Yeah. Who knew?

I'll give up my Tag-A-Longs when they pry them from my cold, dead, fingers.
I gave up cookies for Lent, and the lack of cookies is a definite contributor to misery!
Good on ya! I gave my wedding dress to Goodwill 15 years ago. (I weigh 30 pounds less now, too!)
That was mean, X! I have three boxes of those in the van right now.
Yeah. Who knew?
Next year will probably be too soon for me to see another one of those again..........
I only got to eat one box before Ash Wednesday, and I doubt the others will be in the van for long.
Sally's order form turned up, so in theory, I could pass out about 5 more boxes, but I'm out of initiative.
Hide them in the back of the freezer.
I whined about how cold and windy it was the day we had our cookie booth at Food Lion........well apparently the "feel sorry for them" idea worked. The Troop that had their booth in the same spot yesterday, when it was 65 and sunny, sold less than 50 boxes, we sold over 100 :)
I don't blame you for the lack of iniative...I've been over it. jax wan't interested in the over 100 patch, she was only interested in the prize for 60 boxes, so when she hit that I quit worrying about it.
Two on the kitchen counter, and two more at my office, which unfortunately harbors many more boxes of baked bads.
exactly - the girls see very little of the $ for their hard work selling....I never knew that till my girls were involved in scouting.
I love to see those kids standing in front of the market giving their sales pitch. Learning to sell is a great skill to learn at a young age. Besides, they are cute as hell, I can't help but buy several boxes. Most of the time I just give them the money amd let them keep the cookies.
We have three girls in Scouts, so the cookie business gets old. Next year I may just write a check to each troop - but then I think I say that every year! The little girls love putting on their uniforms and soliciting their friends.
you are so nice to buy girl $cout cookies! ;)
And now some people(idiots) are trying to convince us that selling or buying Girl Scout cookies is a bad thing.
BTW, Mint are my favorite too.
Including Moderation!
I'll tell you something else too.
That little taste of capitalism helped inspire my daughter to get a business degree and now she's got a good job in retail management.
I don't envy you, m' dear, not in the least.
My only and the Troop leader's oldest move up next yesr, she and I are sticking with the Brownies.......at least we won't have to worry about being required to do anything for the other Troop(s) that way :)
Good for her!!!!
I'm a trained Brownie leader; I led Daisies and first year of Brownies with Elen. If I'm not pregnant again by fall, I'll probably volunteer to help with Sally's troop. Elen will be a Junior in the fall, and I don't have the intestinal fortitude to be a Junior leader.
I've decided Anoreth and I will offer to teach Kindergarten Sunday School in the fall. That way we can teach Pat, and he won't threaten some innocent teacher with excommunication because she doesn't speak Greek!
