It was a chilly winter night in Greenville, South Carolina and Emerson and Maya were on Girl Scout duty selling cookies outside a store.
At one point, a man approached the stand and bought seven boxes of cookies worth $40, and told them to keep the change, according to cookie manager Kayla Dillard.
Then, he went back to the table and said: “Pack up all of your cookies. I’m taking them all so y’all can get out of this cold,” Dillard said in a Facebook post. He spent $540 on cookies, she said.

Did you ever stop to think that just maybe he likes cookies?
And don't come back with a remark implying that he's probably a pot head......LOL!
How much money does that hard-working troupe make from the sales?
Answer my own question:
**The Girl Scouts keep 73 percent of the profits from each box of cookies sold; the rest goes to one of the two bakeries that make the cookies. That means that for every $4 box of cookies sold, the Girl Scouts keep $2.92. While the national organization does earn royalties from the bakeries, they receive no profits from cookies sold, states Daily Finance.**

HAHAHA!
Priceless.
“In a lot of northern places, kids skating or playing hockey still do.”
In Minnesota last month they had the “Hockey Classic” tournament. Maybe 8 teams that play a couple of days. The “classic” part is - they are playing outside on one of the practice rinks.
The morning game started with a straight temperature of -28 degrees. They still played it. (No wind, so there’s that). Although one of the stars of last year’s state champions got frostbite and missed several games.
“Idiots” like me put my girls through the lesbian infested, LGBT mafia, abortion promoting, girl scouts until we realized what was really going on. Girls were not being “empowered”. They were NOT being taught skills to survive in this world.
They ARE being taught to abandon traditional values and motherhood. That they can sleep with whoever, whenever and no consequences because there is always condoms, morning after pills and abortions. They were being taught that having sex as a teen is ok, that sex with a boy as a teen was ok and if you got pregnant, that abortions are ok. That sex itself was “empowering”.
Thank god I pulled my girls out when I did. Too bad I let them stay in as long as I did. So if you want to call me an idiot - fine. The real question is: Am I an idiot because I let my girls go to the girl scouts, or because I took them out?
Your prior statement wasn’t worthy of a comment but I did. As for this rant, not even worth the time.........Sheesh!
Well I hope your experience with the girl scouts is far better than mine. I wont give them the time of day.
uh-oh
