Vexed Patriarch 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇸🇪
@vexed-patriarch.bsky.social
Perturbed. Annoyed. Vexed. Spider assassin. Irish whisky. Insulted a hooker in Copenhagen once. Lurking in Signal chats. Handing out stars since way back.
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.
a group of people are laying on the ground and one of them is saying `` i 'm getting better! ''

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?

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.”

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!!
A doc once tried to prescribe an antibiotic I'm allergic to. I didn't even know Wegmans kept that on file. They caught it, called the doc *for me* and got a new med. I had no idea until they called me and said "we've taken care of the new script, it's ready for pickup!"
I usually like to use independent pharmacies, but after two in a row got shut down and prosecuted for Medicare fraud and a third just couldn't source my drugs with any regularity, we tried Wegmans and they really are the best of both worlds

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.

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 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?
