rofl @ this thread, i was ina really bad mood and about to kill dh but now i won't

how have I not seen this before!

So the general jist is that OP & Others dont like to be told him to feel, yet everybody else is being told what they can do. Fair 'nuff.

FWIW, I was actually saddened by Heath Ledgers death. He was not much older than me, and when I heard the news I did feel shocked and sad. Does that make me a saddo??
