:rofl: flatiron.... RAWR.
i quietly took a moment to expand your lovely dream sequence in which i went on to flip the table, stuff the leader in a trash can, boot around all the little brownies, and run off all baboon- like sceaming like a mental patient. never WOULD... but it's fun to dream... |
I can so identify with this post. I had an ugly confrontation with a bag of Robin Egg's the other day.

And just so you all know, too..... It really is for a good cause, they have been doing this thing called operation cookie drop the last 2 "cookie seasons." Where they send cookies over seas to the solders. Annnnnnd, part of the money that they earn from selling cookies send them to summer camps, or other outings with their troups.

Flatiron - good one! Now when I see the little girls this weekend, that's what I'll be thinking about.
Although I am sure it is a great fundraiser, I just wish they would come up with something else. I love the one where the group is selling daffodils. I can't remember if that's for the heart association or something else. But, I love that!!! |
LOL Flatiron!
I don't buy GS cookies anymore either. But when it's "that time of year" I feel like I'm being stalked by them! I find the best answer to give them is " I already bought some" even though I didn't! Because any other response will yield you a nasty look from a parent that says "how dare you not want to buy cookies from this sweet little girl!" I'm sure all the girls are as sweet as a summer strawberry, but those cookies are nothing but evil!LOL! |
I don't like hard cookies, so I'm safe from these evil cookies, but I can relate to the temptation when it comes to all that horrible (wonderful) horrible Easter candy in the stores right now.....why oh why does every holiday or event have to be attached to sweets....argh!!

This year the troops had an option to buy the cookies for our troops in Iraq and Afganistan. So I just bought some cookies for the troops.

I have never had a girl scout cookie. Which makes it sound as though I'm really great at not buying cookies--or the cheapest curmudgeon ever. Maybe there aren't that many girl scouts in this area of the Canada? No one has ever even tried to sell them to me as an adult. I think one girl came to the door when I was a kid and mom said no. That was in the 80's.
I still manage to get more than my fair share of cookies though. lol |
They are so tempting! I was sitting at my desk minding my own business yesterday when one of my coworkers came by with an open package of the peanut butter ones--she offered it to me and the moment I smelled that peanut butter I couldn't resist taking one...Then I ate it verrrrrry slowly so I wouldn't be tempted to get a second!
I was a Girl Scout when I was younger and I do remember what a pain having to sell cookies was, though. It's great that they now have the option to send them to the troops! |
I don't typically buy any fundraiser items. I don't ask people to buy from my kids either--especially not right now when so many people are watching their money. I did buy one box this year to send to troops because a very close friend asked me to. If my girls were in scouts, I would buy xxx number of boxes (for gifts or troops) and be done with it. I don't like to obligate other poeple in what I find important. Some may not feel the "obligation" card when a kid asks, but I would say that's the way most of those cookies get sold.

omg i've had a taste for the PeanutButter ones...been jonesin for them BAD...i could easily be the one to see your 12 and raise you another box! I am thankful for this post...because I needed a reality check...if i buy a box...it will be eaten
|
I can't help to eat delicious food, after that I feel guilty and it seems that I get heavy at that time.
