A quick definition of retention:

Retention is a legal term that means a person has the right to keep something until they are paid for it or until their claim against it is satisfied. It's like a security deposit. For example, if you borrow your friend's bike and you damage it, your friend has the right to keep the bike until you pay for the repairs. Retention can also refer to a person's right to keep all of someone's property as security for a debt, or to keep property owned by someone else until they are reimbursed for expenses related to that property's care and maintenance.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Retention is a legal term used in Scots law to describe a possessor's right to keep a movable until their claim against the movable or its owner is satisfied. This is also known as a lien. There are two types of retention: general retention and special retention.

General retention is a possessor's right to keep all property owned by a debtor as security for the debt.

If a person owes money to a creditor, the creditor may have the right to keep all of the debtor's property until the debt is paid off. This means that the debtor cannot sell or dispose of their property until the debt is settled.

Special retention is a possessor's right to keep property owned by another until reimbursed for expenditures on the property for its repair or for its care and maintenance.

If a person owns a car and leaves it with a mechanic for repairs, the mechanic may have the right to keep the car until they are paid for the repairs. This means that the owner cannot take the car back until they have paid the mechanic for their services.

These examples illustrate how retention works in Scots law. It allows a possessor to hold onto property until their claim is satisfied, whether it be for a debt owed or for expenses incurred on the property.

Feeling like sad drinking tonight, wife accidentally tossed out my truck keys and those are expensive as fuck to replace. The crappiest part is that the key chain had the "remove before flight" tab from my first aircraft's rocket pods overseas from 6 years ago. Then find out people fucked around and back dated reports at work making me look like a shit bag so I am working later tonight and missing range time which is my weekly relax/me time. Add in my sleep meds stopped working, so I am thinking vodka (so I stay skinny and hot) and pizza by the fireplace kind of friday.

Question, how many of u would sleep on first date

babycat
14:57

babycat
14:59

babycat
14:59
it
babycat
15:00
but I don’t use dating apps so all my first dates are with people I’ve already met in some context, which it sounds like is your situation too
Dkk

I could never imagine myself doing that on a first date.
Dkk
15:01
@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: hope things get better
babycat

@Dkk: what if it’s someone you’ve known for a long time but never dated?
Dkk
15:03
Maybe but things would have to go like perfectly. I could not imagine them going perfectly.
15:04
Sleeping on the first date just isn't my style, idk. I take things painfully slowly and much prefer to befriend and really get to know a girl first before doing any of that
Ok another question, what do u tell the ppl u sleeping with already that ur going on dates
Dkk
15:05
The bigger issue is if I sleep with them will I have the emotional connection to finish cus it is harder for me to finish if I do not know the person.

@Rightfullytherlauren: If the person is clean or has a good vibe I will do it the first date
15:06
Yeah sorry I can't answer that Lauren, I don't sleep with anyone if I'm not already dating them
Dkk

@Rightfullytherlauren: This is like a stupid thing that only really hot guys and women have to think about. I have never had to think about this before. No answer.

@bigroger100: No idea. Probably when they released last year unless they were supposed to release already.

@Rightfullytherlauren: I am apparently a hot guy or just a slut cause I have had this before. If it is a FWB then you gotta follow the rules on that like wrapping your tool and such but if it is a casual fuck/bootie call they do not need to know if you are trying to find love and what you are doing when you are busy
