I don't love girl scout cookies, but I always buy them because I love seeing young kids taking initiative and learning how to be rewarded for work. It's never about the money for me."The mind is not a boomerang. If you throw it too far it will not come back." ~ Tom McGuane -
Yup - I'm a sucker for any fundraiser if the kid doing the fundraiser has the guts/initiative to ask me. Kids from the ward, nieces, and nephews, and even co-workers' kids. If they'll ask me, I'll buy whatever dumb thing they're selling.Originally posted by Non Sequitur View PostComment

Kids I can live with. It is the adults who are usually in a higher tax bracket than I am and are friends with the wife who decide to hold a fundraising dinner.Originally posted by Eddie View Post“Every player dreams of being a Yankee, and if they don’t it’s because they never got the chance.” Aroldis ChapmanComment

If I don't know them, I don't buy anything. I don't give out money to pan handlers in the US either, though I have given them something to eat.Originally posted by Clark Addison View PostComment

Can you give me your wife's email or phone number? The non-profit where I work will be holding a fundraiser in September, and your wife sounds like exactly the kind of person I need to get an invite to.Originally posted by Copelius View PostComment

Yeah - the kids who tell me I need to buy magazine subscriptions so that they can take a trip to Europe usually don't leave my doorstep all that successful in their sales endeavors.Originally posted by Clark Addison View PostComment

I was lying. I actually don't open my door to people who ring the bell, as several missionaries can attest.Comment

Nope. I am tapped out for the year. Don't get me wrong, I do not mind giving to charitable causes. I just prefer to pick my own than have people pick them for me.Originally posted by Eddie View Post“Every player dreams of being a Yankee, and if they don’t it’s because they never got the chance.” Aroldis ChapmanComment
