> 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).

When #GS2 turned 11, I asked her this question. https://www.google.com/search?q=do+dinosaurs+speak+spanish%3F&oq=do+dinosaurs+speak+spanish%3F ... she did not reply, but I think she knows the answer.

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.)

I ordered some baby gates. #GS3 is opening doors and getting in places that it is best if he doesn't.
Moving with a 3 year old and a 1 year old sounds like an interesting experience. The prior house had been child proofed before he was born. With this one, they are still installing the special latches on cabinet doors, special electrical outlets, special door handle covers that require hand strength*, and so on.
* When his cousin #GS2 (now 24) was 10, he still did not have a strong enough grip to open doors with those handle covers. I remember having to open doors for him.

#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)
-
Picked something for #A1 ... I will probably send the same thing to #GD2 and #GS2 (despite him being 5.5 years younger than the recommended age ... if the parents handle it for him, it will be okay). That means that the search begins for items the siblings will enjoy as much as these three will enjoy the "planetarium projector:{https://www.target.com/p/smithsonian-planetarium-projector/-/A-52213640}.
-
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.
-
I need to check with #GS2 to see whether he’s continuing to build things with #Raspberry_Pi computers and #Arduino microcontrollers. When he was in #SoCal a few years ago, he was building something or other … until he angered the family members he was staying with. They put him on a plane with just the things he could fit in his backpack.
(He was already an adult, working part-time at a local fast food chain.)
-
#GD2’s book shipment arrived today. #sonOne says he’s going to continue their daddy-daughter book club and reward her for each book she completes and is able to discuss in their club.
When her brother #GS2 was this age (9) or a little older, I had suggested something similar, but it never happened. I’m glad to see this happening with this amazing little girl.
-
#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.
-
#GS2 was offered a free piano when he was in middle school. He had heard the school band play a certain song, so he sounded it out on a neighbor's piano. She wanted to give it to him, so he could take lessons and practice. #sonOne's wife said the child wasn't going to be willing to practice, so she refused the gift.
-
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.
-
#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.
-
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.)
-
Got greetings from #GS2, who doesn’t really communicate much.
-
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.
-
Found two manga books in English for #GD1's upcoming 13th birthday. 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.)
