However, lemme say this raising money to send him to camp was worth it. He went for the first time last year and he learned so much, Scouts are VERY annoying and time consuming but worth it for your boy. Now he can survive in the wilderness when I kick him outta the car by the side of the raod. Scouts are preperation for teenage years.MaryRChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05885722336155612196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-54701620704876450792009-10-21T14:19:12.485-06:002009-10-21T14:19:12.485-06:00"piss off" such a great expression... lo..."piss off" such a great expression... lol.<br /><br />And if Blake didn't pronounce persistant right whatever he told his parents they probably sighed and agreed with you.<br /><br />Loved it. xxVodka Logichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13870805969416858519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-83054939707445913882009-10-21T10:16:45.114-06:002009-10-21T10:16:45.114-06:00What a little bugger.

But my husband is employed by the Boy Scouts of America (well, with his salary you can barely call it employed, thankfully there are other perks) and the Boy Scouts do rely heavily on popcorn sales to fund alot of things. Yes, they <i>know</i> it is a recession!! As a not for profit organization, they rely alot on donations from people and organizations. In a recession, one of the first cutbacks people make is donations!!! It is a good organization people. They do good things. They give a lot of boys opportunities they wouldn't otherwise have. So buy the cheapest thing you can and feel good about the donation. Please.<br /><br />♥Spot<br /><br />PS- You can choose which boy scout is least annoying to buy from! =]<br /><br />PPS- last year they also added that you can make a $25 dollar donation to Soldiers. This goes for programs that help soldiers families. If you don't want the popcorn, this is a way to donate to two worthy causes.<br /><br />Sorry~ I didn't mean to get on my soapbox.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12761441168024967277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-40458210597739167852009-10-21T06:43:21.346-06:002009-10-21T06:43:21.346-06:00LOL that is too funny!

And in November, Girl Scout's start selling cookies.

Well, I learned that lesson after the second time. (At least one more time than it should have taken me.) But we too want to help them out-- we remember when our kids had to do this stuff.
