I will need to see if there is something similar around here. I plan to live here till the end--hopefully. But being alone with birds that need daily care, I want to ensure someone(s) are alerted if something goes awry.

That's great!

The local police take into account (in a biased way) when they respond to a 911 call and arrive at a residence with two gay men especially if they're elderly. Ask me how I know.

The police have been called a few times. They came to investigate the reason for one of my calls (we've both called them)- glass being thrown from the living room to shatter at my feet when I was standing in my bedroom doorway).
They also cane that time to do welfare check on my roommate.

I was told that it wasn't a crime to throw glass in your own house (in those exact words) and that if a piece of glass had hit me- "it might be a crime."

So, this time they did a welfare check.

He was high as a kite in on meth, and they knew it, was acting violently, and they knew it, and was on the verge of having a heart attack (which I knew perfectly well but they did not because they had no intention of calling an ambulance).

They decided he was good to go.

My roommate pulled a knife on me last night and told me to get out of his room.

It's only one piece of straw that breaks the camel's back. My roommate is abusive on a daily basis. I was wondering what the last straw would be. Now I know.

I like the idea of people doing welfare checks and truly caring about the the person's welfare.
