> Thrice the brinded cat hath mewed. Thrice, and once the hedge-pig whined. Harpier cries, “'Tis time, ’tis time.”
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake.
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg and owlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Round about the cauldron go,
In the poisoned entrails throw.
Toad, that under cold stone
Days and nights has thirty-one
Sweltered venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i’ th’ charmèd pot.
Jon Purdy's answer is good, but I would like to add that, if you act on the feelings you mention, you might be said to act "out of spite". Also, you behaviour could be construed as "spiteful".
I would be in favor of editing out the leading “Jon Purdy's answer is good, but I would like to add that,”.
I can’t see how it improves the answer, which should stand on its own. If he thinks JP’s answer is good, he should upvote it.
Oh. Well so much for interest or creativity. I like the way only a few people contributed, and then the folks who failed to contribute but insisted on trashing them decided the question was stupid. — Jon Jay Obermark10 hours ago

Yes, I’m being a bit strict on the comment thing, but this is the very sort of comment that degenerates and leads to things that shouldn’t happen.
I think user1598390 got it right. Floor is the closest to what you're looking for. I have also heard the term level used interchangeably with floor.
Storey, as defined by Dictionary.com, shows that both words, floor and level, are acceptable.

Am I completely bonkers in thinking that talking about others answers, particular other users, in an answer just to agree (or disagree) with them is not the best way to answer?
Here's some samples from EL&U, courtesy of mecha Snail:
English:
In people of [[Scandinavia]]n extraction there is a rat plutonium, it will soon die of radiation poisoning. COMMA SPLICE I have been retained in caricatures, especially in the elevator. There is no consensus among the standards bodies, but that's not from inherent offensiveness
> The advantage of sidesplits (and its closely related backsplit) is that it separates bedrooms from living space without the need for a full flight of stairs. It is less land efficient than a two-story house but more efficient than a bungalow.
(from wikipedia)
I have a full basement under the lower side, so it's as land-efficient as a two-story house with no basement
But then I'd need a door to get from the house to the garage, and I figured I could just put the bookcases on that wall (they're currently on the opposite wall)
Maybe, yeah. But some bookends could probably solve that.
Yeah, the door might be heavy to move, even if there is no weight issue. But I'd be okay with leaving the door (to the lego room) open all the time, or closed for an extended period of time.
I think if your shelf was properly installed, it should be okay for books.
You can get those metal bookends that the books sit on to weigh them down, which are nearly invisible from the front; they'd probably hold the books right steady
Having a custom room for the Lego would solve so many of my Lego problems.
Then I explained about breaking the spines on books and he gave me that narrow-eyed look that meant "are you thinking about breaking my spine if I don't pick these up?"
there's been a lot of sass lately, and I'm pretty sure I know exactly where he gets it from.
I asked him if he was done eating his broccoli a couple days ago. He brandished his fork at me and said "Do I look like I'm done eating my broccoli?"
We are planning to renovate our living room/dining room and make our fireplace smaller (it's very very wide), and putting bookcases up around it. That will let us move a lot of books upstairs, freeing up space here in the office.
But I'm sure my wife won't allow me to just replace the smaller bookcases here with the deeper legocases.
So the longer-term solution for the lego remains unknown.
At my current rate of acquisitions I'll run out of storage space by the end of the year.
Yeah seriously, the lego storage wasn't a problem when I had thirty-odd models built and on display on shelves around the apartment. But now that it's all stored, it takes up storage space!
So that's why I am thinking of using the garage. I could split the garage into two spaces: the outdoor junk space, and the lego space. I could put in a wall, some lighting, and ventilation. I could finish the floor. I could put in a large table and some counter space. The large table would be high enough to be ergonomic.
And because a door to the lego room would be unsightly, I propose hiding it behind a swinging bookcase.
Then the problem of the lego clutter becomes an "out of sight, out of mind" issue for her.
My kids will need taller stools to reach the higher table though.
I could do that. But inevitably they want whatever I'm working on on the big table
I'd love to have a table that could raise/lower itself. But that would cost thousands in the size I'm thinking of.
I guess I could make a large table with one section lower than the rest; the kids could use it as their work area but also large multi-level creations could span from one half to the next.
Of course, never mind that he's been dead over a decade.
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 We've tried that. She will initially agree, and then weasel and wiggle around until she decides she can't live without it, or that it would be way more effort than not to clear it off.
I thought I would feel angrier, but now I just feel sad.
My mom is really messed up.
You know, there are plates and bowls in her attic right now that she saved for "us" (= the middle kid, probably) to have for when we moved into our own place.
I can picture what they look like.
She has tons of stuff like that, that she was keeping for us to help us out later, and she never gave it to us, and now we're adults with our own households and children and stuff.
My husband's father would do OK, and so would his father's wife, but neither of them would be interested for more than an afternoon or maybe overnight. Possibly. If it were really necessary.
At least she arranged her new house so he would stay in his room, instead of him always on the living room couch snoring and claiming to watch TV at full volume.
He looks awful. He's lost even more weight and he's incredibly pale.
He can't move well and makes a jumpy "eh-ha" kind of noise every time he walks.
@KitFox Yeah. But in a situation like that, it's common for the victims to stand up for, and protect, their abuser like he never did for them. So it's understandable that they might keep him alive out of helpfulness.
fuck, is a good word for cute.
