“Somewhere between the wedding reception and delivery room, many women abandon their brains, body and libido.”
And some people are born with the arrogance gene and should mind their own business!

My troop sold every one of the 696 boxes of cookies we ordered!!! And there were only 6 girls eligible to sell them. We will now have a nice chunk of change in the Troop account to cover most of the costs of the girl's camping trip in April :)

I call foul
they make between 50 cents and a buck per box depending on the type and local council policy.

*APPLAUSE* Glad to hear it. Stick it to 'em!
Couldn't they find any crunchy, coconut-y, chocolate-dipped Americans to sell??

This isn't Roth's first anti-fat publicity stunt. She also hosts the Wedding Gown Challenge, which encourages women to do annual checks to make sure that they still fit into their wedding gowns: "Most women I know commit fraud on their wedding days—they weigh-in for the walk down the aisle with no expectation of maintaining that weight year after year."
I got married for the 1st time in 1984, if I still had that dress it would be too BIG for me!!! (it went to a good cause, I wore it for a Jello-slide to support the Leukemia Society). I remarried in 1997, that dress is still in my closet and I wore it to the 2005 Freeper Innaugural Ball.
This woman is a whacko!!!!!
And this year they also introduced a sugar-free cookie.......and they're GOOD!!!!!
And you would probably be correct!!! When we still lived in Dover, before our daughter got involved in GS, the local liquor store was exactly where I bought the cookies...the owners had 2 daughters in GS.
My Wedding Dress ended up on stage. I donated it to my Mom who is the Costume Mistress for our local theater company.
It's been in "Oklahoma!" and "My Fair Lady" (with modifications) so far.
Man, I can't believe what a Conspicuous Consumer I used to be. That dress cost me $300 an HOUR to wear. Yeesh! If only I had invested that money in a solid mutual fund years ago, LOL!
This was my daughter's 2nd year in GS and my first time as "Cookie Mom." Today was the final day of "official" sales for our Council and I just finished the accounting. We have a Brownie Troop, but of the 6 girls eligible to sell, they sold close to 700 boxes, and the money I put into our Troop Account tomorrow is going to make a huge dent in the cost of the camping trip they are looking forward to in April.
I encourage all young girls to give Scouting a try.
I never had the opportunity when I was growing up, I'm glad my daughter does. And I commend you on being a Leader, I couldn't do it, that's why I'm Treasurer and Cookie Mom!!!!
In your next life, just remember to drag your honey down to the Justice of the Peace and have a civil service in your casual clothes. :-)
Maybe when Mememememe was young, she was fat and got tormented by a bunch of Girl Scouts over it.
You're correct. My troop made 70 cents per box.

The girls will find that out Tuesday night.....they don't know it yet, only the Leader and I are aware of that. 58 cases of them.
I tried the thin mints. They didn't work. They didn't make me thin at all.
I did that last time around. Best twenty bucks I've ever spent. And it's still stickin'! Twelve years already next month. :)
I was young and stupid and chose "Princess for a Day" last time around, versus "Marriage for a Lifetime." ;)
ROFLMSS!!!!!!!! That's FUNNY!
I would have donated it to a local theater guild or something, but no one was doing a production of Gone With the Wind!!!!
