Found out my da has an aortic aneurysm. Also it's hereditary in males, so me and my son will need to be tested/monitored.

That’s a right pisser, but the warning is very good to know.

Had to have my dog put down on Saturday. Felt like a murderer carrying him into the vet.

That is the the exact opposite of reality. I made the mistake once of waiting a few days too long to take an ailing cat in to be put to sleep, and it haunted me for years. It also make it extremely easy just over a year ago to recognize the need to take our aging cat in to be put down because she was clearly in pain…and I feel so much better about stopping the pain for a great pet I spent 16 years with.

I don't think you can roast anything in them

Certainly not cheese

Actually, just picked up some toaster grilled cheese sandwiches at Costco. 5/10, too flattened and not substantial enough, but acceptable taste and they work when you’re in a hurry…30 seconds in a microwave and then toast medium.

Think maybe I need to talk to someone about this....

You'll just have to buy them from now on, instead of nicking them. 

Is stealing condoms a big deal? Imagine having a security tag on them and some employee having to come and remove it at self scanner. 
 

The same goes for pregnancy tests 3 years ago when I last bought one the young lad working there needed to request assistance in getting the security tag off and it took about 10 minutes. It was probably the only time I’d been rude to someone in a shop before.

Which was probably about 8 minutes more than the act itself necessitating the test.

I didn't want to hurt your feelings so went for what I thought was an average time.

I spoke about it before but when we were actually trying for a baby I couldn’t get finished quick enough, there was a weird tension in the air and I felt like I was being watched/judged by a baby.

The word 'tasty', seeing as non-tasty things have taste too.

Off The Ball is bad for this. Stuart Cosgrove describing games and players as tasty

To be fair, that includes foreplay, showering and negotiating over price! 

The Duke of Monmouth (I think) was a bit more succinct when speaking of coitus...............................
