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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

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.

It died of jealousy. I hope you are happy now.
