My daughter texted me after I visited her across the country last week. Her text made me feel like I won the parenting lottery, especially after her somewhat traumatic/dramatic teen years.

You have a lucky mom, and your mom has a lucky child!

You can, it just takes decades of work. But it is SO worth it.

I'm a freelance writer, and $10-$15 is low, especially for a writer who provides well-researched, grammatically correct and relevant copy. The problem is that there are so many people who want to write for a living that they are willing to work for peanuts, or worse, for free, dragging rates down for other writers who are trying to become established.

My blog is called 26 Challenges, and I started it to shake up my life *raise money for charity *write more *BUT** even though I am proud of myself for learning WordPress from scratch over the last year of so, I don't have all the technical knowledge I need. I have to figure out how to get some kind of a pledge page going, but Ohmygoodness I'm not there yet. I've started on the challenges and my first big event challenge is starting tomorrow. Yikes. A little scared.

Well, when I first saw the video yesterday, it only had about 100 views. Now it's well over 8,000, so we're having some kind of an effect! I hope everyone reposts it to FB or wherever, and gets the mean Girl Scout completely out of the picture and only have the awesome Girl Scout around to represent.

See link above from nickyacullo. At the bottom of the page you can view the boycott video.

Yes! Thank you!

Been trying to find it, but it has been made private because of the groundswell of indignation against it.

Unfortunately, since this afternoon, the original "Boycott Girl Scout Cookie" video has been made private. Basically, the girl in the first video wanted to create a national boycott of the Girl Scout Cookie sale because the Girl Scouts were willing to allow a transgender child into their organization willingly. That was apparently not something that was approved by the girl in the "boycott" video, and there was a lot of backlash that was covered, including by Mashable which is where I first saw it.

That is so sad but true!!

Unfortunately, you can't see the video there, either. It's still listed as "private."

Ok, now THAT'S funny.

Exactly! I know a lot of people that thought the GS was like the Boy Scouts, but it's just not the case. The girl Taylor who posted the original video proposing the boycott should join a more close minded organization, since that's how she is. Any suggestions for her?

Uh, so I guess that means the link I posted was the first (and only) place I found it. That's as original as I know it to be.

So if anyone has a mirror copy of that video or knows how to get it, that would be cool to put it in context.

I found it on the youtube replies to the original video from the girl who made the cookie boycott video, but I got to that through Mashable, who did a story on the boycott video. Unfortunately, since this afternoon, it looks like the cookie boycott girl removed the video or made it private.

And also I hope the amazing Girl Scout gets a TON of views!

Ok, cool and thanks for the tip. I already x-posted to video, but I'll do it!
