- If the computer support guys at work can remote into my PC and take control of my cursor from 100 miles away, why can’t I remote into Charlie’s pump while he’s in school?

- There’s a guy who has been attempting to "friend" me on Facebook repeatedly for a long time. "The only shot he has at becoming your friend is if he suddenly becomes a mother of a child with diabetes," Susanne quipped. "That’s all you ever talk to." I nearly choked on my pretzel. It’s funny because it’s true.
