Can Roommate pile up some boxes or something to provide a series of jumps down to the floor? Then set out some food and move back, away from the opening. Seems like Magnolia wants to come down; give her a ladder and some motivation and privacy, and she'll come down.
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
She got her! Magnolia is back in the building. She let N pet her a few times, and N scruffed her. Thank the good lord, that was ridiculous. Thanks for all the ~ma and advice.

not your mom's socks.
Has Askye checked in lately? She's in VT, right?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
At what point after apologizing and trying to make ammends for a horrific breach in friendship do you, the offending party, get to say, "Get over it. I'm sorry, I said as much, let's move on." or, conversely, "Fuck off." in response to passive-agressive FB posts about finding out who your true friends are in times of hardship and being surprised as the people you thought you could count on but can't??

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Sadly, I think that if you are the offending party and your apology is not accepted then you just shut up. They're not obliged to accept your apology or make you feel better.

They have accepted the apology. They have said all was fine. But still, with the posts.

They lied! And, well, they're being ungracious.
But still, with the posts.
Unfriend them? It doesn't sound like they really consider themselves your friend anymore.
I don't know - it just seems like it'd be bad form to complain about how they're being bitcas at this point. The choice is either: (a) You made a shit sandwich and they're going to make you eat it; or (b) Stop being friends.
If they're family, then you're just kind of fucked.
Or, you could drop a big drama bomb and call them out for being ungracious but if the original grievance was as bad as you seem to think, then it just reflects poorly back on you.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
How long has it been. Aims? If it's a week or even a month, then I'd say give them time to get the whining out of their systems. If it's been longer and they are still at it, then you might need to unfriend them.

It's been almost 6 months.
It's the couple that had the baby and gave him up for adoption. Joe and I effed up. We were in a bad place regarding having kids and we didn't support them the way we should have.
Sigh.
Sometimes, I really dislike realtionships with the real peoples.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Sigh.
I think you might have to accept that things were said, even though they were regretted, that they can't get past. And if they can't past them, neither can your friendship. I am very sorry.
