  What are undressed Pringles? Because Pringles are amazeballs. But I won't ever say no to a chip.

  @MamaNicoleof3 Ruffles doesn't make "undressed"...I think she meant All Dressed. I don't know if Pringles has that flavour or not, though.

  OMG. This is my favourite. I'm now calling all-dressed chips un-dressed. That's awesome.

  I don't know how to describe it. It's a mixture of flavours: Sour Cream and Onion. Salt and Vinegar. Ketchup....all thrown into one chip. Sorry for not clarifying earlier.

  Today my mom was appalled when I mentioned I was looking at a secondhand mini crib. She said it was disgusting blah blah blah and that I never had second hand stuff and how dare I buy something secondhand for her grandbaby. Finally I said, "well. I'm the mom and I get to decide and that's that."
  
  I feel like I've been waiting my whole life to be able to drop that line which was the bane of my existence as a child under her roof. My brother had to leave the room because he started laughing. Felt good.
  
  BUT the lady selling the crib already had a buyer. *sad face*

  I worked all day cleaning the house from top to bottom and made H food for the week too then realized I had nothing for myself to eat that was healthy that didn't require me to cook some more.  So I cried.  It was silent crying but, still, I cried over food.   Once I stopped crying, instead of making something healthy for myself (or asking H to make it), I ate a cheese sandwich, a bag (the entire bag) of popcorn (without m&ms sadly...didn't have them), ice cream and now I'm eating Andes candies.  I can't stop but for some reason don't care.

  @VikingGirl12 yes, UK Smarties are pretty much the same as Canadian Smarties (they have them everywhere in Europe as well). Not sure why the US is lacking in Smartie technology
  
  @theatremandy I find Galaxy Bars at British Import stores all the time but the quality is preeeetty dodgy. I swear they're usually like 10 years old when they get here, haha. Unfortunate!
  
  @mkemommy food when you're pregnant is no joke. I probably cry more about food than anything else.

  This made me smile, I felt your pain! If it's any consolation I cried because I couldn't put my socks on the other day. Every time I tried to lift my knee it crushed my belly! Dum Dum has now figured out she has to sit down and ankle swing to do this. Definitely more silly crying over that than having no food to eat which is a legit reason in my mind!

  Canadian Smarties = American Sixlets
  
  They are gross IMO, and not at all like the milk chocolatey goodness of M&MS.

  Sixlets are nasty. There's a reason why the treasure box in my classroom is full of them.
  Smarties in England are WAY better. Real chocolate.
