THIN MINTS!!!!

The topic: THIN MINTS (or your favorite Girl Scout Cookie)

You know, the kind sold by those sneaky little Girl Scouts.... no matter how hard you avoid them, they FIND YOU!!!! If I didn't know any better, I think they earn badges on how to stalk potential cookie buyers (aka: SUCKERS)

I NEVER, ever, in a million years, thought I would see a Girl Scout at the Fort Worth Stock Show Parade Staging Grounds where it was 40 degrees and rainy.... and overall nasty weather..... we were all done with our part of the parade, (which, by the way, is the longest non-motorized parade in the world) and my team and I were unsaddling our horses and had gotten them loaded up in the trailers....when out of nowhere like she was stalking me, comes this little girl...." 'scuse me" she says.... "yes young lady, can I help you" was my reply (mistake #1.... I should have run like the wind).... what can I say.... I thought she needed help.... and ..... well, nevermind.... when her face brightened up I should have known to run, but nooooo.... I stood there and my jaw dropped as she asks "wudja like to buy some girl scout cookies?"

y'all would be proud of me, I only bought ONE box of Thin Mints....... right along with the box of Carmel Delights and the shortbread cookies.... dammit.....

how many and what kind of Girl Scout Cookies are ya gonna buy this year????

in years long ago I loved the chocolate chips with the pecans in them, a few years ago I loved the lemon coolers For years and years though my favorite has been Samoas and the Thin Mints, and the Do Si Do's.

Since I was a child I don't ever remember a year when GSC's weren't either sold by someone in the family, a neighbor or a coworker until about 3 yrs ago. I guess everyone finally grew up after 40 yrs. LOL

The past 25 yrs 2 of my coworkers have had girls in scouts and I bought bundles I mean like I had GSC's in the freezer for most of the year.

However I think those pesky little angels are learning a very valuable lesson when they go out to sell. It doesn't matter how many boxes I already have, if a child has the courage to approach me and ask me be it at Walmart, Food Lion or at my door, I at least by a box. I think selling things and going door to door builds character and also teaches them reward and failure. Everyone doesn't say yes yanno
