That went rather Swiftly over your head

Reading between the lines, you must be reeeeeally good-looking

Funny, almost all the guys I've known like that were raised Catholic.

Like other posters have said, I've heard my share of platonic guys I know spell this out. First-date sex="just sex" category from there on out.

Not sure, but I have a hunch that car guy was in a primary relationship and that particular afternoon, he found himself with a free time window.

I drive a Prius. I know y'all think THAT'S the most embarrassing thing possible but twice I have left the keys in it with the ignition on ALL DAY. Because it's turned itself off and is quiet when I get to work and get out. On the upside, you couldn't do the carbon-monoxide-in-the-garage thing with this car if you…

I volunteer my non-driveway-shoveling neighbor for most embarrassing mistake. Instead of snow, we got an inch of sleet. Our driveways are on a hill, with a busy street at the bottom. I was out shoveling my driveway when he came home in his Mini Cooper and parked at the bottom of his driveway, albeit still on the…

OK, thanks, I concede that I should have said it this way: It is damn near impossible to get someone locked up in a facility for the mentally ill beyond a 72-hour hold, especially if it's against the person's will. This is primarily due to three factors:

How long did they hold her? Was she willing to be held? Or did she want out? If it was against her will, what did it take to get her held for more than 72 hours?

For those who haven't seen "There's Something Wrong with Aunt Diane," it was a horrible wrong-way crash on a New York state freeway, with a bunch of kids in the minivan killed. Before the crash, the kids had called on the cell phone and said "There's something wrong with Aunt Diane!" (the driver) She was…

You tell me where there's a mental hospital a family member can get someone committed and keep them locked up. There's a whole book about the "revolving door" and a father's difficulty getting help (besides jail) for his son, deinstitutionalization and its unintended consequences—and it takes place in Florida.

Hmm maybe that's what was wrong with Aunt Diane.

I think you're right. I'm not sure what I believe about this, but many people think some of today's psychotropic medications exacerbate this kind of freakout.

Talk therapy? For this kind of mental illness? I'm sorry, but you're misinformed about this kind of mental illness and what can be done. I hope you never find out first-hand by having a family member with mental illness. My money is on full-fledged schizophrenia here. Talk therapy doesn't help. They need meds…

What resources? It's damn near impossible, today, to get a mentally ill person to take their meds against their will/stay away from kids/much less get them into a mental hospital and not let out or kicked out on the street. A lot of people don't find out how dismal the situation is until they have a mentally ill…

There are no mental hospitals anymore. Prison has become the default for the seriously mentally ill. Prison or the streets.

"It has long passed for a maxim with many that 'women are only to be seen but not heard.' And accordingly many of them are brought up in such a manner as if they were only designed for agreeable playthings! No, it is the deepest unkindness; it is horrid cruelty; it is mere Turkish barbarity. And I know not how any…

There's something bigger, more powerful, and more relentless than all the liberals in the world acting against the age-old tradition of man being head of household, and that's the fact that upper-body strength is not the premium it once was in securing food and shelter. What it takes to make a living has changed, in…

Good! There's hope on the job front for me!

Threesomes.
