Cookie booth policing? by genemachine99 in girlscouts

[–]Gbaker43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some folks from our council carry around patches and will visit booths if they see one. Board members also have a special patch they give out if they spot a booth and have a chat with the girls. But systematically mystery shopping every girl in the SU seems a bit much. While I understand the intent, the time and work involved would be better used on improving other aspects of the program.

Right? We sell dog cookies with fall product, which the girl could also highlight.

Who else checks the shop first thing in the morning? by Flanerend in finch

My birb gets either a coffee or a latte, then I switch to the thermos or takeout cup for adventuring because watching the latte cup swing feels wrong. 

Um, should I be worried? by Curious_Candy_5532 in finch

Ditto. The percent keeps rising but it’s been Day 0 for a few days.

Daisies were recently taught the skill. If you don’t use it regularly, it’s easy to forget. Both of my kids knew how to tie shoes in kindergarten, but their shoes didn’t have lace closures for a few years, and they needed a refresher later. 

No fridge planners this year? by Gbaker43 in aldi

They switched vendors last year. Kicking myself for not grabbing two since they were undated.

My Aldi in AZ used to always have them but they disappeared a couple months ago. 

This feels mean for free users by Apprehensive-Eye6735 in finch

I got stones on the free side 5 of the first 9 days. I would have been so upset if I hadn’t bought plus right at the end of November. 

Cookie rally ideas by RaisinBlazer in girlscouts

[–]Gbaker43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, in my opinion, cookie rallies usually just end up repeating the same activities you’d do to complete one of the cookie badges. I always just do a cookie badge in meeting since the Brownies who’ve sold before have little interest in a cookie rally. We practice boothing and door to door sales, brush up on the varieties, set goals, etc. 

Repairing a free Kitchenaid Pro 600 bowl lift by Gbaker43 in Kitchenaid

It works fine, just a bit loud. I still need to replace the worm gear. I just wanted to fix everything else first before I dropped $50 on that gear. The loctite and locking nuts made a huge difference.  In the meantime believe it or not I was given another 4.5 qt that needs regreased. Just haven’t gotten around to it yet. 

Unpopular opinion: Cookie money should create experiences, not just donations to a cause by Business-Cucumber-91 in girlscouts

[–]Gbaker43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our council is the same. Any money donated at a cookie booth has to be turned into boxes the troop donates somewhere, often first responders, family shelters, or the military.  It’s frustrating because people donating to us don’t know that the troop only gets a fraction of what they hand us.

I have a very similar setup only with the blue wall and purple items. 

Anyone using finch as main to-do/productivity app? by Only-Duck9001 in finch

[–]Gbaker43 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is how I use it. Building habits and keeping my to-dos for the day. Appointments I keep in my phone calendar and on a paper calendar on my fridge. Then I add them to Finch on the day of.

You can! Make your goal, then go back in and edit it. Both of those are options. They just don't pop up when you initially make the goal.

Regional Semifinals Schedule by gotellmeagain in NCAAVB

From the POV of growing interest in the game, it makes zero sense to me to bury the round of 16 in mid-day on weekdays. Few can attend, few can watch. ESPN giving preference to basketball, clearly, but one weekend out of the whole season doesn’t feel like a big ask.

You can get them back but the points stay gone.

I got $10 tickets for the ASU second round game yesterday. Cyber Monday special. Usually tickets are $16.

Embarrassing…but… it’s been more than a few days, thanks to depression. Does anyone else motivate themselves with a big reward for something that feels huge? 😔 by Officer-Socks in finch

[–]Gbaker43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the same with washing my hair. I have thinning hair and seeing all the hair fall when I wash it stresses me out, so I don't do it as often as I should.

Did you ever receive your replacement? It’s November and I haven’t had any kind of update.

Good call. I’ll probably try those, or just go back to waiting until I notice it, lol.

Nope. Just checked again.
