article: ractice aiming your paintball gun. Practice looking down the barrel and aiming your paintball gun, and take the gun into a safe location with a solid backstop and take a couple shots to get used to the accuracy. If you have a vertical feed gun, look down the right or left side of the barrel to aim. Even though it looks cool, don't shoot from the hip. Do not just pull the trigger and watch the balls fly. AIM from the shoulder and correct your aim as you shoot. Learn how accurate your gun is at distance. Most guns will be accurate at 50 feet (15.2m). If you are farther than 50 feet (15.2m) you may be less accurate than someone who plays PB well, has a better gun, and has better paint. If you have bad accuracy over 50 feet (15.2m), get closer so you can make up for it. When you run out of ammo, you'll need to be able to load it up again quickly to keep firing when you're playing. Practice unloading and reloading your paintball gun regularly so you can stay in the fight. Open up your new load of paintballs before you shoot the last of what's in your hopper. This helps keep your opponents' heads down while you reload. Standard loaders need to be opened up, which you'll usually want to do before you reach for a new load of paintballs. Opening the lid can be difficult without your hands free. Some paintball guns have "speed-feeds" which have no lids and are super-fast to reload. It's good to learn the old-fashioned way, but go for a newer speed-feed if you want to invest. Being a crack shot from a standing or kneeling position is one thing, but being able to shoot on the move will help you become a great paintball player. When you've got your gun and have practiced operating and loading it, practice moving safely with your gun, and firing while you move. Practice moving side to side, and keeping your gun at a steady level. Set up some cans or other targets to strafe as you run. Only practice in safe areas with a backdrop. The backyard's probably not the best idea. Find a place where you can set up some cans to practice firing while you move. Stealth is one of the most essential parts of being a good paintballer. It's not all running and gunning, heading straight into the belly of the beast and coming out having tagged all your opponents. That'll only work some of the time. Learn to hide and to blend in with your surroundings as well. Run with your legs flexed, your head down, and your body as tight in as possible. The more you run around flailing about, the more exposed you'll be to enemy fire. Practice finding cover and making yourself as small as possible. Practice firing behind cover, popping out for minute to shoot, then hiding again. Get a barrel squeegee, gun oil, and valve o-rings to replace parts as necessary. All of these items should come with instructions so you should be able to figure out what to do. A clean barrel is an accurate barrel. Squeegee the barrel regularly to keep excess paint gunk from clogging it up. If you continue to play paintball you will want to buy a squeegee to help clean your gun. If you can, check your barrel between games to make sure it's clean. If you see spray spewing from your barrel, you know it's dirty and won't shoot straight. Clean it or ask someone how to.

article: Communication is the most important element of any relationship. If you don't communicate, you won't know each other's problems and concerns. As a result, you won't be able to form a relationship that is respecting of both of your unique qualities. Both parties need to define boundaries and come to a mutual agreement about each other's space, independence, and autonomy. You need to understand what your elderly person is comfortable with when it comes to being assisted or being subtly monitored to make sure they are okay. Talk to them about their expectations about your relationship. What do they expect of you in terms of assistance and interaction? Discuss use of shared space like the bathroom, kitchen, or living room. Come to an agreement about under what circumstances family or friends will visit. Discuss use of each other's personal belongings, like dishes, appliances, and even food. Figure out who pays for what ahead of time. Having finances decided and agreed upon ahead of time could save you from a headache or even legal fees in the future. Records will make a big difference here, so if you start out knowing who pays for what, and have it written down, you are ahead of the game. Also, consider the following: Include relatives in discussions about money. If you're going to be living with an elderly family member, make sure to speak with your other relatives to be transparent about your financial agreement. Be open to their feedback, especially if they will be contributing to the cost. This will help you avoid problems and resentment in the future. Consider the cost. If you will be covering the cost of your elderly relative, be informed about the costs. One recent study found that caregivers spend about $5,500 per year caring for elderly relatives. Another study concluded that caregivers spent almost $15,000 a year caring for their elderly relative. Avoid treating the person like a child. Older people have experienced life much more deeply than we often appreciate, and have many more life experiences. Ask your elderly person questions about their life, what they think, and what they care about. When possible, they should have as much privacy and personal space as it is practical to allow. Don't turn yourself into a caregiver or a nurse without need or invitation and don't violate their personal space. Always communicate first if you are concerned about your elderly roommate. Let him or her make their own choices and do not substitute your own judgement for theirs. Every adult has the capacity to make at least some, if not all, of his or her own decisions, so help enhance the person's capacity to do and choose as much as possible for himself or herself. Don't assume merely because of advanced age that people cannot manage their own affairs, even if you do not agree with them. You're the younger person with less experience. Your elderly roommate probably has wisdom and experience well beyond your own. Talk to them and ask them for guidance on issues that pertain to both of you.

Find a club that offers activities and amenities that are important to you. Look at working class country clubs for more affordable prices."

Before you can join a country club, you'll need to find one. The easiest way to find a club is to get a recommendation from someone who already belongs to one, but you can search for one on your own, too. If you don't know anyone who currently belongs to a country club, you can find a club by going online. Using search terms like "country clubs near (your zip code)" will turn up a decent number of results. It's best to do some shopping around to determine which club is the best fit for you and your family before committing to one. Make sure to pay attention to the main costs, like the initiation fee (if applicable) and annual membership dues. Most clubs will list their prices on their website, so you can get all of this information without contacting the clubs themselves. Reach out to the clubs if you want to clarify any specific costs. Some clubs expect you to spend a minimum amount of money on food and amenities each month. Others may also require or request additional money for various improvements to the club. It's also be a good idea to ask a current member of a club how much the cost of membership has risen over the past 5 years. Beyond cost, ask yourself what you want from your club membership. Make sure that the activities, amenities, and social opportunities you seek will be available to you at each club you check out. If you have young children, see if you can find a club with a playground or one that offers tennis and swimming lessons for your kids. Other activities for kids include arts and crafts or cooking classes. Many clubs have enough to accommodate people of all ages. Working class country clubs are less pricey than their posh counterparts. Most of the members have working-class jobs as opposed to holding executive positions. Additionally, more reasonably priced clubs can have activities for the whole family, not just golf. Joining a working-class country club is almost always free, but you may need to pay yearly dues ranging between $1,200 and $5,000. A pricier club will have more amenities, such as a spa or an Olympic-sized pool. These clubs also offer more in terms of dining options.
