10. Yummm! I can taste them all the way from here! Starbucks also has
a big round chocolate mint cookie that tastes just like a Girl Scout Thin Mint. It tides me over during the year.

5. What got me was
As a brownie troop, they only get to keep fifty cents off of each three dollar box. The rest went to council. The older girls get to keep a dollar I think.

6. yes, my belly knows!!!
i ate half a box of lemon coolers on the way home from picking them up. i finished it off the next day. today i got into a box of trefoils! i'm proud to say, though, that i have not had ONE samoa yet! there is even an open box in the cupboard!

there are actually cases of cookies on my living room floor. my 10 year old is a GS, but she is out of town for a week, so they sit. and taunt me.......
