| I just verified what I heard on the news - you can buy GSC on Ebay. Is this a good thing or a bad thing........... | |

| Probably not...
at least not to our "bottom lines" or maybe someone else's "Bottom Line" (you may want to stick this in the infamous Discussion:Voiding stale dated payroll checks, punch, cookies, Jim Jones, china, coffee, cat food and unclaimed property thread)

| I was trying to be a good girl and share, but still kinda/sorta keep it a secret. ;-) | |
Bottom Line (talk|edits) said: | 7 March 2008 |
Fortunately hubby keeps me fed with healthy food and I inherited my Dad's good genes so I don't have to worry too much about my "Bottom Line". (Yes - everyone can hate me now!)

| It's OK, Tom, my 10:00 appt has a GARAGE FULL of girl scout cookies and she's bringing me some this afternoon. Just in time for a long weekend of corp. tax returns....I am sooooooooo happy. And soon to be soooooooooo fat. Oh well, why can't calories consumed during tax season be made to not count; maybe if I drink with a diet soda they will cancel out. | |

| You guys are ruining your health. I can't eat all those cookies. You're going to kill yourself.
I like a client with a kid on Ritalin. If they will throw in a handful of those, I've been known to knock a bit off my bill. If you try this, don't take the minimum dose, that's child's play. Double it, or even triple it. It's pure Amphetamine. I once got a Fortune 500 return filed on a 1040EZ on that stuff; half a days work. The IRS said they had never seen anything like it, and accepted the return as timely filed. Never audited. Jeez, I better put a "smile" in here before you DO think I'm serious.lol. | |

| That was "Jeez, I better put a smile in here before you DO think I'm serious." lol. | |

| Darn JD, I thought you were serious. Took your comments sooooo seriously that I gave all my GSCs away and went to the store for DIBS instead. Feel MUCH better :-) | |

| Just found this thread. And I have been laughing for a few minutes now. Crow, you are just too much and what Belle and Action said just topped it. | |

| My little girl (who is now 9) is selling them. I wound up buying a few boxes. I resisted for a while, but I couldn't hold out.
Considering from 2008 until now, I have lost 60 lbs., I think I can have a few. Tom | |

| Who can think about Girl Scout Cookies when I can buy Robin Eggs, from the makers of Whoppers, from Hershey? You might remember these from your childhood, malted milk balls covered in chocolate with a hard candy coating.
Talk about you can't eat just one, I almost had to call my endroconologist in the middle of the night last nite. I knew I shouldn't have sauntered down the Easter candy aisle. I am sitting here staring at the empty bag as I write this, in disgust with myself. lol. | |

| Crow, if you are ever traveling in Central PA, be sure to stop at Hershey's Chocolate World. It's a free mini-Epcot style ride with animatronic singing cows, music, etc., the point of which is to dump you into the retail sales area filled floor to ceiling with Hershey's products, and stuff you didn't even know they made.
http://www.hersheys.com/chocolateworld/ Trust me, you don't know disgust until you've gone home with shopping bags full of product. | |

| My sister took her kids up there for the tour Walking. As I said, my doctor would go ballistic if he knew I ate this stuff.
I think these grocery stores are trying to kill us. They put out the holiday candy long before the holiday. It's getting to the point that if you don't buy Halloween candy in August, there is none left by Halloween. I give the Girl Scouts credit. Not only do they bake their own product with their own little hands, they wrap them in real wax paper, and get out and sell them. None of this made in China stuff for the Girl Scouts. But that cooking at a young age ruins them as a good hard working wife. All they want after they get 20 is to be spoiled at one of the finer restaurants. | |

| The best time to buy Halloween candy is after Halloween. That's when it's 50% off. (There's always plenty of it here. I think it's because they put it out so early -- by the time the special day comes around, people are tired of it.)

| Last year I enjoyed a box of New Zealand Girl Guide biscuits. Like their American counterparts, they are not made from real Girl Guides. | |

| Oh my, Hershey's Chocolate World! Too many times my hard earned dollars have been spent there. You just can't leave with one shopping bag of goodies, it's a minimum of two. We walked away with three the last time. It didn't last long in our house.
When they were giving tours of the original factory (way back when), my family got to take one. It was great. I can still see the Hershey Kisses rolling off the line. I'm hungry now. I bought Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs recently. I think I will have some. Tom | |

| Thank goodness I live a couple of hours away. I would be there every day if I lived 14 miles away!

| Well, we can't get Girl Scout Cookies this year and I'm on a low carb diet anyway. BUT I finally found Peeps and jelly beans!!! I went to the store to get a gift card for my son's birthday (even he doesn't want to tell how old he is these days) and there they were Peeps in all kinds of colors and jelly beans - the spice kind. I'm pretty sure they have no carbs in them, they taste too good. Don't spoil my day by correcting me. | |
