@simsa04 #sonOne tells me that #GS1 is taking one college class and that he's got a history of walking into relatively decent paying jobs even without training.
He suggests that #GS2 may need a psychiatric evaluation for something like ADHD. But he's living with his grandmother, so there's no one to make sure it happens. -

Oldest grandson #GS1 is too old for federal / state youth job training programs. I think his brother #GS2 has about a year left.
The younger boy works at a gas station minimart and is not motivated to do anything to change that. -

#sonOne says that he, his wife, #GD1, and #GD2 all have #COVID-19, but #GS1, who recently moved back home, has neither symptoms nor has he tested positive for #2019-nCoV / #SARS-CoV-2.
( #GS2 still lives about three hours drive time away, so he has not been exposed to his family’s viruses. ) -

> Mississippi State Men's Basketball took down the Jackson State Tigers, 69-59, on Wednesday night at the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson. The Dawgs are now 10-0 on the season after having dispatched Minnesota this past Sunday, 69-51, in Minneapolis. The Dawgs have one remaining non-conference home game before SEC play starts
From their sports supporter e-mail (I once bought MSU t-shirts for #GS1 and #GS2 and #A1 when I was working in Starkville #MS). -

Given that #GS2 is 24 and #GS1 is 26, I'm a bit confused how old #GS3 might be. But I suppose that a 20-something #GS3 should be capable of operating walkie talkies. Fortunately he's already able to unlock a door. :-) -

Going to #videochat with #GS3 and #GS4 today and hopefully tomorrow as well. Tomorrow I will also attempt to videochat with #GD1 and #GD2, and will attempt to make up last weekend's missed chat with #A1, #A2, #A3.
(In case you're wondering, I'm not attempting to set up a chat this weekend with 24 year old #GS2 nor 26 year old #GS1. I will try to get in touch with GS1 for a chat some time in August, and try to have a voice call with GS2 later this year.) -

#GS1 reports that he and #GS2 have received their mugs and watches. He said "that was awesome", but I don't know which item he was talking about. -

#GS1 and #GS2 getting Casio "G Shock" watches and "I ❤️ NY" mugs.
I usually send each a $25 Steam code. -

I decided to get I heart NY mugs for everyone. All three boys and their wives, my mom, the sister and #lazyNephew who live in the same house as I do, and #GS1 and #GS2. I walked into this gift shop and bought a whole mess of mugs. And now I think I still need a couple more.
I haven’t been doing it since Puerto Rico, but it is traditional that the grandkids all get t-shirts with the local university’s name and logo. I have not started looking for those yet.
It is also time to start thinking about replacing my backpack. I’ve only had it for a couple of months (I bought it in New Jersey #NJ) -

I should clarify that the two oldest boys ( #GS1, age 25; #GS2, age 23 ) and the oldest girl ( #GD1, age 14 ) are the only ones old enough for vaccination until now. -

FDA approves Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for emergency use in ages 5-11. https://nu.federati.net/url/283342 [www fda gov]
#sonOne is happy to be able to get #GD2 vaccinated.
I just thought about it, but I don't know whether her older siblings #GS1 and #GS2 are vaccinated. It may be that only one ( #GD1 ) out of 9 grandkids is currently vaccinated. -

#GS1 and #GS2 used to play #WoW all the time before they discovered #Minecraft and #Minetest. Sent them https://nu.federati.net/url/281846 [massivelyop com] just in case. In conversation from mustard permalink Attachments

Also got a Fathers' Day message from #sonOne on #Wire ... including a continuation of our discussion about trying to get #GS1 and #GS2 some vocational training. They moved out, so he cannot just enroll them at the local job training center. In conversation from web permalink -

Texted #GS1 a couple of times recently with no response. I surmise his phone is not working, since he's usually pretty good about responding. In conversation from mustard permalink -

#GS1 replies to my text messages eventually. Today it took 9 hours, but that’s faster than the historical trend. In conversation from Shoyu permalink -

#sonOne was teaching his boys ( #GS1 and #GS2 ) the national capitals of various countries. They didn't grasp it until the funny one (Bangkok). They learned that one quickly. Junior High minds.
They're now in their twenties. I don't know if they remember Paris or Moscow, but I'm sure they still know Bangkok.In conversation from mustard permalink -

I did alert #sonTwo, but since the family is all sick, they can’t go to a shelter anyway. #GS1 and #GS2 are also near the storms, but telling them to make sure their cell phones get emergency alerts is more than I can expect them to do. (Twenty-somethings.) In conversation from Shoyu permalink -

Was able to #videochat with #sonOne, #GD1, #GD2 for about an hour and a half today on #Wire. He's been working 16 hours a day since June, but he got a week of vacation. It possibly means that he'll be unavailable again in a week, but I'll try to do #videochats with the kids.
Was informed that #GD1 lost her phone. #GS1 likewise lost his phone, but found it and sent it to sonOne because it wasn't accepting a charge. Daughter-in-law will make the six hour round trip to deliver the now-working phone to her son.
(Asked because both of them suddenly stopped responding to SMS.)In conversation from web permalink -

Received a 'thank you' text from #GS2 for his (delayed) birthday card + $25 visa gift card.
Not sure whether my daughter-in-law has talked with her oldest ( #GS1 ) yet to inform him that _his_ birthday card + gift card came to her.
He's the dutiful one, so I was concerned that sending a gift card directly to him would lead to "we need your $25 to help with the bills".
I know #GS2 is going to spend his birthday money on himself (as he should) and no amount of pressure would change that.In conversation from web permalink
