And today is 9/11. Imagine that. Better that I stay home from work than to spread my disgust that may be contagious. I wonder how many other people feel the same way.

[shelterguy]

You are not alone.

[The Louiswu]

Sorry you feel that way, I hope you feel better soon.

[rainee]

Same
& yes, not alone 🥹

[spincaster]

Yes

[defconw]

Yes, you are not alone.

[Tommy Revolts]

Same. Sadness, no sleep, sick feeling.

[al baby]

Wuss. Go to work

[Vision]

I’m going through some level of the stages of grief.

Don’t wonder too long if you have other things to do.

The gravity of the loss of Charlie didn't hit me until I said a prayer for him and his family as I lay in bed. I had trouble going to sleep..

I thought, "Nobody can replace Charlie" to lead the crusade to recruit the youth into the conservative movement. My wife suggested Donald Trump Jr. Although he doesn't have the Biblical acumen, he is energetic and compelling. I agree with her choice.

Take solace in knowing you are NOT alone. God bless you.

I struggled sleeping last night...i kept waking up thinking about Charlie and his family- at least a half dozen times...i kept praying for him as well realizing the little annoyances in my life are just that...

That said i am REALLY PISSED OFF!!! REALLY, REALLY ANGRY!!

[proust]

Yes, I woke up too early feeling crummy, started thinking about the whole mess yesterday and couldn’t get back to sleep, mind racing. we’re in deep trouble as a country

[NoLongerTrappedInNY]

Feeling the same, although I am working today. Sick to my stomach, running on very little sleep, and having a tough time concentrating.

[Allegra]

I didn’t call in sick, but I completely get it. Hope you get feeling better.

[Impala64ssa]

I hear you. Certainly understandable. You’re not alone

I was up all night. I would doze off then wake up upset over it...more than once thinking about his wife not having her husband and his kids wondering why Daddy hasn’t come home and not understanding why he never will again and his wife having to tell them this...probably for years for the older child.

[Leaning Right]

As a retired guy, I have no work to go to. But I will be avoiding liberal acquaintances who might try to justify the shooting.

That wouldn’t be good for my blood pressure. And it might not be good for their nose, if you get my drift.

[Openurmind]

Yes, black cloud hanging over today...
