Most of us who were Girl Scouts like to buy GS cookies to support the kids. I’m kind of a thin mint addict so I knew this was danger, but I was feeling bad about just walking by the table. I found out that the Girl Scouts have a program for people like me: I can make a “Gift of Caring” donation, which donates a box of cookies (or however many I buy) to a partner organization serving people in need. Problem solved, and my Day 8 was safe, “8” having nothing to do with eating sugar.
