Back update / disability insurance

Just a quick update on the back/disability insurance situation. I went to the back doctor today so he could see that I'm fine and feel ok writing that I'm recovered so I can get disability insurance. So he did, and he's used to dealing with the stupid insurance companies (in fact, even been brought to court). I got a note, and faxed that. If they need more info (ie, what does he base that comment on), I have the detailed report from the visit, which I don't want to give them because it does state that I have compressed discs in my neck (which don't affect me, but still). My doctor said he had heard once about a guy who was getting a divorce and the insurance company made him sign an amendment that they wouldn't cover him if he became disabled due to a psychological problem. Lordy.

Dick and Jane NOT for kids



I don't know why I thought of this this morning. But I remember when I saw it in the movie theater - my mouth was gaping the entire time, and I was just shaking my head, amazed. It's incredibly twisted - BEWARE. I love animation festivals where you can see things like this juxtaposed next to beautiful, serene, funny, or dark films.

You vote: Who is more insane?

My husband:

Leaving Saturday to go on a week long trip, half of which is hiking by himself in the wilderness on a trail for which the description notes: do not hike by yourself as this area is frequented by mountain lions.

Me:

Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane with a parachute.


On a side note, he's been nice to me ever since I said to him if he wasn't, I'd hide kitty treats and/or catnip in his backpack. He says that he's bringing along a big ball of yarn to throw if they come after him.

And we had a conversation tonight about what we'd want if each one of us died. Semi-serious. Good to know info. He's kind of upset because he wouldn't get insurance money if I went splat on a skydive. Oh well...sucks to be him.
