Congrats to her!

2. If you don't find one
I can add you to my order if you don't mind having them shipped to you.

My usual girl scout. If she's not still selling, I'll PM you.

Thanks!

7. They are called Caramel Delights now
The Girl Scouts changed bakers. The cookies are still as good, they just changed all the names of them (much to my chagrin - Trefoils are now Shortbread, Samoas are Caramel Delights, Savannahs are now Peanut Butter Sandwich, etc.)

x(

We would have to be on a plane for 6 hours to get to your house to sell them.

:D

14. What about the mint cookies?
Those are my other favorites. :D

I'd almost be willing to take the plane ride to you, if it was free. :rofl:

4. I bought the mint cookies from the kid down the street.
I will buy more at my convention in March.

The mint cookies are going fast.

9. I haven't had a Girl Scout with mint cookies around here in a long time. I always get stuck with
something else. I loves me some thin mints.

12. At the convention the person selling the thin mints sells out very fast.
And she limits the number of boxes per person.

29. Almost.
You have to have a cookie connection going.

Sometimes Girl Scouts sell cookies in front grocery stores.

Maybe you could check the phone book for the number of your area Girl Scouts.

Maybe you could score some thin mints that way.

We already ate two boxes of them, the rest I have to hide.

30. Oh yeah, they all hang out in front of the stores around here and then I feel bad because they are
out in the cold and buy a few boxes, even though they won't give up their delicious thin mints.

31. The thin mints are the most popular.
Damn them, holding on to the thin mints.

They are just keeping them for themselves.:rofl:

40. go to girlscouts.org
and find your local council. If cookie sales are now they will sell over the phone to you w/o you leaving your house. Or they will take your name and number and refer it to a local troop leader to contact you for your sale.

If you don't know a Girl Scout this is the easiest way to get the cookies.

8. I bought 12
Her grandma bought her 5 so we will have 17 boxes of cookies in the freezer.

Plus the fact that as a Co-Leader, we are bound to buy them by the case, so the other leader and I will have to split the extras.

18. Both the Thin Mints and the Peanut Butter Sandwich cookies have that effect on me
:shrug:

One of the new varieties this year is a MAY zing. (the Lemonades - lemon flavored shortbread cookie with lemon frosting :9 )

23. The next Brownie I see I'm running away.
I shouldn't have thin-mint hoozie-whatzis, or any peanut-butter nonsense or lemon-curd-butter little snack item anywhere in my house.

32. I'll buy them, then,
out of a sense of I-don't-know-what, I'll give them to other people. You and I may have Girl Scout Cookie 6 degrees of seperation. :D

26. I tried to talk my boss today into
getting his daughters to join the Girl Scouts so they could become my cookie dealers. It didn't work so I guess I'll have to settle for the Edy's Thin Mint ice scream I bought recently and hope they come out with the Samoa ice cream this year.

37. Fess up, Mom - you brought the order form to work, didn't you?
:evilgrin:

I bought three boxes from one of my co-workers, although she did actually bring her daughters through the workplace so they could personally thank us for buying them!

I can't blame her - I certainly wouldn't let my hypothetical daughter(s) go door-to-door these days, either.

39. Ya'll have later sales than my council.
We just finished our deliveries and have turned in money to council.

(The little one almost had 500 sales this year. It'll be a decent little dent for camp.)
