I have a Toshiba Regza 46XV645U, and the closed captioning came on spontaneously last Friday and won't go off. I have followed the directions in the owner's manual to turn it off, but that did not work. I also reset the TV to its factory settings to no avail. It's driving me crazy! Thanks :)

I want to make my own invitations, but I want the wording to be raised ink. I think the method would be either engraving or thermography. Can anyone recommend where I can get about 100 plain white or off white cards printed using one of these methods to use in my inviations? The size would be about 4" by 5". Thanks!

I would like to get two of my cousins, who are both 13 years old, some magazine subscriptions for Christmas. I am considering CosmoGirl and Seventeen. Can any parents or older readers let me know if they think either is inappropriate for girls their age? I do not object to factual discussions that present all sides of issues that kids confront these days, such as drug and alcohol use, sex, etc. However, I would not want to send them anything that condoned unsafe behavior. Additionally, I would want any political messages or articles to present all sides or candidates from all parties. I want them to learn to make informed decisions for themselves in their lives, so I am looking for a magazine that can help them do that. And maybe pick out a cute outfit and liptstick :) Thanksin advance for any advice!

I would like to spend a night or two at a romantic hotel or B & B. My one requirement is that the room has a whirlpool tub or hot tub for two. Any suggestions?

I take 1000 mg of metform 2x per day and 4 mg of Amaryl once a day, but my morning (fasting) sugars are still high no matter what I eat for dinner or when. I am curious if Byetta would help this at all.

I am thinking of getting my Dad a garbage disposal for his birthday. I'm looking for a ballpark figure for how much I can expect to be charged for installation by a plumber. I live in northeastern MA. Thanks!

I bought this set at Sephora, and it made my face swell after two uses. Eventually I got an itchy rash, and it took a week of Benadryl and a course of oral steroids for the swelling to go down. Has anyone had a similar problem? If so, what ingredient caused the reaction...any idea? I can't pinpoint it, and I am desperate to try other products.

By the way, I know people who love the system, so I am not saying it's bad. Also, Sephora happily refunded my money, which was awesome.
