Emails - 10/17

My sister told my wife and I that she was pregnant with her first child. My wife said congratulations and gave her a hug.  I said that I hoped that it wouldn’t end in a still birth and told her that I would pray for her and the baby.  For some reason it put a bad mood in the air.  I felt like I did the right thing.

I just realized that tomorrow is my last day on earth!  My suicide is planned for tomorrow at 10 pm and I can’t wait!

I saw a cooking show the other day and this lady was making homemade salsa.  I felt so offended by the sexist overtones that I shut the tv off and wrote to the network that produces the show.  What are they trying to say?  Just because I am a woman means that I should be forced to prepare salsa in my spare time?  No thank you - I can go out and buy my own.

As a transitioning man, I find it extremely difficult to find a healthy alternative to the typical junk foods like potatoe chips and popcorn.  I mean, I enjoy carrots and raisins, but I really miss the saltiness of the other stuff.  Maybe this life altering procedure wasn’t the best idea...
