I hear your frustration but... For an organization to have top leadership to run it well and effectively it needs to entice people his high-level skills to work there. Part of how you do that is with offering a competing salary.

I don’t know, in this day and age they might get shot at by someone “standing their ground” if they go door to door.

Please take your crotchety old hag self and stand outside in a snowstorm for 2-3 hours, smiling and being pleasant the entire time. This is what Scouts have to deal with in many parts of the country because Cookie Season is during winter. Walking is not only impractical, but dangerous, because people don’t clear their…

Just noting that most of the money from cookie sales goes to the local council.

THIS!!! GSUSA is doing everything right that the BSA was doing wrong.

Weasley and they’re a family of garbage people.

GSUSA is such an incredibly inclusive organization. But GSUSA needs donations, so if you find it worthy, please do.

Your opinions? Both of them?

I’ll gladly pay the $5. I’d happily pay $7 per box for what they’ve meant to my daughter.

Now that I am in the business of selling Girl Guide cookies (Canadian scout-type thing), I say this just makes sense from the making of change perspective. Ours are 5 bucks and we didn’t have to hand out any change outside of the Walmart. Cute kids make it easy to sucker the people with tens and twenties into extra…

Then how do NFL defenses get so good if they are pulling from college players who play against college style offenses in college? Couldn’t a “good” NFL coach figure out how to make a college offense actually work in the NFL.

If all the QBs coming out are used to playing a college style offense, then why don’t NFL coaches play an upgraded version of a college style offense?

Here are some things I’d like to see that even the five series didn’t quite stick the landing on:

Awww. You made me realize that we won’t have Majel Roddenberry’s voice for the computer in the new show... Now I’m sad.

Actually I want a series in the main universe post DS-9 and Voyager , the events of the Abrams- vers can be ignored {no one ever said it was the main Star trek universe that saw the destruction of Romulus }

Doctor Who also leans heavily on the inexplicable and super alien species or entities, while Star Trek has planet after planet of people that are basically the same as humans.

Well, everyone but the US is getting a new Trek TV show. We’re getting a tv episode and then the rest is behind a paywall online (with ads). What I would like to see is that CBS realizes this bullshit, and the US gets to have the new Trek as a tv show as well.

Depends. It’s like when little kids cry. Genuinely sad cry? I feel bad. Trying to whip up a batch of tears and manipulate me? Go fly a kite. If your day has gone to shit, and you’re trying not to cry I’m sympathetic. If you’re trying to cry because it’s always gotten people to bend to your will before. You’re getting…

The airline I worked for gave us a fair amount of leeway in our ability to make things right for people.

Yeah, pre-9/11 doesn’t count. Pre-9/11 flying was like catching a bus. You could pretty much get on the flight as long as it hadn’t pulled out of the gate and security was about the same as riding a bus. I actually was on a pre-9/11 flight where they held it for a few minutes waiting on a couple that was just getting…
