its an electronic organizer that you can also check your email on...as well as go on the internet, use it as a cell phone, play games, etc. her office issued it to her becaus she got a promotion

HA! Sucks for you.

My uncle's birthday was recently, and my cousins and I (six and eleven years old, I think) made him a cake. We asked my aunt what we should put on it, and she said "a Blackberry." So somewhere out there there are pictures of a cake I made with a Blackberry on it.

If your mom needs instructions, I bet I could scan my uncle's on.

If she's anything like my mom, reading them or not is irrelevant. She won't bother to try to understand what it's saying anyway.

I used to pick blackberries in the summer. They tended to grow alongside the irrigation ditch on the side streets in my hometown. My best advice to her would be:

1. Be careful to avoid the prickly vines. Ouch.
2. Don't pick blackberries immediately before you need to do something where you'll want to look nice. Your hands will get messy, and so will your mouth (because you can't pick blackberries without eating some).
3. Take a container to bring some home. Inevitably, you'll be done eating blackberries but know that you'll want some later - say, to put on ice cream. You'll be glad for the container when you don't have to choose between not taking berries home and messing up your favorite shirt to make an impromptu bowl.
