I love Thin Mints, especially after freezing them.

I once bought a case from a parent/co-worker.

I won't do that. I make BL JR do it all. I did help her with her sales pitch though ;) I believe I'm the only mom that made her do it all herself. She'll be better for it. My parents wouldn't do it for me and darn it, I'm not doing it for her :D

You just fly BL JR to AUS and have her make a pitch. I will buy. :D

My co-worker (who was selling) got a big lecture from me about what is jacked up about the selling program today (parents selling? Seriously?? Ga - even the cookie box says sales are to teach the young ladies skills).

And yet I still bought. I'm an idiot. And kids these days need more parents like you. ^

I was tagged by customs for five years as either a drug or jewelry smuggler. I just got used to the fact it was going to take me a looonnng time to get through and that I was going to have a conversation about every part of my trip and what I do while I'm away :rolleyes:

After the :rolleyes: at Passport Control Monday I see Global Entry in my future!!

Same for me, i am thinking to get a gas heater. Will cost me $300 or so total installed, that is 3 months of electric power over norms..

Thank you. I'll put her on the flight tomorrow for the pitch. We can meet at the P Club? :D

Her school decided to start a cookie dough fund raiser this week (bad timing). I told her I could not allow her to sell cookie dough when she's been selling cookies. I need to let the fundraising maven know why she won't be selling, but I couldn't do it. It's just not right. The non girl scouts can do it.
