MAGA my ass! The first and biggest problem are people who don't give a jolly ole damned about anything except themselves and why others won't hand everything to them on a silver platter. I'm mostly talking about my own family. I am in my 80s and my wife is not far behind. We have had to shovel our own snow twice today because our daughter and son-in-law are too busy thinking for themselves and their pets. We have 4 grand children (all young boys in 20s and 30s) who can't get off their lazy asses long enough to even consider someone might appreciate some help. What’s a family for anyways? Just a waste of good oxygen. In the mean while I’ll hire someone to come snow blow us out, because family is useless.

I am not happy about how my own family treat the elderly, that be my little sister and her 3 children.
Now i visit my mother 2 times a week, to do some shopping ASO for her, i have even been pushed wayyyyy past my boundaries and had to change her diapers.
Now my sister like me do live a 40 min or so drive away, but her oldest daughter live just 5 minutes away, but they only visit the old lady once every 2 months or so.
Today as i left mom gave me a scare, so i said " i will see you Saturday when i get back " and she said " yes if i am here at that time "
I am personally very very happy i have not fathered any children, and have a lifetime of practice in being alone, CUZ there is no doubt i will die alone too, not that i would want anyone there to hold my hands or such, i think death like so many other things, like getting a phone call is a private thing.
I am no spring chick myself, but there will be no elderly people lacking anything when i am around, so i assist where i can, and if there is a need some day with someone bothering a elderly, well we will just have to see in my flying double drop kick still work, and if i can land it without breaking something myself.,
I am still ashamed that when a kit there was a little old lady living at the forst floor where we lived on the 2, and there was 3 floors in total so 6 apartments, well no one noticed little old Miss Sorensen having been dead for weeks.
That kind little old lady deserved more.
How people / societies treat elderly - sick and animals in major gauges for me on how to respond to those / that person

just one word..dissapointing,sorry I wish I was close.
amd ,most often acceptable inaccuracy.
This is Dr. Phil McGraw!
Most times, we can't rely on folks to do the right thing and we sometimes have to swallow our pride and just come out and ask for help?
In addition, they may have always known you to be a gidder done kind of guy and if things need to be done you have always relied on yourself?
Now that you have hired someone to shovel, did you offer to pay your grand kids first? The reason I ask, your grand kids might have come out and offered to do it for free and were totally unaware that their granddad is now in need of help????
Something to ponder!
