I did Burbank to LAX once b/c of a fuel emergency during a storm. Shortest and roughest flight ever.

We fed it live mice. Morally, what is the difference between a live mouse, frozen mouse and ground up meat in turtle food? It all started as a live something.

I was with you. We fed mice to the class snake in 3rd grade all the time. Granted dogs have a special emotional place in our hearts (including mine, hurt my dog I hurt you), but on the other hand, the turtle needs to also eat.

True fact, I had a bit of a brain burp and was thinking of my cousins 4H steer and not the full sized monsters. **Correction 2000lbs**

I found her a bit mechanical, tbh. She (and many of the others) didn’t have the flow and dance lines of past skaters (except the fabulous Adam). I blame the new scoring system, it encourages tricks over art :/

how do you even solve this?? A cow is a 400 pound animal!

My more country cousins have always said keep a shotgun loaded with rock salt around. Still hurts like hell, but much harder to explain away at the ER.

It really depends on the district/town/council. We do not carry permits

Someone once had to grab something out of my house for me, and while mine is a giant barker, if you bring him treats he’s your BF. So I told them to open door, through toast in, close door, wait 20 seconds reopen door with more toast.

My own mini horse will grab anything he can see from the ground, so as long as you shove it to the back wall he won’t go for it, even though he could reach everything if he made the effort.

Very true. Each council is its own little nation, making any generalizations is very difficult.

Thats great that your mom made you do it! My council doesn’t do pre-sells at all anymore, so no more order sheets in the office, soccer games, etc. If you want to sell door to door or in the office, you have to load the wagon up when cookies come in.

Only speaking for my council, but we don’t use pre-order sheets anymore precisely for reason like that one. Each council is its own fiefdom though, so the rules can be different in each area.

It still does a pretty good job of teaching you if you get up off your butt you will get more done, as well as targeted extroverted-ness. I’m not sure how good I would be at going up to complete strangers and starting conversations if not for Girl Scouts.

When I was a kid the neighbor kid had a lemonade stand and his mom had free vodka. Kid always did pretty well on the 4th.

Its harder, but its about motivation. I sold 230 when I was 16. It was the year they started gift purchases for the troops and local food kitchens. We cleaned up. (PS, You can cookies to the troops and local food kitchens if you don’t want the calories yourself!)

Approval comes on the council level, so its not illegal from the POV of the town government, its illegal from the POV of Girl Scouts.

It differs from council to council. In ours their is essentially a draft system in place between the troops and the council for spots and times.
