Who knew that a license plate frame on your car in Minnesota means a $116 fine? I do now. What a bullshit law. My license tab stickers are obstructed by the snow/slush/road salt, not the frame around the license plate.

How can that even be a thing??

Did you get farva from super troopers? What a dick. Every car comes with a license plate frame in Oregon like off the lot!

@KendraColeslaw - Fond du Lac, but I think it's because "bubbler" originated in Kohler which is about 20mins away. My sister, who was always more popular, was very quick to adopt Wisconsin slang and it grates my nerves to hear her say "bubbler" and "soda". Argh!

Do you guys say soda or pop? I say pop and from what I've noticed most people from Montana say pop.

Soda and I'm in WA, but I hear both here.

What is it about pregnancy that makes cereal so good?? I seriously cannot get enough Cinnamon Toast Crunch!

Former Badger here, and I still say bubbler and soda. And for those of you wondering what that big stuffed thing is in your living room....it's a davenport according to my grandparents. People mistakenly call it a sofa here down south.

Soda in CT

We have that in Texas... But I've never seen them enforce it.

The cop said that they are required to enforce it in St. Paul. It sucks because I went to St Paul to get a new social security card only to find out I was supposed to go to the Minneapolis office. I was parked in St Paul for all of about 5 minutes.

Stace0616 · January 2014

@LoriMc12 - Doesn't that suck?! I'm waiting for my husband to make it up there to change his name on his social security card. Parking at that office is a bitch and costs like $15 if you are there more than 20 mins, so I highly advise parking somewhere else connected by Skyway to that building!

DH just caught me eating cookie butter with a spoon straight from the jar. I told him you can't food judge a pregnant woman.

I've been a total cereal monster too. Trying to stick to "healthier" varieties but a few nights ago I had a dream about Cookie Crisp.

katieharpiceland · January 2014

I just have a serious craving for fried rice.

I've said "soda" before, but when I first moved to Wisconsin and my DH called the drinking fountain a "bubbler", I looked at him like he'd suddenly sprouted a second head that was speaking in tongues. From what I've been able to figure out, WI is the ONLY state that calls them that. *boggle* :-??

In MA we say soda, but we call a water fountain a bubbler... Or bubblah.

Please tell me what cookie butter is. It sounds delish??

OMG, you haven't had cookie butter?! It's like spreadable cookies and tastes AMAZING.

Themaritimemama · January 2014

I've never heard someone call it soda until I started talking to people in the states... As far as I've ever heard, us Canadians all say "pop"

Chicken tikka masala for dinner. I'm gonna need it after dealing with DD...

That sounds sooo good. I love Indian food almost as much as Thai.

katieharpiceland · January 2014

Now I want Indian food too! Or Thai noodle soup.j

Stace0616 · January 2014

Pho sounds amaaaazing right now! And not just because it's freezing outside lol

Poor DH worked 12 hours yesterday slept 4 before I woke him for our L&D trip then worked another 12 today. He outed out baby name to his mom on accident TWICE! He had no idea either. I just sat there mouth hanging open. He feels really bad. I can't be too mad the boy is so tired and works so hard.

snmetz7 · January 2014

Cookie butter! who knew! but it sounds amazing yum.

We call everything coke.

fireflygirl12 · January 2014

I am coordinating a conference in Vegas the first week of March and I was really hoping to attend. I talked to my OB today and due to the fact that I went into pre-term labor at 32 weeks last pregnancy from travelling and because we won't know if my placenta previa has resolved, she recommends not going. Boo

There's something I love about the question mark exclamation point combo.

@Stace0616 If he is changing his name on his SS card then he has to go to the Minneapolis building on Chicago Ave. That was my mistake too. Had I known that, I wouldn't have ended up with the stupid citation for my license plate frame during the 5 minutes I was in the St. Paul SS building.

I think you just helped me decide where to go out for dinner tonight. Indian!

Also, it's totally soda. You pop people make me giggle! At least you all say vacuum and not "sweeper," right? I had a college roommate who could trigger a giggle fit from me just by talking about cleaning.

Haha soda sounds so foreign... Yep it's a vacuum. Sweeper doesn't even make sense... Maybe sucker haha. I do know some Canadians who pronounce "Chicago" as "chi-car-go"... Drives me crazy.

Mamamonzo · January 2014

I just had a brilliant idea for a maternity towel. All our bath towels are becoming to small to cover the belly and give a sufficient overlap. I feel like I flash the world. I was telling DH about it, he burst my bubble. He said "they already make those ding dong. They're called beach towels..." So true and yet so heartbreaking. :-S

Lindsay808 · January 2014

Saw an ad for "Devil's Due." Just...no.

kseccomb17 · January 2014

I am so annoyed with DH. The last two weeks he lets his alarm clock ring, hits snooze, and it rings again in 5 minutes. This goes on from 5 am until 7 am. I haven't been falling asleep until about 3 am every day. I'm going to start sleeping on the guest bed, and if he's late - it's his own damn fault. Grrrrrrrr

This labor buddies thing is stressing me out. I feel like I'm at a middle school dance.

Oh my God. I'm fucking MORTIFIED.

DH finally had a Friday off and we scheduled a dinner out with friends I've been looking forward to all week. We were eating dessert when I started choking on a piece of a crumbly pie. I tried to wash it down with water but kept coughing harder and harder...and then I literally projectile vomited all over the table, my plate...I tried to leave the table as quickly as possible and cover my mouth but it just kept coming and pouring down my arms and my shirt, all over the restaurant floor...oh my god.

I ran outside and threw up there before my husband ran out to make sure I was okay. I made him go back inside and help the wait staff clean my disgusting mess because I was horrified someone else would have to clean that...and my friends had their dinner ruined by my fucking puke all over it.

I'm locked in my bathroom balling my eyes out because I've never been so embarrassed in my whole fucking life. An entire restaurant full of people just watched me embarass myself and my night I'd been looking forward to was ruined. I just can't today. I want to crawl into a hole.

Oh my god. This whole thing just made me so sad! I'm so so so sorry. I can't imaging how you must feel. I hope your friends were nice enough to understand. Maybe throw a dinner party for them to make up for tonight?

What are you all doing for fatigue? I am beyond tired, I am barely able to function and keep up with my other children. I have a paper due tonight and I haven't even been able to finish it. I drank some Dr Pepper but it just made me sick. I am so stressed and tired. I just want to sit in the tub and cry.

Here in Utah, we use soda, pop, and soda pop interchangeably. I've heard "pop machines" more than "soda machines" though. Coke is just used when we want a coca cola! I like the bubbles though, that's fun!!
