#Daddy_A informed me that he had been briefly hospitalized twice in September. He did not tell us when it was going on because everyone is already fiscally tight, so we’re not equipped for a trip to see him.

Today is #coin-laundry day. I also noticed a nearby #pizza and #pasta shop where I used to take #sonTwo (I think we brought #Daddy_A one or two times; I took #sonOne there a few times when he was in high school), so I considered buying something ... until I read their health grade placard. At last inspection, they had major violations, but still got an "A".
Major violations could be #cockroach infestation, sewer backup, rodent infestation, employees not handwashing after using the restroom, sick employees coughing and sneezing all over the food, and other such issues.
No thank you. Kill somebody else.

Speaking of memories, for all these years, I have been shopping at the #Target store where #sonTwo and #Daddy_A worked. I have seen the service slide, followed by stockouts -- even before #COVID-19 -- of specific products, followed by general inventory shortages, followed by replacing known good products with low quality store branded products.
I still go to "Super Target" instead of #Walmart or the nearest supermarket. Or I go to the cross-town supermarket and stop by the Target in that area.
But I'm not happy with them. If someone opened a clean and well-stocked store within walking distance with the quality products I want, I would switch in a heartbeat.

It looks like Kenan Thompson is starting to lose weight. I have mostly seen him when he was a Nickelodeon star in the 1990s, from watching “All That” and “Kenan and Kel” with #sonTwo.
(I did try to watch “Spongebob Squarepants” with #Daddy_A, but I just never enjoyed the show. Like when I tried to watch “Ren & Stimpy” and “Beavis & Butthead” with #sonOne. Sorry, I just can’t do it.)
-
I just suggested that the 9-15 year old grandkids might enjoy model rockets. I do not know whether #sonOne and #Daddy_A will follow through on the suggestion, but at least they have the idea.
-
Sitting in the city "lunch park" and observing the trees where #sonTwo and I lost a couple of model rockets. One of them was returned to my workplace by a city worker. The other worked itself free and blew into someone's yard.
We only did rocketry for a year or so, so we never got to bring #Daddy_A into it.
-
Thanks to timezones, I missed my regularly scheduled #videochat with #sonTwo and his family.
I was unsuccessful in scheduling a chat with #Daddy_A and his family. I also planned to do an unscheduled chat with #sonOne and his family.
-
From #Daddy_A:
> The day nurse is what you would be like if you had chosen medical instead of tech.
Yes, another hospitalization.
-
I predict that #Daddy_A and his family will be seeing stars soon.
I sent a telescope. Well, I sent a telescope for #A1 last year, but it was one of those kids' science kit tabletop telescopes. This year's telescope is an entry level stargazing scope from Celestron. It came with a cellphone mount, so they can watch the screen and take photos of what they see instead of sticking their eyes up to the scope and potentially knocking it down. Oh, and it comes with some sort of astronomy software package.
I don't know anything more about it than that.
-
#Daddy_A reports that he had a reaction to some medication a few days ago and wanted to go to the hospital, but couldn't because his wife was already hospitalized and there was no one to take care of the kids.
I asked #sonTwo to call him and find out what we can do to help, but apparently, he recovered without intervention. (I also mentioned that #sonOne is 2-3 hours away, which is about 3 hours closer than #sonTwo.)
Anyway, he's better now and is repurposing a #Raspberry_Pi 3 that I sent for #A1 into a project combined with an #Arduino UNO R3.

I saw a headline earlier with the BK word and Coinbase in the same sentence, but hadn't stopped to read it.
I'm sure @guizzy@pleroma@guizzyordi.info can give the exact wording, but there's a saying in the cryptocurrency world that if your coins & tokens are not held in an offline wallet that only you control, they are not really yours.
The point of cryptocurrency is about weakening the power of the intermediaries who currently choose the winners and losers. One cannot do that while simultaneously leaving one's holdings in the custody of yet another intermediary.
We should think of exchanges as places for money in transit, not as places for money at rest. Western Union, not Bank of America.
That said, it is alarming that the word bankruptcy is being bandied around and as far as I know, their customers have not been warned of the danger.
I will inform both #sonTwo and #Daddy_A, in case either of them has an account and left some currency in the account.
-
#Daddy_A reports that the #microBit and #Arduino kits have arrived.
-
While I was here, I bought a rice cooker that also serves as a slow cooker. I shipped it to #Daddy_A, because this assignment is nearing its end.
-
#NOAA / #NWS issuing #tornado and severe #t-storm warnings for SE #NE and SW #IA and central #KS. If you're in #Nebraska or #Iowa or #Kansas, be sure your phone has weather alerts turned on and buy a weather alert radio.
I did talk to #Daddy_A and Mike/Ami/Jade tonight and informed them that severe weather is heading their way. These were regularly scheduled calls, but I was able to talk about the weather (and about the Brooklyn subway shooting).
Colby is also in that area, but I do not have a regularly scheduled call with him.
-
I told #Daddy_A that the kids can share this. I am not buying two more. https://nu.federati.net/attachment/285665
-
Gave #sonOne and #sonTwo my shopping list for whenever I'm able to visit. I don't expect to have more than one day with #Daddy_A unless he's able to meet at a central location.
-
#sonTwo told me that "Mom" bought #GS3 some clothes. I passed on the opportunity to inquire, but I do wonder whether he means that he's communicating with his biomom or he's referring to #Daddy_A's mom (he called them both "Mom" during childhood).
There were some years of radio silence, so if they've ended, that's a good thing.
-
I saw character pajamas on sale, so I'm pacing around the children's clothing section waiting for #Daddy_A to tell me what size #A3 wears. He's already given me her brothers's sizes.
-
@geniusmusing It does. Especially since #Daddy_A had phone problems, so he never replied and didn't get into a videochat either. And #sonOne was working.
-
When #faveNephew was about 14, the TV news said "Your teen is texting pictures of their private parts to other people. This is called 'sexting'."
I was in Ohio, but I called him immediately and said "If I ever hear that you did that, I'm going to beat your butt". The same conversation was had with #sonTwo and #Daddy_A.
I do note that I did not call any of my other nephews to tell them that. I called the one that I knew would listen to me.
Still, I wonder whether other parents and adult family members were doing their jobs when their child was young enough to listen whenever I see a 20-something post exactly that kind of content.
