And just like that, Liels has found her new home.

In an insane asylum because breaking Twitter's heart is not normal behavior? Just load up my padded room with chocolate please!

Twitter is too much work. I thought Facebook was a waste of time. I can't imagine having to check Twitter all the time.

And I only check my Facebook once a week.

What's the biggest drink or most alcohol you've ever poured for yourself?

Bonus question: why?

We bought a "bong" (funnel and hose) when we were at the height of our drinking. I one day decided to fill shots full of beer to figure out how many "shots" were in it. The hose alone was 6 shots and I was like "what the hell, i can do 6 shots". Apparently my roommates filled part of the funnel too without telling me.

Back then i was pretty exclusively drinking Bourbon so I ended up doing 6+ shots of Jack Daniels in like.... 3 seconds. The buzz/drunkenness was absolutely nothing compared to the booze vapor in my throat. For the next 30 seconds it felt like i couldn't breathe and when I did it was a solid inhale of "fumes" from my mouth/throat and burned like a ***. I couldn't even cough because I couldn't inhale to fill my lungs.

i don't know if that helps but it looked right to me. I remember the media go thing looking silly and remember seeing the "download PSP games here" junk when buying games on PSN before. Sadly, I never owned a PSP

Why do mobile sites exist? They're all riddled with bugs and usually have less content than the full desktop site. Only a few of them actually include a "go to desktop site" option, and half the time you just get switched back to the mobile site anyway. D:< Grrr

Ive been having problems with my ipad. Dont know why, but it has been like "lagging" often. Changing apps froze the ipad for 1 or 2 secs, opening sites, even with normal internet (3g in brasil sucks, dont come mentioning 4g ; ;), ive been facing several freezes, sometimes it just stop opening the pages, then when i close the safari and reopen, the page quickly comes.

Lately it has been happening a lot. I admit ive looking some, huh... Forbidden hot sites. So, can my ipad have some kind of virus or malware? Thought ipads were relatively safe for that.

My ipad is 4, ios updated.

Hi.

Whats happening to ffxi wikia?

I did some reasearch, like "assault mission" and aparently the page had the content erased, just having the title and some links. Looking for some relic pages, like ghorn, its the same, just the title and nothing else, like picture, stats, links to trials, etc.

So, its maybe ffxi wkia is dying or just some mfer randomly deleting the content?

Anyways, whatever. Would you invite Old Girl AND New Girl and just try to keep in between them, to avoid hurt feelings, senseless drama, and sadness? Or do you leave one of them out just to make your life easier, never mind how anyone else feels?

Maybe this is easier because I'm a guy and we're mean to each other all the time, but:

If I'm really friends with Old Girl, I tell her straight up that she's being a *** to New Girl for no reason and I don't want that in my house. I plan on inviting New Girl and if Old Girl can't be a grownup about it then I'll see her at the next get-together, but I'm hoping she can get her head out of her *** and try to make this work for everyone.

If I'm not that close of friends with her, I just don't invite her, and if called on it, give the exact same explanation after the fact.

Real friendship means I try to make it work. If someone is just in orbit and being a pain in the ***, well, I don't really have the time for that. I know not everyone in the world is going to get along, but that sort of baseless rancor is pretty much the fastest way onto my ***list.

"Job is too easy". What the hell? Is Old Girl a coal miner or something?

I'd be an adult about it and tell them both straight up: MY HOUSE MY RULES. That said, I'd invite them both, and make them both painfully aware of unacceptable behavior and the consequences. We're here to be adults, have a good time, maybe even act a bit childish, but always adult when it matters. If I have to babysit anyone over the age of 18, friend or not, they will not be welcome in my home again.

You don't need to like each other, but if you ever put me in a position to choose either of you, I'd choose neither. (I can say this from personal experience)

I don't give a ***if they don't like each other, but they will respect my house, my rules, my friends, and each other in my presence or BEGONE FROM MY SIGHT YOU LOWLY INSIGNIFICANT PISSANTS!

Sometimes it's just better to get rid of the people who are toxic to your life and move on. Painful as it is, both of these people sound kind of toxic if they can't seem to respect you, your friends, or be civil towards one another in the presence of you or your friends. All that said, I think it's important to scope out how everyone feels. I'm sure some of them feel the same way, and are embarrassed by the both of them, while the boyfriend seems to be wearing rose-colored glasses about all this. The constant bad-mouthing of the other by one of them, quite loudly and publicly shows a lot of hostility, resentment, and jealousy and/or envy of New Girl. But we can only offer advice based on what you've mentioned, and this is really just my advice: If they can't grow up or be the adults they should be, much less respect you, your friends, or your property, then charge them a babysitting fee.

Why throw rage at New Girl? From the sounds of it, she didn't do anything wrong. This is squarely at the feet of Old Girl.

I might be able to appeal to New's martyr side.

That feels like punishing the victim. Martyrs are supposed to die for worthy causes, not pointless infighting. Why should New Girl have to put up with it? Old Girl is the one who's out of line.

If New Girl has been around for a year, she's not really New Girl, she's just Not As Old Girl, and I think I stick by my original suggestion even more with that information.

Yah it's kind of path-of-least-resistance (i.e. conflict-avoidance, drama-avoidance, but also kind of cowardly morally-speaking) to simply not invite OG and instead invite NG, but overall it seems the most pragmatic thing to do, shy of having a heart-to-heart with her first.

OG does sound like the type that is harder to get along with, anyway, and has more than simply the issue of her interactions with NG complicating things (OMG your couch!) :p

Hope you find a pleasant Ms. Manners solution before your house-party, Liela! ;_; And maybe "OG" and "NG" weren't the best abbreviations I could have used...now I'm stuck thinking of (Dave Chappelle as) Rick James on Eddie Murphy's couch... >.>;;

You call it rage, but your post is saying almost the same thing as mine, and most of my post is really directed at the way Old Girl is acting.

I don't have time for petty ***, be it from old or new. Both of them have to accept responsibility for the way they act and disrespect the group. It falls on both of them, not just one.

Old Girl has to be responsible for the petty *** and baseless disparaging remarks towards New Girl. It comes down to respecting the group, even if they don't like each other, they don't need to be bringing the group into the middle of their squabbles. So ultimately, if they can't do any of that, it's best not to invite either one (since Old girl will more than likely say baseless disparaging things when New Girl isn't around, or outright resent her, and possibly Leila for not being invited while New Girl is around), but I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt.

And like I said, I would still invite them both, but make clear the rules, and to scope out everyone's feelings on the matter. Let people speak their piece and all that.

I also hold belief, that if the group is doing nothing to stop this kind of behavior, that they are allowing this disrespect to happen in the first place. That said, I'm of the mind that friends will fight or have disagreements, but can still respect one another when it's over. If neither can be adult about it, or try to have you pick a side - my opinion is to choose neither side.

I think when it matters, you're one of the few who feels they can come to AH and receive a serious answer, albeit a different perspective, from the users here, and appreciate the answer, even if it isn't one you like.

I don't think it's a silly question. I don't believe honesty is ever silly... Unless you're being honestly silly...

And since you view them as a friend, or a part of your group of friends, I don't think it's at all too petty to have you worried. It shows you genuinely care about the overall well-being of the group, and your own well being on what kind of action would make sense to you.

There were mistakes made earlier if it already went on a whole year. Talks need to be made after wrong-goings are identified or they will become a habit and unsolvable due to growing hostility.

It seems to be too late to fix this on your own with talks to each girl. If the circle of friends is bigger than the 3 pairs you should consult with the remaining people. The bigger case is about the group meetings, so the group should decide. For you personally you can continue to meet both seperatly if you like both.
