Update and a chuckle

So, I called the surgeon's office again this morning and spoke with Teresa.  She has the fax verification of the information being sent to the insurance company of February 4th, plus she refaxed it yesterday after getting my message (would have been nice had she called me back to tell me that, but whatever.  Surprised her name is not O'Dalys, but I digress).  So, I called my insurance company again and they have it noted now that they received it yesterday.  So, here we have killed a whole week.  See what I get when I'm patient?  Patience is overrated, I tell ya!  

Anyway, I asked Kimberly (the insurance rep) how long approval takes and she said 24-48 hours.  I asked "So 24-48 hours from yesterday?"  She says yes, unless of course, they need something else which they notify the surgeon's office for and then once they have that it could take another 24-48 hours.  Then she added "Business hours".  So what is a business hour?  Does that mean, no weekends, which I would have assumed anyway?  Or does that translate into 8 hours a day Monday-Friday, meaning they technically have 8 business days?  

They have till Tuesday and I call again.

I got an email today that I have gotten like three times before over the years, but it ALWAYS makes me laugh.  Might be my demented sense of humor, but I thought I'd share it anyway and even if you have already seen it before, perhaps it might bring you a smile when you need one today.  The whole pig thing just kills me.

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. (Hardly seems worth it.)

 

  If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (Now that's more like it!)

The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.

(O.M.G !)

  A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. (In my next life, I want to be a pig.)

 

  A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.) (I'm still not over the pig.)

 

  Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour (Don't try this at home, maybe at work)

 

  The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off. (Honey, I'm home. What the...?!)

 

  The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.

(30 minutes..lucky pig! Can you imagine?)

  The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)

 

  Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity)

 

   Butterflies taste with their feet (Something I always wanted to know.)

 

  The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.(Hmmmmmm......)

 

 Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people. (If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)

 

Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump. (Okay, so that would be a good thing)

 

 A cat's urine glows under a black light. (I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)

 

  An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. ( I know some people like that.)

 

  Starfish have no brains (I know some people like that too)

 

  Polar bears are left-handed. (If they switch, they'll live a lot longer)

 

  Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (What about that pig??)

 

Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread these crazy facts and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to, maybe even a chuckle. In other words, send it to everyone !  

 

(and God love that PIG)
