The individual troops get 95 cents per box. Source: Am related to a troop leader. 

The girl scouts as an organization may get 65% of each box, but the actual troops get a far smaller cut. The local council takes most of that 65-75%. In our area, the troop gets 95 cents per box sold. If you hit “incentives” (sell enough boxes) your troop gets $1.05 per box. That’s it. And that sucks. So yeah, give…

This. The actual troops make very little from the sale of each box. It does far more good to give $20 cash than it does to buy 5 boxes. I always buy a few boxes from my niece or my friends’ kids, but then I also donate cash directly to their troops.

My sister was going to buy her kids’ teachers mugs for Christmas, and I, being a teacher told her absolutely not. Teachers get a zillion mugs from students, and honestly most of us already have one we like. What did I want as a teacher? Amazon and Target gift cards. Help me defray some of the several hundred dollars…

But pretty much any double-walled insulated cup/bottle will do that. TJ Maxx has scads of the things for like $8. 

But the biscuits are Oh. My. God. Good. The chicken is fine, but the biscuits are outstanding. I could eat them by the dozen. 

I was actually in London for a conference not far from this building when this happened. I saw the story and on a break from the conference, I walked over to that building. It was so much hotter, I couldn’t believe it. It was really trippy to walk a couple of yards and feel the temperature change that much. 

In theory, it’s understandable that Keoghan might shy away from filming such a display...and then you see it. Firstly, I’ve seen professional nude models pose with more insecurity than Keoghan. Not only does he sell, well, naked insanity better than most, he has one, very impressive reason to be confident. Actually,…

Courtesy of Page Six, it’s Viktor Knavs, Melania’s father. Which perhaps explains why he’s weirdly separate from the Trumps in the photo. 

Apparently it’s Viktor Knavs, Melania’s father. 

They all look like they could be shopped in. It’s such a weird composition. 

So many questions:

Oh, I like this one very much. 

That’s the real kicker for me. Like, Ethiopia is the literal birthplace of coffee. And in West Africa, the espresso made from beans grown on the Ivory Coast is insane. 

It had been a couple of weeks since we had a pointless Olive Garden advertorial. Guess Darden sent another check.

I’m on board. 

If this doesn’t get blocked by the government on the grounds of creating a monopoly, then we should just burn our entire system of government to the ground because it is fucking useless. 

On the other hand, putting a male president front and center, giving a robust defense of women’s rights sends a powerful message to men about their need to step up and be allies. By making it just Kamala, you risk the perception that you’re “sending the girl to deal with girl things.” Men tune that shit out in .2…

The key demographic is older male consumers ages 45 to 54, who typically have higher incomes ($100k and up), and they account for almost 60% of breakfast sales despite only being 20% of the U.S. shopping public. This core group, Circana says, spends five times as much on breakfast as the average consumer.

I don’t hate coconut, but I am much more interested in just the bundt cake with the cream cheese frosting. Gimme. I want it.
