. Turn the puzzle over so the last piece you added is on the bottom. Slide the last piece in between the 2 pieces that are sticking up vertically so that it is parallel with the last piece you added. You may have to wiggle or manipulate it a bit to get it to fit. You've now solved a 6-piece wooden star puzzle!
A:
Lay down 1 piece vertically on your workspace. Stack another piece in the farthest valley of the first piece. Slip the next piece into the closest valley of the first piece. Stack a piece on top of the last 2 pieces. Turn the puzzle sideways and fit another piece in between the 2 vertical pieces. Flip the puzzle over and fit the last piece in between the 2 vertical pieces.
