#sonOne has not said whether #GS1, #GD1, #GD2 know I'm coming. I'm not expecting to see #GS2, as he lives some distance (2-3 hours drive time in each direction), on top of him being 25.
I expressed that it would be great if #Daddy_A could visit during this time. It has been something like 20 years since all three of them were present at the same place and time. -

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. -

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. -

( #GS2 still lives about three hours drive time away, so he has not been exposed to his family’s viruses. ) -

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). -

#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. -

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 nu.federati.net permalink -

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.

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 nu.federati.net permalink -

She started reading them a few months ago. I honestly have no idea whether the ones I found will be enjoyable, but I'll know in about a week.
I should ask her to have her mom call me. I can send #GS2's gift card directly to him, because I know he'll spend it on himself without question. I want to send #GS1's card to her and have her get it to him ... he's the "responsible" one that will be easily guilted into putting it toward the bills. (Yes, the bills need to be paid, and he's working in fast food, so probably not getting many hours to begin with; but you have to occasionally do things for yourself or you'll wind up bitter. "I never got anything for myself to enjoy" is a terrible place to be.)In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink
