- Toddler Can I kill my dh? Tested positive. He put a mask on and walking around doing whatever the fuck he pleases. Go and fucking isolate.
- you two are clearly not on the same page re covid. i'd be pissed and would go to hotel and make him pay

- Yes, please kill him
- Yes, please do
- Ugh that’s not right. But I also wouldn’t want to be delivering meals to him so coming out sometimes would be ok
- Umm, that's not legal. Law says you must quarantine if positive.

- Toddler This post has been disliked 6 times. Biden just unleashed 500000 criminals onto this country
- It was good while it lasted, but some of the moves he's made in the last few days are going to cost us the majority in two years and the election in four.
- And if the Republicans run a moderate we are doubly screwed.

- Toddler In The Crown, who did you relate to in the Charles/Diana thing? Sometimes I related to Charles. Diana was so cringeworthy. Like a teenage girl.

- She was a teenaged girl when he married her! And she was pretty immature even then.
- Charles
- Diana.
- she was 19 I believe, when they met
- Married
- I could see it from both viewpoints. He was in love with Camila and couldn't marry her. He was forced to marry someone he didn't love and with whom he had nothing in common.
- She had an excuse to behave that way. He on the other hand was a total tool.
- He wasn't in love with her and was jealous that she was the star of their "show".
- She upstaged him ina very obvious fashion, she was a disaster and out of control. Damaged goods even more than he. An out of control mess of insecurities and impulses
- He wasn't in love with her and was jealous that she was the star of their "show".
- in the crown he seemed like a revolting, ungracious, ungenerous person. however, she seemed like a simpleton and i wasn't surprised that he was revolted by her.
- You're missing the part where he was 30 and had to marry a virgin. So, not any choices near his age.
- He was a giant brat, make the best of it and stop throwing your gf in your wife's face every chance you get.

- Yes they love it. It’s the junk food that masquerades as salad
