I dodged buying them while the girls were stationed outside of the local Kroger but when the requests to purchase are circulated through the office, I know I'm not going to be able to dodge that.
"On average, Girl Scout council net revenue is approximately 65–75 percent of the local retail price of cookies; the amount shared with participating Girl Scout troops, referred to as troop proceeds, is approximately 10–20 percent of the local retail price."
Regarding the sale of the cookies, in todays environment, the majority of the cookie sales are made by moms, dads, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. Today, there were several moms and several girls stationed outside of the grocery. The moms were selling the cookies, the girls were standing around, more like a "decoration".
in other words, the girls are in training how to get others to do the hard work? hum.
The boxes get smaller every year and they are exspensive.
And the recipes are different over different parts of the country as well as types of cookies.I have faimly that is involved with it and they send cookies up north to NH and thoses folks send cookies here so that folks here from up there can get the kind they like.
Because cannabis is now legal in Canada, stores are opening and there are lots of line ups. Girl Scouts have been actively selling people to the people in these lines! I think that's ingenious marketing. I don't mind being milked a bit for a good cause. I consider it more of a donation than a purchase. It's a matter of value vs. price. I get value because I know I'm helping them out. --------------------------------------- added after 11 hours

The owner of the New England Patriots was just arrested for human trafficking and prostitution. Dont know all the facts yet just heard it on the 12:00 news!https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/22/new-england-patriots-owner-robert-kraft-charged-with-soliciting-prostitution.html
I know that there is a PISSING AT URINALS thread however I thought there was a thread about pissing in the shower.
Every time I go for a swim at the indoor pool nearby, I always take a leak before I get in so I don't have to jump out to use the toilet. For the most part, prior to taking my shower, I take a leak so that I won't feel the need to get out to use the toilet or piss in the shower. If I'm required to give a urine specimen and it is not at a time that I am able to do so, I always run water or splash my wrists with water and BINGO!, I can pee!
I would like to think that I am NOT unique in this way so what do you think that it is about water that makes people have to piss?
As for getting into the shower or the pool, sudden change in body temperature (cooling) causes the muscles to contract. The muscles around the bladder tighten up and give you the sudden urge to pee.
The running water thing is psychological. We associate the sound with the "tinkling" noise made when we pee in the toilet. Your brain hears it, and your bladder responds sympathetically.
On a related note, here is a little poem my Father told me when I was younger:
"Water sprayed on water
makes a sound that all can hear,
but water sprayed on porcelain
falls silent to the ear."
Apparently, as a k1d, I was a loud late-night pee-er.
What most women fail to understand is that when a young guy wakes up in the middle of the night (or early in the morning) to pee, his pee-tube isn't always...um..."bendy"...enough to aim properly.
Hey, my bladder "responds" to the cold weather, too! It always seems to be that as soon as I leave the building or house and step outside in the frigid air, I wish I had "used the restroom".
This brings to mind, at work, it is not uncommon to keep coworkers abreast of where you will be. Our buzz phrase for "I'm going to the restroom" is, "I'm going across the hall". Yep, the restrooms are located off the hallway where the bank of elevators are located. The office is probably a 60/40 split of women to men. I mean, it's not the guys are going to jump up and say they're going to "drain their vein" or that the women would be inclined to say that they have got to "tinkle", we go across the hall....
I am an opportunistic urinator. I drink a lot of water and coffee and it needs to come out so before I leave anywhere I will pee. When I'm at work there are opportunities that I take advantage of to pee because sometimes it's very inconvenient to take that break. Excuse me, I have to pee.
Because you need all the attention you can get... and that is evident in the fact you have not banned me.

I'm not certain whether you participate in Skittles polls or not, but in the event that you were curious about what I received for Valentine's Day, the correct answer was NOTHING. I did get taken out to dinner if that counts.

Apparently, Budweiser, brewed by Anheuser-Busch, Inc, has debuted two new Bud Light beers. Their new offerings are Bud Light Orange and Bud Light Lime which are brewed with respective citrus peel.
When I drink, I prefer vodka OR beer. When I drink beer, I want it to taste like beer, not oranges or limes. Years ago, I tried a Blue Moon beer that was garnished with an orange slice and I thought that was so wrong!
Does anyone drink beer or flavored beer? If you do, which beer do you prefer? My beer of preference is Michelob Ultra, 85 calories and under 3g in carbs.
They offered this beer at Sea World and Busch Gardens years ago. It never took off. I don't do the fruity beers. I'm more an IPA guy. But if you like Mich Ultra, you should try Corona Premier. It's less carbs and calories then Ultra. It has more beer taste.
Well, thank you very much! I do like the taste of beer and I tot hooked on Michelob Ultra because of the low calories and carbs. Heck, ANY beer tastes good when it is ice cold! Thanks for the tip!
Here is some information on those two particular beers.
CORONA PREMIER - The company is pitching this to men over 35. As for how it's different from traditional Corona, the new Premier version has 2.6 grams of carbohydrates and 90 calories compared to 148 calories and 13 grams of carbs in a traditional 12 oz. Corona. Corona Light has 99 calories and 5 grams of carbohydrates.
MICHELOB ULTRA - A 12-ounce bottle of Michelob Ultra has 2.6 carbs and 95 calories; Miller Lite has 3.2 carbs and 96 calories. But Anheuser-Busch put its marketing muscle behind Michelob Ultra as a low-carb beer.
I seem to remember Corona being popular in the late 80s to early 90s. I had my fair share of them but don't recall whether a lemon or lime was used. Maybe I had more than my fair share?
Here in Washington State we have so many fine microbrews some of which are made right in my town. Haven't had a sip in more than 5 years due to it being too hard to maintain a proper weight and bodyfat percentage.
It just occurred to me that you mentioned that this beer was offered at Busch Gardens.....Anheuser-BUSCH. That must be total embarrassment to launch their beer in their park and it is a big flop!
Years ago you could get free samples at Anheuser-Busch theme parks. I would say they stopped the free samples of beer at least 8 years ago. So this fruit flavored beer has been around since then. I would assume this is there campaign to wipe out the craft and home brew market. The difference in barrels that Anheuser-Busch sells a year to the second place company is astronomical.
i enjoy blue moon, but seldom do the orange slice. The orange slice is supposed to accentuate the orange peel already brewed in the beer. I like most all wheat beers/belgium beers. I love most german beers and english beers as well. and nothing like an English ale in a cozy pub when in the UK. Especially this time of year when pulled up next to a snapping fire in one's fave pub
I am not sure what Budweiser's reasoning is for this but I smell 'someone' wanting to reach out to a younger demographic.
This happens in so many areas these days, and probably it is right to do so, but I am one of those 'old fogeys' who thinks things are just great and thar beer should taste like beer.
The BBC - I know it is a broadcaster not a beer - is obsessed with the same target audience - the younger demographic - they keep talking of closing channels and releasing apps for this demographic. Which of course tmakes perfect sense as people like me wont be around for ever.
Mini rant over.
As long as genuine,real beer is still available and is not eased out then hey.. let them do it. But i wont be buying it.

By the way, I don't "need" attention nor am I searching for it. And if you have doubts, just say the word and I can block you.
