Keep Your Mitts Off My Thin Mints, MeMe

GO TO HELL MEME. Keep your obsession to yourself.

Ilk is right!

If this woman is obsessed with her OWN weight and her OWN kids.. ok, fine! but go run a triathalon, or chew on a carrot stick or something and let the rest of us ENJOY a few thin mints from the girl scouts! She sounds like a maniac...

I believe in moderation in everything. I'm a size 4, have 16% body fat but I indulge in cookies and ice cream from time to time, just not every day. MeMe needs to get a life and stay out of everyone else's.

Obesity linked to gut bacteria

"WAS" a mom from Millburn NJ ?

Did her husband and kids all run away ?

Boycott Girl Scout cookies? Because some overprivileged b*&%h from Millburn with too much time on her hands thinks cookies will make her fat? I'd rather gain 20 pounds first, thank you very much.

Sounds to me like Ms. Roth may have some food issues of her own. Perhaps she should try learning the meaning of words like self-control and moderation before preaching to others about the evils of cookies. Personally, I'll keep ordering, and eating, cookies from my local girl scouts - in moderation, of course. I may not be the thinnest girl on the block, but I'm healthy and happy with my figure - and shouldn't that be what matters, Meme? Disagree? Well, then go on teaching your children that the world will hate them if they aren't thin. Hope that works out for you. But maybe you ought to keep the name of a doctor who specializes in eating disorders handy, just in case.

Long Live Girl Scout Cookies.

I agree with “Zaftig and proud of it”.
Obsess about what you eat and leave me the one vice I have left !

Girl Scout Cookies? Sounds like the suburban social x-ray from Millburn was only looking for a target which would bring her some press.

Gotta give her credit. It worked.

She's a publicist hack by training , what else would you expect?

"Did her husband and kids all run away ?"

If they had any sense, they did.

Considering that a recent study found that animals grown for food put out far more green house gasses than ALL the world's transportation systems, you ain't seen nothing yet.

I'd eat all the burgers you can...it's only a matter of time.

I've eaten 3 and a half boxes of GS cookies in the past 2 months, all by myself. I also eat ice cream almost every night (*gasp*). I work full time, I'm active, I play sports.... and, whoopee, I can still fit into my size 2. Oh, and my cardiologist said I have one of the healthiest looking hearts she's ever seen. If Meme threatens the best cookies on the planet, I will personally run over to Millburn and kick her scrawny bird-food eating arse.

Speaking of "She's a..hack by training"

All the "stars" have aligned, BClinton Dowdy, NYTimes, Gefen Hollywud, Licoln Bed room, BClinton, Pant Suit and Obana. oh yeah forgot the biggest hack Wolfson.

It's getting ugly migggggggggggggghty quickly. Pass the milk.

UPDATE: Maureen Dowd Column Incites Hillary-Obama War of Words

By E&P Staff

Published: February 21, 2007 10:40 AM ET
NEW YORK Maureen Dowd's column in The New York Times today, in which she quoted former Bill Clinton supporter David Geffen offering a few caustic comments, has incited a strong Hillary Clinton campaign attack on Geffen -- and the candidate he now favors, Sen. Barack Obama.

Then Obama's team fired back.

"Everybody in politics lies, but they [the Clintons] do it with such ease, it’s troubling,” Geffen had said.

Clinton campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson released the following statement this morning: "While Senator Obama was denouncing slash and burn politics yesterday, his campaign's finance chair was viciously and personally attacking Senator Clinton and her husband.

"If Senator Obama is indeed sincere about his repeated claims to change the tone of our politics, he should immediately denounce these remarks, remove Mr. Geffen from his campaign and return his money.

"While Democrats should engage in a vigorous debate on the issues, there is no place in our party or our politics for the kind of personal insults made by Senator Obama's principal fundraiser."

Obama's team responded a few hours later. Communications director Robert Gibbs just released the following statement:

“We aren’t going to get in the middle of a disagreement between the Clintons and someone who was once one of their biggest supporters. It is ironic that the Clintons had no problem with David Geffen when was raising them $18 million and sleeping at their invitation in the Lincoln bedroom. It is also ironic that Senator Clinton lavished praise on Monday and is fully willing to accept today the support of South Carolina State Sen. Robert Ford, who said if Barack Obama were to win the nomination, he would drag down the rest of the Democratic Party because he's black."

Geffen protested to Arianna Huffington today that he has no role in the Obama campaign beyond co-sponsoring his giant Hollywood fundraising event this week.

Among other things, Hollywood and music mogul Geffen had told Dowd, "God knows, is there anybody more ambitious than Hillary Clinton?" and "Obama is inspirational, and he’s not from the Bush royal family or the Clinton royal family. Americans are dying every day in Iraq. And I’m tired of hearing James Carville on television.”

More from Dowd:

-- "I don’t think anybody believes that in the last six years, all of a sudden Bill Clinton has become a different person,” Mr. Geffen says, adding that if Republicans are digging up dirt, they’ll wait until Hillary’s the nominee to use it. “I think they believe she’s the easiest to defeat.”

-- She is overproduced and overscripted. “It’s not a very big thing to say, ‘I made a mistake’ on the war, and typical of Hillary Clinton that she can’t,” Mr. Geffen says. “She’s so advised by so many smart advisers who are covering every base. I think that America was better served when the candidates were chosen in smoke-filled rooms.”

-- Once, David Geffen and Bill Clinton were tight as ticks. Mr. Geffen helped raise some $18 million for Bill and slept in the Lincoln Bedroom twice. Bill chilled at Chateau Geffen. Now, the Dreamworks co-chairman calls the former president “a reckless guy” who “gave his enemies a lot of ammunition to hurt him and to distract the country.”

-- They fell out in 2000, when Mr. Clinton gave a pardon to Marc Rich after rebuffing Mr. Geffen’s request for one for Leonard Peltier. “Marc Rich getting pardoned? An oil-profiteer expatriate who left the country rather than pay taxes or face justice?” Mr. Geffen says. “Yet another time when the Clintons were unwilling to stand for the things that they genuinely believe in. Everybody in politics lies, but they do it with such ease, it’s troubling.”

... so i'll weigh in on Meme first. She is some kind of crazy and i'm glad I don't have to deal with her on a daily basis. >shudder

Now for the real reason for my post:

Can anyone recommend a good (reasonable, local) electrician who doesn't mind small jobs? Baristaville area. Thanks, all.

Gee, thanks for posting gibberish along with an entire article that has absolutely nothing to do with the thread.

Shouldn't you be in remedial writing class or something?

This week Ms. Roth called for a boycott of Girl Scout cookies and suggested that the organization come up with a five-year plan to move away from high-calorie morsels as its primary fund-raiser.

Last time I checked, buying Girl Scout cookies was optional, right? Choice is good, right? This is America, right?

I vote to ship Ms. Roth to the nearest socialist country where I'm sure she'll be happier with their culinary edict.

Can't she just call the Glen Ridge Police Department to monitor her kitchen for obesity violations?

Screw nutrition labels and education to form good eating habits and decisions! I don't need to change ... the world needs to change around my needs! Lets just go after all the companies that produce "bad foods" and run them out of business! Yeah!

Did you know that eating a diet soley of fruits, vegetables, and roast chicken will cause cancer? This message is brought you by the Council for a Reasonable and Rational Balanced Diet and the Moderation of all Foods.

"Did you know that eating a diet soley of fruits, vegetables, and roast chicken will cause cancer?"

Maybe not...but it definitely will cause insanity.

Long live Thin Mints.

Does Miss too thin mint have any ideas what the Girl scouts should replace the cookies with? Somehow the idea of buying Girlscout carrots or tofu just doesn't sound too appealing.

Well my input is that there are thousands and thousands of items on the maret from doeses and doses of sweets to drugs on our streets. No one has to buy them if it's against their wishes, but if they want it it's there as desied. Mint MoM you got bad breath, try having some mint cookies to kill your bad odor.
Slider You Stink!

Where do these people find the time and energy to exert on ridiculous issues such as that of bothering an inncent organization. Please get a life you le miserable. Mind your own fat cells, and medicate your obsession.

For the second time in less than a week, Britney Spears entered a rehab facility and then checked out a day later. According to reports, the pop princess checked into Promises rehabilitation center in California yesterday and, as of this morning, was out again.
Britney Spears enters and leaves rehab again
BY: Actress Archives   |   Wednesday, February 21, 2007

The New York Daily News reports that Britney Spears has done it again. The "Toxic" singer was reported to have entered a rehab facility in California yesterday, but, much like her reported stay in an Antigua rehab facility, Britney Spears left the center after less than 24 hours. Britney allegedly called a car service to the Promises rehabilitation center and left the facility early this morning.

According to OK! magazine, it was a screaming match between Britney and her ex, Kevin Federline, that sent her running to rehab this time. A source tells the magazine, "They had a huge argument. Kevin threatened Britney that he was going to have people test her hair to find out exactly what she's been up to. She was so scared. That was what made her have her head shaved." The singer's friends also revealed that it was due to mounting pressure from Kevin Federline concerning the couple's two children, as well as friends, family and her manger, Larry Rudolph begging the pop princess to get help, that ultimately saw her returning to give rehab another try. As reported just yesterday, Larry Rudolph revealed in a statement to the press, "Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility today. We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time."

MTV reports that the location of the facility in which Britney Spears was staying yesterday was supposed to be a secret, but the paparazzi quickly discovered that it was the Promises rehabilitation center in Malibu. Snapping away with their telephoto lenses, the high flying paparazzi in doorless helicopters got some clear shots of Britney Spears smoking and strolling the grounds, minus the blond wig.

In a related Britney Spears news story, gossip web site, TMZ has learned that the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services has been receiving numerous phone calls from concerned citizens to their 24/7 hotline about Britney Spears. TMZ has been told by sources that the DCFS has received calls on Britney Spears and her children, as well as her recent bizarre behavior.

After trying rehab in the Caribbean for day, then getting tattooed and shaving her head over the weekend, as well as entering and leaving rehab once again today, it's anyone's guess as to what Britney Spears will do next. One thing is for sure; everyone will be watching her very closely for the next little while. The Promises rehabilitation center is situated in the Santa Monica Mountains and a typical stay usually lasts 45 days, with a price tag of between $40,000 and $60,000. Other famous names who have spent time at Promises include: Ben Affleck, Robert Downey Jr., Matthew Perry, and Charlie Sheen.

wonder if she shaved her dosido

Why is that last post here???

Because even the mentally deficient are allowed to use computers.

On the Internet, no one can hear you sound like a retard.

and you talk about cookies

Viva Thin Mints.....directly from the freezer!!!!

I'm gonna triple my order for thin mint cookies to counter Ms. Roth's ridiculous campaign.

Lasermike, is there also a brain bacteria that accounts for muddled socialist thinking?

Perhaps she's upset because the Girl Scouts send adorable youngsters to sell us these treats? It's pretty easy to say no to a knife salesman - a girl scout is a little more difficult, especially when they're offering delicious baked goods. I can understand boycotting the cookies not ONLY because they're fattening, but because they're also somewhat forced upon us when cookie season comes around.

What's up with MEME, iwant to evaluate her. Give me some info on her. age, nationality, mental history, drug abuse, children, loner, recluse, ?

How can we teach children (and, uh, adults) how to make healthy CHOICES if there are no choices to make?

Viva La Samoa!

"Dump your friends who plan to grow fatter with every year. Surround yourself with those who aspire to greater things.”

ps- she lives in Millburn and is "the mother of two young children"

Well! She has valid points, points that apply to maury povich guests, where the children are 2 years old weighing 200 lbs.
However, for her to advocate on behalf of the world is not her place. She obviosly has issues with obesity but that go much deeper than meets the eye. She is quite irritating and rude for imposing on people in the manner to which she does. Her perfectionistic tendencies aren't welcomed in many homes. I encourage eating everything in moderation, as well as excercising. But then again im of a different breed. I LOVE FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Weight is a state of mind, some people are slightly overweight because they are content, and many people are overweight because they are depressed. Perhaps the girl scout cookies are too tempting for her, either way she should mind her own business.

MeMe must be absolute hell to live with. Wonder how the husband copes ?

When I worked in an office, I always found someone who was the parent of a Girl Scouts during cookie season so that I could get a supply of Thin Mints.

No Thin Mints in the Spring? That's like saying no tomatoes in the Summee or Fresh Cider in the Fall.

I don't know much about this woman. Does she mean well or is she just obnoxious?

Where are they selling them?! I need some thin mints!

" don't know much about this woman. Does she mean well or is she just obnoxious?

Posted by: just wondering | February 22, 2007 1:14 AM "

It's a mean-spirited targeting of overweight women.

I don't even know where to start. We all have different philosophies and to some, maintaining a size 2 or 4 isn't the issue. At 5'9" I am a very healthy size 12. Could I be thinner, sure but I'm not fat, I exercise daily along w/my teenage daughters and I am happy with my body--as is my husband. My blood pressure is great and my cholesterol is non-existant. We eat healthy, if I'm honest, 80% of the time. So isn't that really what counts?

TO "NO OPEN THREAD" Stambaugh Electric (Dave) is a great electrician. He will take small jobs and you won't have to take a 2nd mortgage on your home to pay him ; ) Don't have his number handy but I'm sure you can get it from 411. Good luck!

Why is it that we always have to go overboard?
I was a girl scout leader for 9 years and we sold many a thin mint. It taught the girls business skills and much more.
Leave the cookies alone and do something else with your time MeMe!!

My husband Sheldon and I have been promoting our new line of girl scout snack products, and if all goes well they will be replacing the current glut of fattening cookies and cakes that are making all of you pack on those pounds.

Girl Scout Carrot Slices are vacuum-sealed individual slices of beta-kerotine-rich carrot, perfect for lunchboxes and on-the-go professionals.

Girl Scout Celery Stix are a tasty alternative to chocolate-laden cookies!

Sadly, Sheldon was beaten quite badly by a man on the street, so we're holding off on the full sales blitz on these products until he's back at 100%.

More to follow.

This just in,....

K-FED arrives for dingbat custody battle. but court has been cancelled

CAUSE

The BRITSTER re-entered rehab for the third time in 3 days......

Developing....

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- As Britney Spears was reportedly checking out of rehab for the second time in a week Wednesday, her estranged husband was making plans to go to court amid a custody dispute over their two children.

Kevin Federline and his lawyer were scheduled to appear at a downtown courthouse Thursday for an emergency hearing in family law court, Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini told The Associated Press. It was not known what issue Federline planned to raise.

"Our best information is he will be here; she won't," Parachini said. "But anything is possible."

It was not known what Federline intended to ask the court. He sought support and sole custody of Jayden James, 5 months, and Sean Preston, 17 months, after Spears moved to end their two-year marriage in November, but a temporary order issued Feb. 1 granted joint custody through this month.

Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, did not return a call seeking comment.

Federline's lawyer will try to persuade a Superior Court commissioner that the matter is urgent enough to be handled on an expedited basis, Parachini said.

The move comes amid increasingly bizarre behavior by Spears, which culminated with her reportedly checking into and out of two rehab centers and shaving her head bald on Friday.

Spears, 25, left the Promises Malibu Treatment Center on Wednesday, according to "The Insider" TV news magazine, less than a day after arriving. The center specializes in treating drug and alcohol abuse.

Last week she reportedly sought treatment at a center in the Caribbean but also checked out after a day.

Popping in and out of rehab centers is not a smart move for someone involved in a child custody battle, said New York-based family law attorney Joshua Forman, who is not involved in Spears' case.

"That's ridiculous. Wherever you are and whatever your problem is, you go through the program the place offers and you do what they tell you to do," Forman told the AP. "Checking in and out for one day doesn't show the court anything."

Federline's agent, Allison Joyce, said the 28-year-old aspiring rapper and former backup dancer would have no comment.

Spears' behavior of late has included showing up in public in skimpy outfits, sometimes minus her underwear.

Then came what the tabloids have called a meltdown weekend when she arrived at a Los Angeles hair salon on Friday, grabbed an electric razor and shaved her head bald. Afterward, she visited a tattoo parlor, where she had a pair of red-and-pink lips inked onto her wrist. Then she went out clubbing with friends before apparently entering rehab at Promises on Tuesday.

In public again Wednesday, Spears attempted to keep a low profile, but the celebrity Web site TMZ.com posted video of her wearing a wig and leaving what it said was a lawyer's office.

Her agent, Jason Trawick, referred inquiries to her manager, Larry Rudolph, who referred them to Gina Orr, the publicist at Jive Records, Spears' label. Orr did not respond to e-mail and phone messages, and Spears' Web site, where the singer once posted messages directly to fans, was all but blank on Wednesday. A message on its home page simply stated: "Stay tuned! Britney's new Web site is in the works."

As a male may I please be allowed a word in the GS Cokkie problem?

The real problem as I see it is that there are not enough people around who are prepared to accept women for what they are rather than what they eat.
