Real Republicans like McConnell and Bush live inside a Gated Community, does this help at all?
@corbe@mystery-ak @Freya I lived in a gated community which was situated where there was a lake. After a period of time, I was asked to take the responsibility of the guard shack at our gate. This is voluntary, not a paid job. A guard was always at the guard shack. I did that and updated what was wrong with the gate at that time.
I set up a system with maps. I put a device there so the guard would hear the message when an ambulance was called to come there. The guard would designate the house on the map. When the ambulance came through the gate, they were handed the map as there had been times the ambulance couldn't find the house.
The shack had an oxygen tank there. It was dangerous to use on a child as the oxygen mask was the type to force air into a person. It would have blown out a child's lungs. I changed the mask to one that wouldn't do that. I became an EMT so I could respond to calls and go to the house before the ambulance got there, to evaluate the patient, do life saving methods if the patient needed that, filled out a form I made up to give to the ambulance people with the patient's status at that time and I put the patient's insurance information on the form so they would not have to do that. They picked up the patient with that information on the form, so could load the patient more quickly and head to the hospital.
I was in my sixties at that time. I was the oldest in the class to become an EMT. The instructor told me he told his wife if something happened to him to call me before she called for the ambulance.
The moral of the above is, when you are older you don 't have to sit and do nothing. You can find a way to help others to make your life more meaningful.
