I moved straight to anger and have been stuck there, and impossible to talk or live with, ever since, LOL!
Given my heritage and temperament people like me never move to the other stages, especially grief, unless it’s other’s grief.
Then we feed...

Hard to believe that sensible but passionate FReepers are treating Palin’s decision akin to a death in the family, or a failing marriage.
While her fans may have invested some money, a lot of hope and expectation she would run for POTUS - she is not, or ever was, giving her hand in marriage.
She didn’t die and maintains her faith, her family and her Country in that order. I respect her decision and believe, as many others, that her voice will be stronger for that.
As for her critics - they also gathered some nasty attitude - which is happening to Perry, Cain and Gingrich supporters. We need to simmer down and grow up. Mea culpa;)
