They can do SO much good!

The scouts are an excellent alternative to street gangs IMHO.

Mm, but shortbreads are one cookie that is easy to make.
The recipe is flour, butter and sugar.

I've considered playing with the atkins (or generic low carb) bake mix
to try to come up with a low carb version using splenda.

The organization attracts some real ******s! My son's troop did a trip from
upstate NY to Hershey, PA and a few other places down there. The leader was
a woman who had her head up her ass. When we arrived at the church to
depart, she had arranged for the priest to bless the troop and the trip. OK.
Fine. One Buddhist kid didn't say "amen", and she ripped him a new a-hole.
She then said we were to follow her on this 5 hour ride, convoy style, which
only crazy people think is a good idea. She chose the worst possible route,
a two-lane country road populated by an endless series of gravel trucks
which nobody could seem to pass. After an hour of going up mountains at 20
mph, breathing diesel fumes, I managed to pass the whole convoy. We spotted
the restaurant which was our first stopping point, and when she arrived, she
attempted to rip ME a new a-hole. The trip did NOT go well from that point
on. Two days later, we were at a scout camp which was 10 minutes from route
81, a real highway. It was pouring rain, and she planned to go back to the
nasty country road. I told her I'd be taking the highway. She told me there
was a buddy system, so I could not take a different route back unless there
was another car with me. I gave her 15 minutes to find one. She didn't. The
rest of the sheep took 8 hours to get home.

Oh...and my son had been camping since he was like 2. He'd set up tents in
rain & high winds lots of times with his parents. The leader was showing the
kids how to set up their tents, and taking forever as the temp was dropping
and darkness was near. My son took matters into his own hands and had his
tent up, with the help of another kid, in about two minutes. He got yelled
at for not listening.

But, the last straw was when the BSA eliminated the merit badge for
Unitarians, which my son was sorta kinda trying to get.

Yeah, but the goal is to teach boys how to be men, not sheep, which is what
some of the leaders believe.

I had to wonder about our local pack right from the beginning. One of the first
events was the Cub Car rally. In case you don't have them there, the kids buy
the car kids, basically a few pieces of wood with some axles and plastic wheels
and they put them together and paint and decorate them. Then they get together
and have a race. They also judge the cars on appearance. The cub master's kid
won. There is no question it was the nicest car. His father did a great job on
it. If I had known that it was a project for the fathers I would have done my
son's car for him. I thought it was hi project and made him do it himself.

That's unfortunate. Hopefully, an isolated case and not represetative
of the organization as a whole. After 3-4 yrs as a Cub Scout and 3 as
a Boy Scout, I finally quit due to blatant nepotism within our troop.
But, while I regret that incident, I can't default an organization
that taught me many meaningful lessons in life, gave me a lifelong
love of the outdoors, and provided my with many great memories.
Unfortunately, like any organization, it can only be as good as the
people running it at any given time.

It's March around here. Interestingly, over on the Illinois side it's a
much different time, like in the fall, so we get a second shot at
cookies from the parents who live over there. I'm not sure if that's
good or not.

That's okay. Girl Scouts are pretty scarce around here, so temptation
isn't an issue. Cookies are one of my worst vices.

We bought a new variety called Lemon Coolers this year. They were a
new, low-fat variety. I thought they were boring. My daughter liked em
though. (We seem to be Little Brownie residents here in VA)

Yeah, that's weird. I always get the Trefoils, but haven't seen a
lemon pastry cream in years. I'll lean on them little hussies next
year.

I've been seeing GS and their parents in front of supermarkets around here
for several weeks now. That's how I get mine.

I saw those, but they didn't look very good so I didn't get any. The
Lemon Pastry Cremes had a flaky pastry cookie with lemon filling.

I restricted myself to two boxes o' thin mints this year. I'm half-way
through the first "line" of box 2.

I was there the whole time. But, there were a lot of kids from households
with missing fathers. They were either alone at the meetings, or with their
mothers, and the moms were not inclined to **** on the troop leader. If it
hadn't been for me and one other dad, there never would've been a knot-tying
night. The leader thought rope was dangerous. A-hole.

I can't respect any group that chooses to dump on a religion (Unitarianism)
because the U-church accepts gays. If I wanted my son hanging with
neanderthals, I'd take him to Republican party gatherings.

Yeah...same thing here. Even my son said it was insane how much technology
was being applied by some of the fathers.

GS cookes are a total rip-off! Anyone who buys them should be punished
to the fullest extent of the law! They demean the GS, who make very
little from them, line the pockets of the manufacturer, and defraud the
customer. This is a total hoax and should not be allowed to continue!

Oh, BTW, my favorites are those delicious Tagalongs! Can't pass them
up!

All of them, unfortunately. About 10 or 12 years ago when our daughters
were young, my wife was an assistant Girl Scout leader. For a few years
in a row, she got the job of managing cookie sales. We stored cases of
cookies in our garage until they were distributed to the Troop for
sales. Of course we ended up buying cases of the stuff for family and
friends. The sad thing is, the local Troop that does all the work only
received less than 25-cents per box of cookies, out of the then $ 2.00
per box price.

I discovered that if you offer a lady frozen thin mints you can seal the deal
within an hour.

Frozen Caramel Delights (sometimes called Samoas), and you're looking at
lifetime commitment. No lie.

The thin mint thing worked for me, she was cute, but I never got to try the
caramel delights.

Oh I'm there, just mostly lurking.
I started that vitamin B-2 thread.
I really, really hate that stuff, but I take it anyway.
I gag it down right before going to sleep after eating
a light meal so it'll sit ok.

It makes a noticable difference in my eyesight. It helps
with Astigmatism. (sp?)

I love the texture and flavor of Boston Butter lettuce! ;-d

There is always that line from Adams Family:

"Are they made with real Girl Scouts?"

Those are my favorites, too. Not only are your brownies banned from
my home, those particular cookies are, too. I'm glad I don't work at my
old job anymore, the boss' little girls sold cookies and were were
pressured into buying them. Of course, I bought the low fat cookies...
AND the coconut chocolate ones.
I don't remember what they were called, probably because the box never
lasted too long around the house. Hours, tops.
