| |  Contest - Contest - Contest
With the permission of this forum, Carlye and I would like to sponsor a contest.
What kind of contest you ask?
Well, as most of you know, Carlye will be getting her new pump soon, the rep had asked Carlye what she would like to name her pump. She looked at him kind of funny and he said "some people name their pump cute names like Einstein" or I'd imagine in Ducks case the ducking. 
Well, my usually witty and sarcastic daughter was, for once, speechless. So, this is where you come in....
This is a contest to see who can come up with the best name for Carlyes new Cosmo pump.... The one she likes the best wins a awesome diabetics basket of goodies....
We will run the contest from posting until Midnight (Michigan time) on the 24 of June with the winner being posted by the 27th of June.
Some things that might help you choose a name:
Carlye is 11 and 3/4
Carlye is not a very girly girl (doesn't care about clothes, or boys yet)
Carlye's favorite TV shows are Friends, American Idol and House
Carlye is a member of the National Junior Honor Society
Carlye Loves to Bowl
Carlye Went to London and Amsterdam as a member of People to People and Team USA to participate in the World friendship games
Carlye is a Crane Game Addict
Carlye is very witty
Carlye is very Sarcastic
Carlye wins her battles with logic
Carlye adores her Grandpa Norman whom she feels she inherited her great ability to win at the crane game, and her bent pinky finger. 
If you need more info on Carlye, feel free to ask questions, I'll have her answer them.
Enter as many times as you like but each on separate posts so we can keep track of them.
Good Luck and Have fun!!!
Kelly and Carlye.

| | | Well, I love the winged horse. I think it's beautiful. Just an idea, I meant no harm.
Maybe Phoenix, for it helping her with a new beginning.

| | | I have never actually thought of naming my pump? For those of us that are a little older or had older brothers and sisters; how about little Nash Rambler or just Nash, cuz every time anyone sees me using it it going of like the old song, "beep beep" (corny I know, don't hate me for it)

| | | Hi,
Ok, since Carlye is a fan of American Idol.......my first response would have been "Simon"
But, since she is also a fan of House (so am I)
I have to go with ............."Doc" (final answer)
Maybe I'll post a separate one for Simon.
BTW, I have no name for mine........that I can use in polite company LOL
August is my 9th year with it, and it not only saved my life, but added years to it also.
Good luck with this, I hope Carlye finds a name she likes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I figure this thing will be a part of our life, we might as well have a name for it.
"Carlye did you remember to change " 's" batteries?"
"Carlye did you take " " swimming with you?"
"Carlye Download " 's" brain so we can fax it to the dr."
Kinda fun....

| | Locutus Prime,
wasn't it?
That was Jean Luc Picard's Borg name on Star Trek Next Generation.
Very appropriate given that we are living through the use of a machine, and most of us could say we are borg, ourselves. lol
Personally, I'd rather call mine "7 of 9". Jeri Ryan is absolutely delicious!!
