It's just a figure of speech. Would you prefer "I'll miss you all like an institutionalized person misses freedom"? ....which is one of the suggested replacements for 'like the dickens'. Or maybe 'like a shoe misses its laces'? Regardless, yes- I will miss you. I have no ticket. I'm about 75% sure that I'm not leaving on the 29th. And I'm 60% okay with that. Oh, Tami.

Regardless, yes- I will miss you.

I have no ticket. I’m about 75% sure that I’m not leaving on the 29th. And I’m 60% okay with that.

Aw. That's sweet. You'll miss me like the dickens? The dickens? Do you know what that means? "Dickens is a euphemism for the word devil, possibly via devilkins. Shakespeare used it in 'the Merry Wives of Windsor: 'I cannot tell what the dickens his name is my husband had him of." Je ne comprends pas. Je vais te manquer comme l'enfer te manque. Explique s'il te plait. J'aime bien le nouveau site. Meme si je parle l'anglais, je vais t'ecrire en francais...ca te ferait du bien, j'imagine. Pourquoi dis tu que tu vas partir le 29? T'as un ticket? Ca m'etonnerait que tu partes en septembre. You will miss me? Aw. That’s sweet. You’ll miss me like the dickens? The dickens? Do you know what that means?
