Jen, you fail surreptitious Burglary 101.
(I really didn't have time to go get new glass and repair the window. I had to be on the road within hours, hadn't finished packing, and wasn't even dressed, for crying out loud. I had to be creative.)
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Oh, god, I'd be a horrible burglar. My nephew, on the other hand (fine, upstanding citizen that he is), taught himself how to pick locks. He said to his mother recently, "You're lucky I didn't turn to the dark side." So say we all.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I got locked into my dorm room in college once, after a party.
I couldn't get anyone to come open the door, so I climbed out of my window, onto the roof, and into the hallway window of the dorm next door.
ION, I'm sitting out on my balconey, with a breeze, a beer, and my wirelessly connected laptop. It's not as good as Maine, especially with the total lack of Theodosia and Nora and Tom, but it's still pretty nice.

My beer and balcony killed the thread. I'm sorry.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Me: There appears to be no such word as "tricile".
Amych: Tier. (no, seriously.)
Thanks. How long ago did the change in definition take place? Even my Websters unabridged lists no definition closer to this than something along the line of "divide in ranks or rows". Probably should have gone with the Oxford...
Ah but the word "Tierce" under it does list this as one of the meanings. Probably Oxford would explain how this was originally "Tier".

In the biomedical sciences it is common to refer to a division into thirds as terciles: the lower tercile, the middle tercile, and the upper tercile.
But the OED has never heard of the term.
Curious.

Ooh. I think I found my happy-housewarming-to-me present. A nifty salon near the new place offers a crazy bulk discount on massage - $360 for 500 minutes. So basically ten massages for $36 each. And I 'spose I might as well throw the money around while I can, since that's gonna change soon enough.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My beer and balcony killed the thread. I'm sorry.It died of jealousy. I hope you are happy now.

How many Buffistas do we have in the mid-Atlantic states? There are some in DC, I know --how about Virginia or North Carolina?
