Sweet, darling, adorable little blond girl just dropped of my two boxes of Girl Scouty goodness. Unfortunately, that rotten kid of mine was here when they arrived, so I’ll have to share. How lucky that I just bought a fresh gallon of milk yesterday! That’s all. Carry on! ---

Yum! Havn’t run across the scouts yet here in Nashville. I usually buy outside the grocer. Looking forward to it though with tall glasses of cold milk. Yummsters! My favs are the p’nut butter cookies. DoSiDo? I don’t remember but the scouts always know what I want from my grunts and drooling gesticulations. By the by, my two younger Sisters were scouts so I think I became addicted at an early age. ---

Hey **FairyChatMom** , what kind did you get? I ordered a box of Samoas (coconut/caramel) & a box of Thin Mints from a woman with whom I share a couple classes; two of her little darlings are Girl Scouts. ---

My cookies are at **CrankyAsAnOldMan** ’s house. I was there yesterday, but they were in the car, and the huge amounts of snow (and, um, the copious amounts of alcohol I had consumed) prevented us from going outside and getting them. Oh, the pain, the pain. I ordered some cookies for **Montfort** , too, because he is living in Sweden now, and otherwise will go GS cookieless! I cannot allow such a tragedy to occur. ---

I think my $12 worth of GS cookies will be awaiting me tomorrow morning when I get back to work after a weeks vacation golfing in the Gulf coast of Mississippi. ---

Hello. My name is Sunspace and I am a recovering Girl-Guide-Cookie-oholic. I– _thud_ Oh dear. I seem to have fallen off the wagon. \ Cookie? \ Cookie? And what’s all this about _different types_? \ _Samoas_? Like American Samoa? In T.O. we just get the traditional chocolate-and-vanilla ones in the spring and the mint ones in the fall… Mmmm… Mint chocolate Girl-Guide cookies… \ ---

Like [these](http://www.guidesontario.org/cookies/ourtwo.htm) I surmise. American Girl Scout cookies are made by one of two bakeries ([a FAQ](http://www.girlscouts.org/faqs/cookies.html)); different names for some varieties, slightly different tastes. A typical example of the variety is on [this page](http://www.littlebrowniebakers.com/cookie_corner/cookie_corner_home.htm) or [that page](http://www.girlscoutcookiesabc.com/atc/index.htm). AmbushBug [sub]i have a lot of cookies in the kitchen. they are calling me.[/sub] ---

Share? _Share??_ Much as I luvs ya all [sub]and ya knows I does[/sub] there ain’t no way I’m sharing. All I’ve got is 2 boxes - Tag Alongs and a new one whose name I don’t remember (plain cookie with chocolate icing on the bottom. It took all my self control not to inhale them last night. My kid had one or two and her boyfriend had the good sense to keep his grubby hands off my GS cookies. They’re waiting for me at home… the only thing to get me thru this stupid Monday at the office. ---

Well, interesting twist - someone in the office had been taking orders and the cookies were delivered today. They’re all over the place. My cube mate has 3 boxes, including one of Tagalongs… The poopyhead! That’s OK. I’ll just drink my water. And I’ve got a yogurt. Who wants cookies anyway?? \
