--- Quote from: ssǝupɐW ɟo poɥʇǝW on 30 Apr 2015, 17:25 ---When has there been any indication that Veronica ever hit Marten? Sure, she spanked people, but only people who paid her to.

A professional dominatrix would necessarily take a progressive attitude toward child rearing. But I'm anxious about that "coat rack" that Marten hates so much.
I'm also wondering how Sam was able to access Veronica's underwear drawer. It would make some sense if she had moved in with Jim, but this is her private apartment, right?

As someone who has dated several women with kids (I would assume it would be similar for a woman dating a father) the kids are part of the package and often a "date" is something that everybody can do together. Since we know that Veronica was introduced to Sam very early on in her relationship with Jim it can be inferred that Jim feels comfortable with Sam interacting with Veronica. Additionally I don't think anyone could keep Sam from going where she wants to go.

This conjured up an amusing little scene in my mind of someone telling me to just stop being depressed, and me responding "Wait-wait-wait, you mean I can just stop?!? [long pause] Well, sh-t. Why didn't anyone ever tell ME that?"
Well, it amused me, anyway. 8-)
--- Quote from: Gareth on 01 May 2015, 05:43 ---In fairness, benefit of the doubt to willpell, he may have just meant it as a message of solidarity and encouragement rather than the usual 'bro you should be happy cause you're rich and shit' that so many celebrities get after death.

--- End quote ---
That's exactly how I read it, too, as encouragement rather than, say, nagging. And IICIH's line made me chuckle.

See, if I said this, some of my friends and family would say, "That's right, you can stop being depressed any time you want to. You choose not to because I guess you feel you get something positive out of being depressed. I guess you enjoy being treated like a little immature whining baby that can't clean up after it shits itself. Now straighten up, stop being so selfish, stop trying to manipulate others, get a real job (note: I'm an adjunct professor of music at a college and teach piano privately), and join the rest of us adults in the real world. You have no right to feel bad; there are so many people who have it worse off than you."

My friends have actually helped me with my OCD-related problem of being touched by basically being pricks about it. They know what lines are *not* to be crossed, and avoid those[1] but otherwise perform exposure therapy for free. My trouble with touching basically started in my mid-20s, and the most physically intimate time I have had in the past decade was spent holding hands with a woman I met at the pub, after I refused a snog. My friends actually help by being physical and help me "just get over it". I don't know about Jeph's issues, and it's different for everybody, I know that my depression is harder to deal with, personally, and my bipolar disorder really fucks with me if I skip a dose and I still have episodes. But sometimes, dealing with things is basically being *made* to deal. I still have a fuckload of mental problems, but at least I was able to get off the clonazepam and ambien and use "softer" drugs instead and learn ways to cope with it.
[1] I did have one friend forget about that when I bought her a drink (she was on lunch and didn't have cash) and kissed me on the cheek. I did a sort of Hanners flailing.

Perhaps Sam's sneaking skills have improved even further.

I am happy to have amused you! :)
