5284 - Look out! The Girl Scouts are coming.


I've helped my daughter sell GS cookies years ago. I buy GS cookies from my granddaughter and friends' daughters and granddaughters. And the prices keep going up while the amount of cookies keeps going down. 


Can this be that far off?

It must be American news, when even the headline has a spelling mistake.

Stu - In one area of the country, once a year, the girl scouts are selling cookies to make money. The cookie plant runs year round as the selling areas shift around the country.

Dear Mike, when they left out 2 letters in 'aggressive' (ready or likely to attack or confront; characterized by or resulting from aggression), maybe they were hoping for something more congenial. After all, the 2 missing letters were G and S, which also stand for Girl Scouts.

Blasted blogger has a new trick today. It is hiding a lot of images from me. Including this one.

One of the great advantages of being retired is that it eliminates "co-workers" as a category of people whose daughters are hocking Girl Scout cookies. Now, it's mainly neighbors, as none of my granddaughters went into the Girl Scouts.

Girl Scout cookies are indeed delicious but SO fattening and bad for us!

I was a Girl Scout (I can still recite my oath), and I always went door-to-door selling cookies, but left my squirt gun at home.

I think someone holding me a gunpoint would be the only way I'd buy Girl Scout cookies now.

Mike said...

Geo - I missed that. That makes this like The Davinci Code. I'll look for the next clue.

Sue - Blogger? Messing up? Say it ain't so!

Bill - With my daughter and SIL both working from home now, there will be more pressure this year to buy MORE cookies.

Deb - I thought Thin Mints made you thin!

Shaw - Think how many more you would have sold carrying an AR15!

Kathy - My SIL's brother is a tRUMPer. He has an AR15. So you're saying if I borrow it and pay you a visit I could get a BIG cookie sale for my granddaughter?

You might be onto something, Mike. They are getting really aggressive out here in Idaho.

Matt - They're operating in teams.
