Laughed till I cried!



Recommended Posts

When was the last time you almost fell down from laughing? I had to call the Texas Laporoscopy Center today to dispute a billing error (long story). Anyway, they had to put me on hold and this "On-Hold Music" kicked in. They had some wedding singer record an original tune that almost had me wetting myself. I've called them 3 times now asking to be put on hold just so I could play this gem for people in the office. None of them have recovered yet and they've started calling it themselves just to hear it. I kid you not....for a good time call 409-719-0009 and tell them you wish to be put on hold because you need to hear the inspiring on-hold music. If you don't trust me, you can point your browser to http://www.felixspiegelmd.com and click on Contact Us, compare the phone numbers, and you'll know I'm not setting you up!

After you hear it, imagine being left on hold for 1/2 hour having to hear this over 60 times in a row! Now I'm craving cheese and corn both at the same time!

I'm always in for some fun, but nobody is answering the line... I'll try again tomorrow.

But since you asked, I'm still laughing my ass off at something that happened yesterday.

Last week, I sent a girlfriend (no names) a gag gift.. a grown-up "toy" if you will. Yesterday the United States Post Office left a message on my answering machine stating they are holding a VIBRATING PACKAGE. I laughed so hard that I started sobbing at my desk, because I had to call the post office in order for them to deliver the parcel. Make a note: The US Post Office must either verify the contents of "vibrating parcels" or they are forced to open them.

Delarla,

You were supposed to turn it off after use.....and what a cheap skate you are giving a used gift to a friend! This was funny, bet you had a real chuckle when they hung up.

Do try the number again tomorrow, this is the best laugh I've had in months.

I will try an remember to call again tomorrow. I waited and got transferred to the operator but no hold music played before it started ringing. I can just see them getting all these calls tomorrow from people just asking to be put on hold........oh well, a little fun never hurt anyone.

I took my daughter to an audition in NYC, when we got there my bag was vibrating and humming, everyone in the waiting room was staring at me like I was some kind of freak, it was her battery operated toothbrush, I was laughing so hard!!! Every one in the waiting area probably thought I had a "toy" in the bag, but somehow her toothbrush got activated.

You learn something new every day: When you buy one of these "toys" the store, by law, has to open the package and insert the batteries to make sure the item works since, thank God they aren't returnable! Then they turn it off and cram it back in the package. It's not like I wanted to touch the thing, it was embarrassing enough.

YES, I had to call the very serious postal worker and tell him the contents. He tried to remain serious but I heard his coffee snort out of his nose as he tried to muffle his laugh. Poor guy.

Just when I didn't think this could get any funnier, I discovered that TLC now has a TV commercial....with the same freakin on-hold music. You've got to call that number 409-719-0009 between 9:00AM and 5:00PM Central time to ask to be put on hold. Thank God the service they perform is so much more professional then their commercial production.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
