Now they're having seminars and workshops on cookie selling techniques. It's all about consumerism these days, isn't it? Sure, the money we made from cookies sent us camping and such, but there wasn't that much pressure.

This was of particular interest to me because I'm an adult Girl Scout member. I got the Gold Award (GS equiv of the Eagle Scout), and worked with a troop in college, but it's only $100 for a lifetime membership, and why not? Cookie season starts Jan 17. Damn diet.
