It's that time of year

“I went into work Monday and found 8 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies that I had ordered in Dec. I had totally forgotten about them. I have been watching what I eat and had lost some weight and now these show up. Luckily I didn't order my favorite cookie the Thin Mints. We take those and throw them in the freezer and use them throughout the yr as toppings on ice cream and other items. My 2nd favorite one is the Samoas and I got 4 boxes of them. So far I have limited myself to 4 cookies yesterday and today. I put all of the boxes in the freezer and that is where (I hope) they stay until summer.

Anyone else go overboard on Girl Scout Cookies”

“3 boxes of those coconut kind... that makes me guilty after loosing 15lbs..”

“lol Ewker. I don't know how I escaped the girl scout cookie gauntlet this year.

Bring some of those peanutbutter ones on the next trip I see you, I'll take care of them for ya.”

“I have a young neice in the scouts- I couldn't resist that look she gave me and ended up with half a dozzen boxes.”

“mmmm Thin Mints.. my fav!

I've already devoured my box. Mine came in mid January.”

“Buddha Bear, are you coming on the Red River Gorge Trip next month, if you are I will gladly bring you some of those peanut butter cookies. Are you talking about the tagalongs or the do-si-dos? I have both unfortunately.”

“Are you sure those were Girl Scouts selling you those things? Perhaps they were t3rr1sts! (Sorry h0m31and security!)



DO YOU REALLLY know what's in those things?”

“Are they made from real Girl Scouts?”

“Ewker, I'm not sure what BB is talking about, but I like the chocolate covered "peanut butter patty" type. They're all called different names in different regions. And, I will be at RRG! =)”

“a cub scout doesn't become a boy scout till he eats his first brownie!”

“is that before or after he becomes a "We Blow"? Not that there's anything wrong with that.”

“Our cookies arrive the middle of March. My girls ordered lots of extras to sell to all of you hikers who will be ready for a new batch!”

“Free23, same thing happened with me. Its the first year my niece has sold them. My whole family ended up with about 2 dozen, total. (We're a small family!)

The Carmel Delights/Samoas are my FAVORITE! (Think I ordered 3 boxes....)”

“I have a truckload coming. This is my little sister's first year in the girl scouts. I'm trying to support the cause. :) We don't get ours until March either.”

“Ewk, ya gotta lump Girl Scout Cookies right up there with illegal aliens. It's subversive, I tell ya. Might be some kind of Al Qaeda plot.

I ordered three boxes, two thin mints and one shortbread (formerly trefoils).”

“Green alert, green alert, strong likelihood of Girl Scout Cookie attacks, especially in big cities.”

“Geobeet, only three boxes? Buy some more from me before you suffer a Samoa or Tagalong attack!”

“My girl scout cookies just arrived. Strategy: put them on my desk for visiting employees...”

“Has anybody else seen the billboards with the smiling Girl Scouts holding up boxes of cookies with the caption "Resistance is Futile"? I almost wrecked my car when I saw one...”

“Actually I didn't think that the billboards were appropriate. I don't want to commercialize the girl scouts.

The boy scouts, on the other hand, need a millenium makeover. A red bow tie, I mean REALLY!”

“A red bow tie? Ya ate one too many pieces of cinnamon toast Lyndy.”

“Lyndy, contact Maple about buying cookies if they are still available. We haven't seen any girl scouts selling in our area. Those caramel things sound really good. I love caramel. And do they still have those delicious vanilla creme jobbies? Oh, yeah and ask Maple if she wants any of her own. lol”

“Okay, Treebeard! But no they don't have vanilla creme cookies. There are peanut butter chocolate covered patties called Tagalongs, caramel and cookie circles with bits of coconut and chocolate called Samoas, chocolate cookies with macadamia nuts called Aloha Chips, the ubiquitus (sp?) Mint Thins, an oval cookie with milk chocolate on one side called All Abouts, a peanut butter cookie with a peanut butter filling called Do Si Dos and some weird cookie that looks like a vanilla wafer covered with powered sugar, with lemon flavoring, called Ole Ole.

Geobeet, they don't wear red ties at the neck? WHere is my handbook, I could have sworn they were wearing these really dorky looking ties.”

“Okay, I was wrong, they don't look that bad.

“Grrrr... you have to scroll down and click on "Scout Stuff" to see the picture.”

“They don't come by where I live.

8)”

“jeeeeez, Bit. Now how do I get the image of Seven of Nine in the Girl Scout uniform outta my head??”

“I bought 8 boxes”

“well they have arrived again....cookie time. At least I bought the lowest fat ones they had. A plus is they had no cholestrol, no trans fat and low sodium. Sure hope they taste good with all the good stuff omitted..lol”

“Ours don't come until March.
girls scout cookies = chemicals that taste good, LOL...

I order a bunch every year. This year I ordered 12 boxes under my name, then the kids wanted to order some...at least my troop will be able to pay me back for all the badges, etc. I've bought!
I don't eat many, I'm not a big cookie fan.”

“Thank goodness most of the women I work with have aged enough so they don't have school age girls.

I no longer buy crap from my male coworkers.
I've been buying their kids crap for years.
I brought in some stuff for one of my nephews and none of the cheap tightwads would buy from him.

I make a point of telling them that, if they have the nerve to ask me to buy crap to help their kids now.”

“Forgive, forget and open your wallet. You know you want those cookies, StoveStomper.”

“I agree with Stove....I have bought candy bars, wrapping paper, cookies, popcorn...and when it came time for my kids to support their school with the 'Buy A Yacht, to support the football team" noone would pony up.

Actually my kids are in private school, each year they offer me two choices. Pay "x" number of dollars to a student fund or make the kids sell stuff.”

“The kidlets are in private school as well, but we don't have that option at our school - only for the beano days. The other private school in town does, but I understand that if they sell, they have to sell enough to earn x number of $$.

The only person in my office who doesn't buy from the fund raisers is my boss.

Right now I'm collecting people's old socks for this project with my Brownies:

I did stres that we only wanted CLEAN socks, LOL...”

don't you pay enough for them just to go to a private school without all that other BS”

“Ana's school requires 8 hours of parental involvement, and 2 beano days per kid. There is always something going on that requires $$.

I can't really afford it, but I absolutely love the place. What a difference between this and my son's years at public school.”

“What the heck is a beano day ?

A day for just farting around?

“LOL...that's what my son tells me! :)
bingo, beano, whatever!”

“This reminds me I need to keep $14 out for our cookies. They come in this weekend.”

“The lady I like in the office that I have deferred because I think she smokes, just bought a box of Girl Scout Cookies and brought it over and gave it to me.

I feel like Al Bundy in Married With Children, when he was smiled at by a pretty girl and he said to Peg "She likes me Peg! I think she likes me!"

LOL

Yesterday sucked the big one, today is completely different.”

“you're so easy!”

you still don't know if she smokes or not!! you waiting on Christmas or something”

“Buy me a box of cookies, twiggy, and see just how easy I am, LOL.”

“I deferred her, Ewker.
LOL”

“you should probably give those cookies away. Probably has smoke smell on the box that might get on your fingers then onto the cookies and into your mouth..bad, just throw them away but make sure she doesn't see you do it”

“Heck, I've been begging any TT lady to bake me some oatmeal cookies for a couple of years now.....
No cookies from any of them! ;-)

“what a shame. I have had cookies baked for me by a really nice TT lady =)”

“If you use enough lube, she probably wouldn't smoke.”

“I don't bake cookies. However, I do have eleventy billion boxes of GS cookies on the way.

I can make a barbie doll cake, want one Stovey? Ewker?”

“eleventy billion boxes of GS cookies!!!!!!!

Be still my heart!!!!

Checking airlines now! ;-)”
