I love Mrs. Vexed. I really do. MV,”Will you pick up my prescriptions at Wegmans?” Me,”Sure” [standing in line for 15 minutes, cause this Wegmans s-uucks] Me,”Prescriptions for Mrs. Vexed.” Wegmans Pharmacy person,”I don’t have anything for her. Let me look again. She last picked up Dec. 5th.”

Get all the Christmas stuff up - 9.5 hours over 2 days. Put all the Christmas stuff away - 6 hours in one day. Back to normal.

So Venezuela, now that we are running you, here are a couple things to expect - - measles will be making a comeback. - your airports will have exercise stations with pull up bars. - a ballroom will be added to your presidential residence, paid for by the oil companies. - lots of fake gold accents

So, we are “running” another country? When we can barely run our own.

I don’t think 19 is impressed with London so far.

2026 is going to be a good year! The Muppets return!! www.instagram.com/reel/DS-zpKL...

Discovered The Teskey Brothers this evening. WOW! These guys are absolutely amazing!!!

New Years Eve 10:07pm. Cheetos. Party on.

Sure everyone* questioned why I got Cheetos! Because someone walked by me, in Wegmans, with a bag in their cart! Then everyone partook of the storm Cheetos, in the car, on the way home. * Mrs. Vexed and 19. The one dog would have not questioned, because he’s a dog & he ate them, unquestioning.

In other news, expecting Trump will distance himself, Greenland has changed its name.

I have a good nephew (sister, cause he does not have a job yet, being 14). This was my family exchange present. I can’t wait to play it later.

The Festivus pole is up and ready for the “Airing of Grievances”. Happy Festivus for the rest of us!!

Nothing like some Saturday night before Christmas fireworks? Letting the dogs out and this happened. Mrs. Vexed called me to make sure I was ok. She thought it was gunshots.🙄

Oh yay! We got a new induction pump for the furnace, just in time for Christmas!! $900 we did not want to spend. 🫠🤬🖕 [Starts boxing up old t-shirts, a couple of random CD’s and some jellies from summer] Merry fecking Christmas!!!

I listened to Christmas music and had a dog on my lap this evening. I just perused some social media and, as I thought, had a better evening for it. Comments seen - “This is the worst SNL skit ever!” “Prayers for the fact checkers tonight!” “Mr. Yelly on the telly.”

When did mushrooms get so expensive? I just spent $8.48 on fungi.

To the lady, sitting in the Wegmans Fairmount parking lot, eating a cookie the size of a toddler’s head, I see you. And I feel you. ‘Tis the season.

Got sucked into the rabbit hole of the iPod Classic subreddit. Now looking at eBay for iPods to practice mods on.

Submitted a warranty claim on a portable charger from Anker. Everything in correspondence has clearly been AI generated. Claim has been approved and in process. I want to keep sending emails and mess with it.

People who still get receipts after pumping gas. Are you all on an expense account? Cause?

Everytime Harrison Butker doinks a kick, I think @akachela.bsky.social draws strength from the force.

How is it possible in a metro area of 662K people that a grocery store does not have red currant jelly? Does no one appreciate red currants anymore?

What Tom Cotton was expecting the two remaining survivors to be doing. After their boat was blown up.

All right, @clpatters.bsky.social as the resident dietician and nutrition expert, do you have an opinion. Your body is supposed to crave what it’s missing. Why on earth am I craving pretzels?

This is a challenging time of year for guys, who shave their heads, like me. When you shave, you don’t hold a knit cap on your head too well. Kind of pops up, looks terrible & doesn’t cover your ears.

I love reading Reddit. Hey, I don’t deserve this but how about you give it to me anyway? www.reddit.com/r/Hilton/s/H...

Just ordered a Coke product. Server said “Is Pepsi ok?” Me, “No, it’s not.” She did not expect that. Got an ice tea instead. Another customer nearby, “I am with you, Pepsi is trash.”

I don’t use Spotify. So, there is my 2025 wrap. I did however listen to some new and old vinyl. TajMo - Taj Mahal & Keb Mo Foo Fighters - Greatest Hits The Who - Who Are You Fleetwood Mac - Rumours The Police - Ghost In The Machine The Clash - Combat Rock

Truthfully, how many socks is too many socks to own?

Anyone have a VESA monitor stand for their desk recommendation? Have a monitor that I want up and rotatable to portrait.

The joys of HL7, Health Information Exchanges (you signed a form a while ago allowing that info to be shared) and EMR integrations. Every so often, these things work as intended. Meanwhile, I gave up on the buffoons at my Wegmans pharmacy & switch to Costco. So much better experience!!

Had to drive for an 8am appointment. Not a plow spotted there & only 1 on the way back. And it was a town plow on a state route, so its blade was not down, not doing a damn thing. It’s not like we did not know this was coming.

For some reason, which I cannot explain, I have usually kept the boxes all my Apple products came in. Except today, I got rid of a bunch of them. Included were iPhone 5 box, 3 iPad boxes, some Apple TV (1st G) boxes, Apple Watch boxes & a MacBook Air. Kept the iPod boxes, cause still have them.

Family all left by noon. Christmas tree purchased by 1:30 and put up by 2:30. No lights or ornaments yet. That’s tomorrow.

I will never not be in amazement of Jelly Belly’s buttered popcorn flavor.

One of Rochester’s most famous mug shot subjects has some serious competition!

19 (home from college) complained the other night that I have not been feeding her homemade meals. Meanwhile, she spent the weekend in Binghamton for Santa Con. She went out with her friends tonight & she plans on being out tomorrow night with friends again. She has been around for 2/6 dinners.

So it begins. Mrs. Vexed - need relish tray stuff. [each year it goes virtually untouched] Me - we have cornichons, olives, dilly beans and pickled okra. [now getting attitude for pointing out what we have in stock]

So not in the mood for Thanksgiving right now.

Local newscast about Syracuse Festival of Trees… “Celebrating its 40th year…” “Goes all the way back to 1985…” Holy Feck…thanks for making me feel old now!!!

Today years old learning that Peter Boyle’s best man was John Lennon. Peter Boyle from Young Frankenstein and Everybody Love’s Raymond. His wife was friends with Yoko Ono.

The debate has begun. Is Mac and cheese a Thanksgiving side dish?

Guys, I navigated the diverging diamond today, for the first time in 10 yrs. God, we moved from ROC 10 yrs ago.

Do you think they do it doggie style?

We should treat shoe manufacturers like auto manufacturers. They should be required to have shoelaces, that match the originals that came with the shoe, available for up to 10 years after the shoe was discontinued.

Clay Higgins votes the single no. From Louisiana. Figures. His wedding song was probably “Dueling Banjoes”.

Forget the Epstein files. We need to launch an investigation into what adhesive Marshall’s uses on their price labels. My god, that stuff will survive the apocalypse with cockroaches, Spam and Paul Rudd.

This is not a drill people. IKEA is opening. www.syracuse.com/news/2025/11... Mrs. Vexed & my daughter…

Musk…

Welp, Mrs. Vexed’s 5 times a day announcement that “she is cold” will now double, now that snow has fallen.
