Upcoming pumps will give you an alert if you get too close to the drain.

Hope they are also considering adding a "doorknob fairy" alarm........it can be so embarrassing when trying to make a dignified exit from a room and those little fairy fingers reach out and grab your infusion line and wrap it around the doorknob. I swear I can hear them laughing.......

I always seem to get my line hooked on drawer knobs in the kitchen, It jerks you back real fast!

Have any need for someone to score original music for the film? I've never tried it, but have been seriously interested.

Interest is always good. I would love to have some music. I wouldn't be able to pay you though, I am working on a micro budget (as it stands, almost no budget). I am using my skills to borrow, beg and steal what I need (But obviously not stealing as that would be very wrong).

I was suffering a low at an all you can eat salad bar. I went up to pick out may food knowing a need a fast acting carb. I looked at all of the fruit and moved on, again knowing I needed some sugar. I pick out some food and went back to the table. Apparently my brain and body were not on the same wave link. I looked down on my plate and had brought back a piece of lettuce and shrimp tempura.

Here's a story for you. I don't know if you can use it but it amused me at that time and I tell it often:

At my wedding, after the ceremony and all the picture taking, I started to go low. My maid of honor had stocked her purse just for this reason so she gave me a granola bar to eat. My new father-in-law saw me with the granola bar and said, "you should share your food!" Then he proceeded to take the granola bar out of my hand and rip off half of it for himself! Fortunately, my maid of honor went into protective best friend mode and snatched both halves out of his hand and informed him I would not be sharing any of my food.

I've been pumping for close to 12 years now. I lost count how many times my tubing has found it's way out into the open air while doing housework. Consequently, I've found myself tied to drawer pulls, tangled up with a pile of laundry in my hands, and the best was I closed the dryer door and tried to walk away and made it about 4 inches before I snapped back realizeing my tubing was inside the dryer. If there would have been a hidden camera in my house, I probably would be $10,000 richer from America's Funniest Home Videos.

Also, it wasn't funny at the time, but now I can laugh at it. While in college, I lived in an apartment in a somewhat creepy part of town. I guess one of my used syringes fell out of a garbage bag I was taking to the dumpster. A few days later I got a knock on my door from an apparant druggie offering me cash for clean syringes. Freaked me out at the time, but in hindsight it was quite funny.
