Speaking of degrees, #sonOne completed his 2nd Bachelor's Degree recently. I'm not sure whether he plans to immediately start work on a Master's Degree.
-
@bthall The funny thing is #sonOne and #sonTwo each contact me to ask how the other is doing, but they contact each other directly to talk about me or #Daddy_A.
-
#sonOne and #sonTwo don't talk much (10 years age difference), but when I shared some financial info with the younger one, the older called the next day, "Do you need me to send money?"
-
Shipped some stuff for #Daddy_A's kids and #sonTwo's kid. I have to wait for payday before I buy & ship to #sonOne's kids.
The reason I shipped these now is that I included clothing and three of the four recipients are two and under. If I wait, they might outgrow their gifts.
-
Really wishing it wasn't already 22:00 where #sonOne, #sonTwo, #Daddy_A are. I'd like to videochat with them so they can see the new haircut and shave and tell me how they think I look.
-
For whatever reason, the tracker doesn’t seem to record #sleep data very often when I’m on a Pacific time zone schedule. I’m going to try to migrate myself to something more Central time zone appropriate, which will help with communicating with my kids and grandkids (who are in #NE and #MO).
PS: #GS2, who had been in #SoCal for five years, moved back home to #sonOne’s house.
-
In today's phone calls with #sonTwo, we're trying to arrange a videochat between him and his wife & child, me, and #Daddy_A and his wife & children. #sonOne's work schedule changed recently, so we'll skip involving him this time.
-
So #sonOne was really short in early high school. He was also in a lot of fights, if you can imagine someone the size of a 4th or 5th grader fighting against 10th graders. He had a mouth on him, so I don't doubt that he brought some of it on himself.
Once he got into the district's continuation school program, he was able to move forward, eventually returning to the high school for his last semester.
-
Both #sonTwo and #Daddy_A used to work at #Target. #sonOne and his wife worked at #Walmart.
-
#sonOne informs me that a clerk offered him a senior discount. He's 41, so this put him in "do I look that old?" mode.
-
Because we were both doing maintenance around the house, #sonTwo and I split our call into three. I messsed up and put the part in backwards, so I'll have to redo my task. Family day at Home Depot, I guess.
#sonOne was at work, so we had no phone call this week.
#Daddy_A and I chatted on #Wire at the same time as Mark and I were conversing via SMS.
Finally, co-worker S called and we were on the phone about two hours and forty minutes (talking about $EMPLOYER and life after $EMPLOYER).
Full day. I'm going to go to bed now. #TZAF
-
I missed a call from #sonTwo today, and I’m also due to call #sonOne.
And both S and Mark.
-
I’m going to try to call #sonOne in a couple of hours. Timezones are not our friends. When I was in ‘AST’, I could call him at 08:00 US-Central, but now that I’m in US-Pacific, I’m not ready for a phone call at 06:00, so I have to attempt it later in the day.
-
I was going to send this to #Daddy_A (age 29), but he's a seasoned pro at ignoring my provocations. #sonTwo (age 31) would point out that he's the one that got me started drinking #coffee. #sonOne (age 41) would point out that he drinks something that looks like coffee-flavored motor oil. So I'll just put this here instead.
"Boomers tend to drink coffee instead of energy drinks because at least coffee tastes good."
-
(Not so) Fun fact: #sonOne used to live near a puppy mill. Strangely, elderly female dogs kept showing up at their door, as if the mill was ejecting spent breeders. But we all know they wouldn’t do that, right?
-
It has been quite a while since I last did one of these.
#Introductions is superfluous when I've been in the #fediverse since 2009. This should be tagged #untroductions instead.
I work for $EMPLOYER, a government agency which remains unamed due to their fear of appearing to endorse the things I say.
I do not speak for them, and they do not speak for me. Nothing I say or write is endorsed by or an official statement of the agency.
I manage https://nu.federati.net/ and other Federati Networks sites. !fnetworks
I generally work too much (3000 - 3500 hours per year the last few years). I try to remain in touch with my kids and grandkids, having realized that I missed a lot by being at work all the time. ( I spent more time with #sonTwo than with #sonOne or #Daddy_A, partly because he came and hung out at my workplace at the time. ) I am actively attempting to reduce that to something more reasonable, so that the younger grandkids (currently 11 and younger) will know me as the granddad that is present and involved.
Politically, I'm a centrist. By this, I mean that I reject the overall viewpoints and the dangerous and harmful plans of both the left and the right. I also disagree with many others who call themselves centrists.
I reject the US Democrat and Republican twin parties, generally choosing to vote for candidates who are not part of either organization. I do not believe that either the federal government or any corporation is the savior of the people. (Nor do I believe in any form of anarchism.)

@moonman #sonOne prefers reading sensors and turning motors with !Arduino to most of the common !RasPi projects, but he was thrilled when I sent a #BBB, two #BBGs (one wireless), and a micro sized !BBB.
Now that my grandson #GS2 is back home, I am hoping that the two of them work together on some projects.
-
#sonOne's #PR souvenir mugs arrived yesterday. #Daddy_A's mugs arrived today. No word from #sonTwo yet, but AFAIK, the mugs I sent to #SoCal family members have not arrived yet.
-
Shipments sent. Now, #sonOne and his wife will soon have a pair of large #PR mugs. I decided to get #sonTwo and his wife a pair of large PR mugs. Because #Daddy_A is different from the other two, I decided to get him and his wife a pair of large PR mugs.
(Yes, the store had one design [in two available colors: gray/purple, gray/lightblue], so everyone got the same pair.)
-
Planning to ship stuff for #sonOne and #sonTwo tomorrow. #Daddy_A's shipment will be Thursday. https://nu.federati.net/attachment/206838
