--- Quote from: Penquin47 on 21 Jan 2015, 19:49 ---My old beagle, I don't feel bad about putting down at all. When we pulled the injection, the dog had been diabetic and blind for over a year. Three days before, he had a stroke that left him in a state where we had to guide him to his supper bowl because he could not find it on his own. Sure, it sucks that I lost a dog I loved, but I honestly believe that the stroke killed the dog and all we had put down was the empty shell. Call me creepy all you want, but I have never felt guilt about making the call to put him down.

--- Quote from: Method of Madness on 21 Jan 2015, 20:01 ---Agreed. I would've felt bad if I weren't in the room with him, but I'll never feel guilty about putting my old dog down a few years ago. That's not to say it wasn't difficult, and I certainly was sad, but never guilty.

Are you saying you didn't feel bad? I never required guilt. I just said there's nothing wrong, or pathological about guilt itself. That Guilt is Healthy in those circumstances. Broccoli is healthy too, but if you don't eat it, it doesn't mean your sick. Did you declare that you weren't going to feel bad about? Cuz I gotta stick to my guns on that one. That's a bit of creepy thing to do after your dog dies.
If you didn't feel bad, um... Okay. I'm not getting the impression that that's the message, so I don't see the point. Care to elucidate?

--- Quote from: sluthy on 21 Jan 2015, 20:19 ---I doubt we'll see anyone else move in or Faye move out permanently. I suspect Veronica will be most likely to chip in with the rent until Faye gets back on her feet. She's the most well-off of the cast (other than Hanners), she's openly scoffed at the cost of rent in the area and she'd be helping out her son.

Veronica as a temporary roommate for Marten? It's sounds so painful and yet I eagerly want to see it.
Neko_Ali:
I believe they meant Veronica covering Faye's half of the rent, not moving in. That's something neither of them would want to do.

I understood that, I was just thinking of the possible scenario. Veronica seems eager to be involved in Marten's life, but I doubt he would ever agree to let her actually move in.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 19 Jan 2015, 01:16 ---April would be able to confirm this, but I believe that the previous week, in-comic, has lasted three or four months IRL. Of course, I'm sure we've all had weeks where so much has happened that it has ended up feeling like three or four months! :-P

It's worse than that! A week ago in comic time, Veronica signed a lease in Northhampton, May was job-hunting, and Marten went hiking with Emily and Sam. In real time, those strips ran from June 4th to July 1st. So the time dilation factor is currently on the order of 1 day comic time ≈ 30 days real time.
