The Girl Scouts are under attack

[okasha]

from the right, in part because they have never discriminated against lesbians girls and because they support Plannned Parenthood. Cookie Season has arrived, with all its addictive deliciousness. If you would like to support young women developing leadership qualities and independent judgement, do what Hillary would do. Get thee out right now, find a Scout or troop leader in your neighborhood and buy an armload of these goodies. I can't testify to the keeping qualities of all varieties, but Thin Mints keep beautifully in the freezer.

To any meddlesome skulker thinking about making an SOP alert, two things: the post does mention Hillary, and no cookies for you, Grinch.

1. Hillary Clinton and Chelsea Clinton

were both Girl Scouts, so I'm sure they'd approve!

Alas, as I age, my stomach is less able to tolerate the grand majesty that is the Thin Mint. As in, severe reflux and...other stuff we won't discuss.

I always just buy some and give them away to younger, more gastrically stable friends.

2. Buy them and give them to local food banks

4. I got your back on the SOP alert.

Pardon the pun but I spend a small mint on Girl Scout cookies every year.

10. Me, too.

I ordered five boxes of Thin Mints today. They've been my favorites since I was a Brownie.

5. I usually give them 10 dollars but passs on the cookies. The trans fat in some of them is horrible.

11. The Peanut Butter Sandwiches are to die for!

That's what my cardiologist keeps telling me!

13. I"ll bet your doctor

has a secret stash and noshes down after the staff have all gone home.

12. See dlwickham's suggestion in post 2.

Or buy a few boxes and give them to homeless folk.

6. Ordered three boxes yesterday.

And I live on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere. But this young girl rings my doorbell every year. I always buy from her. Her mother, for some reason drives her way out here in the sticks to sell her cookies. She's a smart kid, too. I always chat with her for a couple of minutes. As a former teacher, I ask her how she is doing in school. She says that she is doing well (adverb modifies verb -- good girl !).

Shortbread! Yummy!
Peanut butter sandwiches! Oh boy!
Thin mints! Oh dear!

Always support the Girl Scouts!

14. Your sales rep

is doing rural outreach. I know she must also appreciate your interest in her accomplishments.

too, longship.

7. Since the RW has started their campaign I make sure to purchase cookies every year.

It is a reverse boycott.

8. Mahalo okasha! Girl Scout Cookies!

It's none of their business what we post, anyway.
