BEWARE! Those little cookie peddlers are out in full force, selling their boxes of diet-killers to the weak-willed dieters. You've been warned!!

    I see them almost every day either to or from work. Luckily, the cookies sell for $4 a box in Boston and I can get them for $3.50 a box if I wait until my niece is selling them again. :)

    I had boxes filling more than half my van as I have 3 girls selling. I think I have eaten AT THE MOST...12 :) I am so proud of myself!!! Last year I could have eaten a whole box of caramel delights on my own. And hid cookies from the kids. This year they love me because I might eat 3 and give them all the rest. :drinker:

    Every time I see them, looking so cute at their little tables, I feel guilty. But when they ask me, I'm like "Sorry, I'm trying to watch what I eat." Then I watch other people buy the cookies, and I think evil things: "Hahaha, you buy those cookies. I hope they taste delicious, because they are full of sugar and fat, and it's not worth it, and I'm going to be fitting into smaller jeans while you're rocking the sweatpants, so THERE." Aaaand, then I walk away.

    I just think, "There's people out there using little girls' cuteness to turn a profit" and I turn away and don't think twice.

    Scouting is against homosexuality, so I have no issue not giving money over to the organization.

    I googled what you said and in fact, you are only half right. Boy Scouts exclude homosexuality. Girl scouts don't.. Google girl scouts homosexual and there is some interesting articles.

    I usually buy a bunch and eat them by the handful. This year, I'm not letting any into the house. When I'm at maintenance, maybe I'll trust myself, but I know where my ability to handle reasonable portions ends.

    Sometimes I feel tempted but I can't really justify spending more than 4 bucks on a box of cookies.

    Nah, a "non advocacy policy" is just a way of saying "we don't care if you're lesbian and don't let anybody else know either". If someone has to be detered from stating they have a same sex partner (EX a troop leader can say "this is my husband", but a lesbian can't say "this is my partner") it's just a silent way of saying they are just closet conservatives IMO.

    Ya know what is really fun? Ask the girl selling what her favorite flavor is, buy them and then give them to her to share with her friends! It is killer to work a cookie table and not eat some! and you get to smile a little bigger when you think about the smaller jeans.

    I saw them outside the grocery store yesterday and they've never had a cookie that interested me. Now maybe if they offer a sugar free cookie then they will get my money but they don't.
