Junior (Over)Achiever

And i look up collages all of the time i get 15 things in the mail a month to come visit for my madical academy i am in school!!!!

Have you been to the Romare Beardon exhibit at AMOA yet? It runs through the 14th. Sounds like you would enjoy it.

I did not google myself my best friend did and i saw these affending comments and i wanted to come defend my title.

No i am not affended at all. i am in dancing and bowling and getting back into gymnastics for my 13th year and trying to get in cheer.... I have good spelling i was typing really fast and i did not reread i was in a hurry to get to practice!!!

...and this is what happens when you stay up past your bedtime googling yourself.

The Girl Scouts are a wholesome organization. I don't think they'd approve of members "googling" themselves. PMANOI.

Heh, yeah, I had second thoughts after I hit submit. After all, I don't know what the kids are calling it these days.

But hey, lots of style points to Shalee for resurrecting a 4-year-old topic in such spectacular fashion.

Hello,

This is Shalee kay hindes the award winning cookie seeler. Right now i am keeping a GPA of 4.5 and am in allmost 3 differnt sports (dancing, gymnastics, bowling) I am a very free spirited person and i am enjoying life.To let you know a little bit about me i have one brother and i live with my mom who is single and has been since i was about 10. My mom does nothing but help me sucseed in life i could not have donethis without her i love you mom.

Now to get on the darker side of things the girl scout subject. I know my cookies back and forth up and down i could tell you how many cookies are in each box if you wished when you say that these girl scouts need to do more productive things besides makethe world what it is becoming today you are completly and totally wrong.It affends me greatly when you say these girls we are individuals just like you are. We learn how to stay healthy and make lives out of ourselves in girlscouts when you say these things on the internet it causes nothing but trouble and giving bad names helps no one. I love what i do and i will do it till the day i graduate if you want to try to change something wrong with the world why dont you makea campaign and do something world wide. Who ever this is needs to step off and geet there priorities straight. We learn an oath when we join witch is to be kind, considerate and caring to everyone....You are not showing any respect to me so i will do the same to you.

I am not a brat or a broad i love this world and the people in it. And for girlscouts i have never done one of those booths in my life you where you cheat and you sit infront of a door all day long and ask people to buy cookies i do it the hard way its called door to door...NOW WHaT HAVE YOU DONE FOR YOUR KIDS LIKE MY MOTHER HAS FOR ME STEP OFF!!!!!

Thank You

Shalee Hindes

You've got the GPA and activities down, but you'd better work on your spelling and grammar before you start sending out college admissions essays.

I hope this doesn't affend you, but I'd like to know witch of the 3 differnt sports are you allmost in?

Ooooh, a food item about which Odam is wrong, wrong, wrong. I never thought I'd see the day. E, I gotcher back.

As for other annoying scout/campfire/glee club/you-name-it sales, I think the laaaamest is the freakin' popcorn. It's always HUGE boxes that sit in the back of the pantry and ultimately attract bugs. Bleah.

you callin' me a chump, man? Oh, it's on! =)

"That's $14,584 boxes" ..? drop the "$"..

thin mints are the dessert-equivalent of breakfast tacos:

overated chump food

Thinmints = uncontrollable projective vomit.

The Tagalongs were pretty good back in the day, especially after being frozen... My niece sells fucking cans-o-nuts nowadays to raise cash for the Girlscout charade. And Uncle Craig always does his share of faithful, obedient, secretly-seething part to support her and her street-gang's efforts.

Goddamn nuts. Better than Gold C Coupon books though. What were the Boy Scouts thinking there? Dudes don't do coupons, books, or stupid coupon books.

My beef with them is that I swear the price per box is going up and the amount of cookies per box is going down. I still love those Thin Mints though.

Um, whatever, Tagalongs ROCK.

I agree the cookies aren't any good. It seems I hear many gripes of someone's all-time favorite variety having been discontinued years ago but the legend lives on through substitute cookies bought by habit or pity for these groveling girls, which are to ultimately grow stale in the pantry.

As bigger cookie makers are revamping their recipes to attract health conscience buyers the recipes/ingredients of Scouts' cookies have remained stagnant ie. tons of partially hydrogenated oils. (The cookies are "manufactured" well in advance which would require the shelf stable oils.) The boxes have intense packaging; more air than cookies.

Why not focus this effort/money to teach the girls valuable cooking skills? Or, to promote their nutrition education? Please don't tell me that wheeling and dealing a crummy product has become the priority life lesson for the girls to gleam from scouthood? This "non-profit" program models our nutritionally corrupt food supply in America.

It will be interesting to watch as the battle against childhood obesity flares-- will the scouts have to push and deal their garbage snacks in even harder, new, creative ways?

I do love the cookies, but I refused to buy any this year because I got tired of being accosted by little girls every place I went. The grocery store, the video store, the pharmacy. I wouldn't be surprised to see a pair of them parked outside the Yellow Rose.

I think I'm the only person in America who finds nothing tasty about any of the various Girl Scout cookies.

I just don't get the hoopla when my friends' have entire freezers packed with that stuff.
