Dave Update

Met with an Orthopedic Surgeon today.  Dave needs surgery on his knee, but we will be getting a 2nd opinion.  Dave isn't real comfortable with this Dr, and we spoke with two friends this afternoon who actually had him as their surgeon and were not at all happy.  In the mean time, Dave is hobbling around with a brace, taking some good drugs, and getting over bronchitis.

Thanks for all of your well wishes.  We will keep you posted. 

Girl Scout Cookies

Have you tried the 'new' Mango Creme Girl Scout Cookies?  The description sounds absolutely yummy:
MANGO CREMES
with nutrifusion (??? - see below)
Vanilla and coconut cookies filled with a tangy mango flavored creme enhanced with the nutrients found in fruits.

I think these are the worst Girl Scout cookies ever!!!
Tasted like weird cucumbers!!!
With their love of sweets, even Dave wouldn't eat them, and Tim didn't like them. 

I had never heard of 'nutrifusion' so found the website and here is about all it said:

Imagine…an all-natural, nutritional additive that…               
  • Is 100% from fruits & vegetables.
  • Can provide the nutrient-rich benefits of fruits & vegetables in everyday food products.
  • Is easily understood - little consumer education needed.
  • Offers high bio-absorption…the phytonutrients are readily absorbed unlike many synthetic vitamins and minerals.
What would you call this all-natural nutritional-rich food additive?...
NutriFusion™NutriFusion™ is by far, the emerging leader in both the rapidly growing food science and nutritional supplement categories. This all-natural blend of whole food concentrations will enable more people of all ages, young adults and children to consume vital nutrients more regularly and more conveniently.

SOUNDS KIND OF SCARY IF YOU ASK ME. 

I miss the good ole days, where there were actually more than a few cookies in the boxes, and they were all good.  Changing things up is not always a good thing.  The Girl Scouts have been around for ages, their cookies don't have to change every year.  The consistency is something we could always count on, with cookies, uniforms (hence the name - uniform!), etc.  Now you can see a troop with so many different uniforms you don't even know that they are all girl scouts, let alone from the same troop.  

OK, I am officially old.
