First responders is a buzzword created during 9/11. Bingo! Soon after everyone was a first responder. Some cops on 9/11 weren’t first responders. Or second. Or ever.

GobbleDog 984 Posted June 1, 2023 Asked my 11 y.o. daughter if she wanted water or whatever and she responded "I'm good." Oh hell no, not in my house. Your options are "no thank you" and that's all. I think she learned "I'm good" from her mother who I also straightened out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
