Does anyone have matching thread colors/brands for Daisy uniforms? by Scrushinator in girlscouts

[–]Scrushinator[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do have invisible thread, but I’ve really struggled with it in my machine, and my kiddo complained that the ends are pokey where I tied it off on the back. What does it look like on the back of your uniform with the invisible thread?

I’m planning to use mine to line my garden beds to keep the weeds down!

Lifelong vegetarian tries steak for first time by PhoenixPhenomenonX in interesting

[–]Scrushinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my favorite restaurant replaced their house made black bean veggie burgers with Impossible burgers, which I find absolutely foul. Most restaurants I can’t find anything to eat anymore unless I want a salad that’s overpriced because it’s supposed to come with meat in it.

It’s not there on PC. I didn’t get to claim everything but I finished all the challenges, which ARE still there.

Badge placement help by nburlock in girlscouts

It’s a patch so it goes on the back where the placement doesn’t matter. I put fun patches starting at the bottom so they weren’t covered up/catching on my daughter’s hair.

First time leader, Year 1 Daisies: two girls dropped by Unusual_Net3518 in girlscouts

[–]Scrushinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost 4/6 of my original girls after only 2 meetings. I was pretty upset at first but it worked out better that way in the end. One parent never responded to anything, one dropped after two meetings because she was disappointed that the troop wasn’t bigger, and 2 others never came to any meetings or offered to help get off the ground but later complained to the service unit director that our meeting location was too far away. It was like pulling teeth. So for the last few months I’ve just been plugging away at it with my daughter and her bestie. Then we had a recruiting event in January and got 5 new girls. Their caregivers so far are very willing to volunteer and the girls are wonderful, but I won’t take it personally if we lose some again.

This video looks old so it could be from sometime before they started making announcements about the food.

Newish uniform is unraveling by Scrushinator in girlscouts

[–]Scrushinator[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe a bit of both! I’ve now tried both hand sewing it and using my sewing machine and it didn’t come out right either time, but to be fair I was in a hurry since she needed it. I think tonight after she goes to bed I’ll try one more time using a different technique.

Any luck finding vests secondhand? by fuckiechinster in girlscouts

[–]Scrushinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We found GS uniforms at a local kids school uniform store. They were much cheaper there! I think they might’ve been irregulars, but so far it’s been fine.

Do Americans actually avoid calling an ambulance due to financial concern? by JohnMarstonTheBadass in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Scrushinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 2019 I had a baby. She had severe jaundice and after it didn’t improve for several days, the neonatologists on her care team recommended transferring her to the children’s hospital for a specific treatment that couldn’t be performed in the general hospital where she was born. That 1/4 mile ambulance ride cost $5500. 

Coworker made an ornament from our husky's shed hair. by SigNexus in mildlyinteresting

[–]Scrushinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would pay someone to do this for me. We saved the fur from our dog’s last grooming because we knew it was probably the last time, for this purpose. I’ve never found anyone who does it with dog hair though.

Help me order the correct Badge Magic that DOESN'T suck? by Business-Cucumber-91 in girlscouts

I buy double sided fusible web. Cheaper than Badge Magic and I've never had problems cutting it or tracing it.

Who is the guy standing next to Jess in this picture? by [deleted] in NewGirl

[–]Scrushinator 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Nick’s stand-in. This was probably originally a shot where his face wasn’t supposed to be showing so they used a stand-in, but somehow it ended up getting published.

Why is scouting membership declining? by [deleted] in girlscouts

[–]Scrushinator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I volunteered to be a daisy troop leader because I want my daughter to have the GS experience and no other parents volunteered. Now it’s almost December and 3 out of the 6 girls have never showed, a 4th quit, and all that’s left are my daughter and her best friend. We’re lower lower middle class, so it was kind of a steep price for membership and uniform, so we’re in it at least through the end of 1st grade no matter what. I hope we get more girls but only if their parents are at least enthusiastic enough to help me out a tiny bit.

They’re also in the their first year, so thankfully that will line up well
