I have no advice, Nora.
Here! Which is where I'm having lunch tomorrow!
Awesome! See you the- oh crap, geography bites me in the ass again.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

I was totally fantasizing the other day about buying msbelle's place.

If it were me in Toms shoes I would say something like - I'm very interested in this position which is why I'm willing to consider an offer that is X less than my current salary. However, in order to maintain my current standard of living, I would like X amount of PTO.
I guess then i would reiterate that you want the job but you need to make sure you wont be going backwards in terms of SoL.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, very nice, Stephanie.

One of my neighbors just asked about it. She would really like to sell hers to buy mine. I just want a buyer like NOW.
Sue - hee! That would be awesome. If the building didn't require buyers to have this as their primary residence it would be a great NYC Buffistas time-share. Set up the main bedroom with 3 single beds or 2 fulls, then a single in mac's room, then a hide-a-bed in the living.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I might mention my family was in England and that is why I need a certain amount of PTO.

I'm totally saving msbelle's for future reference.

Oh yeah, England is good. I guess i also think it's important that if they aren't going to meet you on salary, they demonstrate some flexibility in a other areas.
