I lost my post because of accidently pressing the wrong key.  I'd written about a bad domestic situation, pluots, geese and Hooky Jack's.  I will attempt to recreate that:

What do you do when you are threatened by your ex-boyfriend but don't feel like you can trust anyone to help?  a co-worker is going through that, and it's tearing me up as well (part of my ability to relate to others and take their problems as my own).  I know what I'd do in the situation (or at least think I'd do): throw all his stuff in a box on the curb (if I were in a good enough mood) and call the police if necessary- surounding myself with people who can help/protect.  She has a son, and is a great, loving person- why won't he just leave her alone and respect her wishes?  Why is she allowing him to get away with this?  She wants it to stop, and is going about that by trying to do nothing to get him angrier...

Pluots (plum-apricot hybrid) are very refreshing and one of my favorite fruit.  If you haven't tried one, I'd say, "Go for it!" or at least some other fruit you haven't- it's one of nature's naturally hydrating/cooling devices.  That, and sweat.

---Amber (unless you're a penguin, and you call wings 'hands.')  She also mistook ducks for goslings.  I think it's so hilarious, 'cause normally I'm the one confusing things- it's a nice change of pace.  I'll start jotting down quotable moments for myself as well.

Hooky Jack's is the place to eat if you're in the Black Hills.  It's in Rapid City, about 45 min north of Mt. Rushmore.  They have specials like $5 pizzas on Mondays, and other fun things, like karaoke (I wasn't old enough at the time, but I heard it was fun).  They make their dough fresh every day, which also tastes great in the form of a bread bowl salad.  If I lived near there or Hooky Jack's was near me, I'd go regularly.  I also thought it was cool that if your local sports team (even little league) was on cable or something like that, they'd put it on the big screen.  What a cool thing!
