Been on Ancestry, as 19 had a project that involved some family tree stuff, and scrolling down landing page and…. ….half 7th cousin or not….nope, just nope.

Purposefully skipped the coverage of the SOTU and caught up on The Pitt and some other TV shows. I just know that bloviate is my new favorite word.

And Mrs. Vexed cannot understand why I hate folding her socks. They are all short. And black. And virtually the same. Thankfully the Bebe ones are unique.

So, as a dual citizen of both the US and Canada, I take back my “YES” about the US winning the gold. What an embarrassment they are.

YES!!!

Even with my love/hate relationship with Wegmans, I will always respect them for having warm water for handwashing in the restrooms.

GOLD!

OMG!

The replies have me 💀💀

It was on the back of a European Swallow, unladen by a coconut, of course.

Ahhh, the first big thaw of the year. Still below freezing nights. My dogs hate it. The top layer of snow has just enough crust to, maybe, support their weight. And maybe not. They hate this. They just want to poop with out falling through.

You know it’s been really cold out when you take the dogs out in long sleeves and a vest and it feels balmy.

Nick Baumgartner would most definitely be a fire fighter in a real life job situation.

Been battling a cold. Finally, rearmed the arsenal with some old fashioned Vicks ointment and a Vapoinhaler™️ stick. I did such a strong inhale, I think the menthol, camphor, etc. just came out my tear duct. Now my eye is burning. So, how is your night going? Line forms to the right ladies.

Everyone is up in arms over Bad Bunny. Meanwhile a chef on instagram made chicken wings, for her Super Bowl party, and let someone pick a wing up with two pieces of celery, like chopsticks. Can we talk about that crime?! Ohh, and ranch dressing.

Happy birthday to @akachela.bsky.social This is a holdover from the Twitter days. And for the life of me, I don’t remember anything about this.

Is there some low key chocolate chip shortage crisis going on? Went to Wegmans for the past week & their shelves are basically empty of Nestle and Hershey. Sorry, Wegmans chocolate chips are arse and will not buy them. And Ghirardelli are too damn expensive.

Tell me five classes you took in college: -Organic Chemistry -Genetics -Microeconomics -Theory and Technique of Coaching Soccer -Biomedical Ethics

Legends.

Catherine O’Hara. Man. Way too young. Interesting fact about her - she had situs transversus. Her heart and lungs were opposite side of where they are in the rest of us. Learned that from a transplant surgeon, who worked at Toronto General.

I really do like sending stink bugs to their frigid deaths on days like today. And yes, I would hope there is a low pollen count today.

Sorry, it’s not that impressive when you barbecue/smoke in the snow*, Southern person. We do it here in the North all the time. *.2 inches of snow.

I like Louie on The Pitt.

Also, Mrs. Vexed would be an awful investigator/cop. Her powers of observation are AWFUL. [Talking on the phone, about the aforementioned party theme/menu, my Apple Watch Siri starts talking] “Since when do you have an Apple Watch?” “For about 5 years now.” It’s on my nightstand every night.

Why does every gathering have to have theme? Mrs. Vexed is hosting a game night for a bunch of women. It now has a theme. I thought the game night would be enough.

Cleaned the fridge. Only one science experiment. A Greek yogurt that was opened and had a beard that would have made Grizzly Adams jealous.

Feck the NE Patriots! Feck Robert Kraft! Feck ICE!! Feck Bovino!! Feck Noem!!

My first lacrosse officials meeting of the year got postponed from tomorrow morning to next Sunday morning. Meanwhile, the forecast does not show any real snow until after 1pm.

Given it’s a state of emergency for a winter storm (apparently dubbed Fern, by the Weather Channel), I am announcing that I will not be handing out ⭐️. Instead, I will be handing ❄️ until such time that the state of emergency has passed. Fern = lame name Thor or Odin ≠ not lame

Mailed a package to 19. Normally takes 3 days. Once it reaches Greensboro, it usually gets to her local post office the next day. I am no logistics expert, but driving it an extra 4 1/2 hours to Charleston, SC? When it was a lot closer AND in the same state as Greensboro?

The one thing about shaving your head, at this time of year, is planning for the cold. Knit hats slip very easily on fresh shaven head. Gotta plan on when to shave over the next few day with the extreme cold coming in. Bald guy issues.

I did not know Ruby Shooz were still a thing.

Scott is right on this one. And I will challenge you to a duel, choose your weapon - a stale baguette from Wegmans or throwing 3 day old crullers from Dunkin. And we meet at the former Gold Circle in Irondequoit. If you can show up there, then we know you are serious.

In case we weren’t sure it was Wade. And the replies.💀

Well, now all I have to look forward to, is the new season of “The Pitt”.

22 has a couple friends over. They come down to the basement, where Mrs. Vexed & I have our offices and it’s our entertainment room. Mrs. Vexed and I are in her office. One of 22’s friends, “Wow, nice speakers. And you have one of those vinyl players!” Vinyl player?!? Omg, this generation.

Just did a word search on a contract, that someone said there was a late fee penalty clause, and, lo and behold, it’s not there. Nor is it in the future proposed contract. Even though I recommended it be placed in there.

I love the comments on NY Times recipes. They can be very performative. Especially the ones where the person substitutes, literally, almost every ingredient. And then calls the recipe excellent. This person understood the assignment.

Word of the day - tittynope. And all of you have seen some tittynopes today.

Met with our financial adviser. Let’s just say that we are diversifying and investing in medical leeches, publishing houses for books of incantations and an elixir that cures intemperance, worms, gout and autism.

If I were president, I would mandate two way zippers on all outerwear, jackets, vests, etc. I hate when they ride up when you sit down in the car.

Notice ICE has not had any major presence in Texas. First, cause…Texas and it’s a red state. Second, they would be outgunned by the citizenry.

Imagine if we lived in South Korea. www.bbc.com/news/article...

He’s going to nominate the Capital One guy to be the chair of the Fed, isn’t he?

As an official (granted a different sport - lacrosse) how they did not get that end of the half play right, is absolutely wrong. Someone had to have had their eye on the clock and/or NY should have jumped in and said, “Guys, the clock was 0:00 when they snapped the ball.”

Since we spent a good chunk of change on our furnace last month, 22 and I tackled replacing the drain pump on our washer. $50 part and $11 expedited shipping. And they have a YouTube video on how to replace. No need to bring in a $300 service call. [does Home Improvement grunt]
