15 punny/funny ways to break bad news to people

Yes, these would be inappropriate. I also definitely stole some. 

  1. "Here's some cheese." "What?" "Well when I break the news, you're going to wine."
  2. "So we can cremate your father, which I think would be most appropriate." "Why?" "Cause he always wanted a smokin' hot bod."
  3. "He doesn't appreciate my fruity humor." "Girl, you gotta let that mango."
  4. "I hate to tell you this, but your boyfriend is like stairs." "What?" "He's always up to something."
  5. "Your wedding photos turned out grainy." "Why?" "Cause you insisted we shoot in a wheat field."
  6. "You'll never be a doctor because you don't have enough patience."
  7. "I'm sorry, but I can't marry you right now. I'm a melon." "What?" "I cantaloupe."
  8. "Your breakfast was waffle."
  9. "You're about to be a horse." "What, doctor?" "After I tell you your medical news, you're going to have a long face."
  10. "I'm glad you're a duck." "What?" "I'm putting this all on your bill."
  11. "You must be a naughty rabbit." "Huh?" "You're having a bad hare day."
  12. "You're like a dairy cow that can't produce milk." "What?" "An udder failure."
  13. "I don't know why I'm not getting dates. My opening line is hey." "Well people don't want to date horses."
  14. "Have some tequila. It probably won't fix your night, but it's worth a shot."
  15. "Your father, the cartoonist, was found dead." "Oh no, what happened?" "Details are sketchy."

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica...

15 ways to support me on my parental journey

I posted yesterday and in August, 2023 about starting my parental journey. If you're wondering how you can support me, here are some ideas I have at the moment (though these may change and also don't feel pressured to do any of these things). Check in via text or DM so I can respond at my leisure (but please don't be insulted if I take a long time to respond) Help with arranging food for me (I know that when I get overwhelmed, I often have really awful eating habits) Offer to help with apartment chores (I may turn you down, but the offer will mean a lot) Walk Hoban (I realize only some people can do this, but the relief of lightening the responsibility of Hoban will likely be welcome) Be understanding if I have to cancel plans (I hope to still be somewhat social during this time, but I cannot guarantee how I'm going to feel) Drive me to appointments (I have the retrieval itself covered, but I have other appointments that will happen leading up to it so if you have the...
