I had that problem when I lived in England. I ended having a friend bring me some in his suitcase.
I once carried 4lbs of Oreos on my lap to England for a friend. You can get them there, but not in the variety or quantity we have here.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Heh. Oreos are also way overpriced. Jars brought me cheetos from the homeland, which were also very much appreciated.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
OMG YES.
Send me your address, and how much you want, and I will try to get it in the mail before the end of the week.

Happy Birthday Ginger!
We had lunch at a new restaurant today in your honor: Restaurant is named Ginger.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Last night was the funnest Halloween I've had in years; for once I went out instead of staying home and handing out candy. I say, if you have a mustache, you're too old for trick-or-treat. Ditto if your costume requires a bra.
You all know about the Living Dead Dolls, right? A friend of mine organized a gallery showing of the dolls by various artists who had created their own take on the theme, and the opening night was, of course, last night in NYC. I got a friend from work to go with me (he was blown away, he'd never seen any such thing before!) and we got properly tipsy beforehand and had a blast. The show was packed with people and the art rocked! I wondered at the time if there might be NYC Buffistas in the room and I just didn't know it...

And what's with all the carrots?
Bitches, do I like these?
Oh YEAH! Amazing price, too.
I currently have a bucket-o-playdough minis on my desk. The office didn't have many trick-or-treaters yesterday. I even made a playdough snake to entice them....although perhaps it scared them away. mwhahahaha.

Punishingly Intricate
Sparky's link led me to these
which...well...can I justify it? I could probably wear them if it snows here this winter, right?

The boots, which will keep your feet dry this winter, are much cheaper than getting sick with 'flu and pnuemonia and all the other things you might catch if your immune system is compromised by cold, wet feet.
How's that work for ya?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
1) everyone buy boots.
2) all kidlet pictures killed me
3) hot mom pictures are better than smelling salts.
4) there is too much candy here, but not in the usual Buffista sense of the word.
