Greg--You can get your Basic Lump Basket that has a designer meds container so you don't have to leave the sofa for meds.
I think the hat with a straw idea is brilliant!
I have one suggestion in the case of Lumps with caller ID: you have to remember all those numbers! How can that possibly be done? I recommend what I use: a digital answering machine with no message. After two rings, it picks up and a mechanical voice says "Please record message" and most people hang up. Those who know me will start talking (Shar, I know you're there, pick up, this is Blank calling, don't pretend you're not home, I know you are on the sofa. Come on, off the sofa, up girl up, pick.....) then I pick up my cordless phone which I keep by the couch.
The only problem is the mess on the phone left from my sticky brown lips and sticky brown fingies.

> Thanks for the warm welcome, I really appreciate it! Your Lump Basket idea is borderlining on sheer genious! Might it be possible for you to concoct a Zyprexa/Neurontin drink for me? My meds are the one thing that I will drag myself from the couch for. I envision one of those beer hats that you see at all the football games, a can on either side and the straw in the mouth. Then I never have to leave the couch....My company bought me a laptop thinking that it would make me more productive, little did they know... One thing you might consider adding to the basket is a lifetime membership to Webvan's home delivery service, the single greatest invention in Lumptonian history me thinks. Perhaps Shar should document this for historical purposes?

Anyway, you get the idea - from our couches, from underneath our blankets, our chocolate-coated fingers extend in a V-for-victory sign. You have returned just in time for my clever idea to make us all wealthy.
