There's really no underestimating how fucked up some people are. You can't imagine the journey that took them to where they are. Ultimately they have to take responsibility for their own actions but they themselves are damaged people and ithere's no other word for it than a tragedy.

We talked about the other winners on the podcast yesterday. Expect it to be released in 2018

I think everyone nominated, well, they are the most awesome people. Many people that were not nominated, they are awesome as well. I just love everyone on this forum, even those I don't seem to get along with. This is a great place. I'm so happy to have found it. I've made so many friends here and I have so much fun too. The award season has definitely been a blast! I look forward to the announcement of the winners! No matter who wins an award and who doesn't, everyone is a winner!

Seriously, I just want to know if I won anything or not. Someone PM me if I did.

This is exactly how I feel, except it couldn't give a fuck about the awards. I think they're gay.

Darning socks is much more exciting.

Is it? You should give me a lesson because I'm throwing out so many socks lately. My dog just keeps on chewing them and I wouldn't have a clue how to darn a sock.

Can never wrap my head around how someone could kill their own children.

I understand Amir & totally agree. However can you see my point of view (wrong or right) that neither of my children could be cared for by anyone else but me due to their illness,the amount of meds they were on & at differing times of the day, when I took ill with a migraine & vomiting I had to crawl from the toilet to the kitchen to get the meds for my child so he wouldn't have a seizure. Then crawl back to give him the meds which had to be mixed in a tube to feed him. When I got help to the house there was nobody who could take care of him so they called an ambulance & he ended up in ER for the day as that was the only place he could go much to the annoyance of the staff as ER isn't a babysitting service. By this stage he couldn't walk either.

My husband was also ill like my child & in adult nappies (diapers) couldn't chew food, needed thickened drink etc. There were many times when I thought that if I went off the deep end & decided to kill myself I would have to take my child with me as nobody else knew how to care for them. I never thought of taking their lives without me though - never ever.

This looks like an Aboriginal family & unfortunately they are fairly downtrodden in society however I haven't read the details this morning of what went on. Lets say I'm not surprised but it is an absolute tragedy beyond words.

Yes, I know for a fact you understand how this situation has happened. Most people can't imagine the dire straits that occur to an unlucky percentage of our, or any population. It's utterly devastating that someone can end up in such a situation where our community services aren't available to help. And again, you know too well about that. This situation is a tragedy and it's an appalling exposure of our public assistance for those in desperate need that they end up resorting to this.

People can say "this is so sad"......"how can someone do this to innocent children"......but unless you understand the limits that some people are pushed to, the mental trauma they are going through......you'll never understand what some people will do out of desperate need.

This situation doesn't need judgment. It needs sympathy and a serious evaluation of our care for those in impoverished communities.

I'm so not shocked this would happen. A good proportion of our indigenous population are utterly useless people.

Congratulations. You sound just like Tony Abbott.

I firmly believe that pretty much anything can work on a pizza- at the moment the place down the road from me ( recently changed hands) can't do any type of pizza right and as OP stated I really can buy frozens that end up a crisper, better tasting, cheaper pizza than anything these guys make...though to be honest the frozen pizzas are usually very skimpy when it comes to meat.

A couple of years ago, I lived on a street with a proper Italian Pizza joint- you could order pretty much anything and it was beautiful ( the pasta kicked ass) but (there's always a but) if their dim witted teenage children were running the phones/taking the orders odds would be good that they would forget to pass on half your order, even if you only ordered 2 items.

I only order pizza to keep the dim witted teenagers that deliver them in a job.

Lol!!!!

I'm wondering though, when you consider the bought pizza to be less crisp and less tasty than a frozen pizza are you taking into account the fact that it hasn't just come straight out of the oven when you start eating it? If I order a pizza the first thing I do is put the oven on to refreshen and crisp the base up.

Not flour. Used to use it but it needed too much to make it slide and it was powdery. I use corn meal. It requires less, and allows airflow to crisp the crust better.

And if the stone is hot enough it will not stick. One of my stones (I have 2) is also glazed, that helps.

I have a pizza stone and it has absolutely ruined ordering pizza for me. I can get the stone up to about 620 in my over and then I move it to the top rack and put it on broil. Fresh tomato sauce with whole milk, full moisture mozzarella. I rival Italians.

You put the pizza directly on the stone? How do you prevent it from sticking to it?

Flour, brah.

Also make sure yo stone is hot before putting the pizza on.

We use semolina flour. It's quite gritty and provides a good barrier between the dough and the stone. And without doubt most people fail to realise how hot the stone has to be. We had a slab of cordierite cut to the size of our oven from a local stone mason and for pizza the oven temperature needs to be HOT!!!! 230 degrees celcius and when you add a slab of stone to the oven this takes MUCH LONGER than it otherwise would. Usually another 30 minutes at least, than it normally would. Oven thermometers are really helpful to know when your oven is ACTUALLY at temperature as opposed to trusting the in built thermometer. My OH runs a wholesale sourdough bakery and he would never dream of trusting a domestic oven's indicated temperature. An oven thermometer is super cheap and surprisingly accurate!

Needs pineapple and jalapeño.

It never ceases to amaze me what many people misinterpret the definition of 'charity to be. Let's recap:

CHARITY

[char-i-tee]

noun, plural charities.

1.

generous actions or donations to aid the poor, ill, or helpless:

to devote one's life to charity.

2.

something given to a person or persons in need; alms:

She asked for work, not charity.

3.

a charitable act or work.

4.

a charitable fund, foundation, or institution:

He left his estate to a charity.

5.

benevolent feeling, especially toward those in need or in disfavor:

She looked so poor that we fed her out of charity.

6.

leniency in judging others; forbearance:

She was inclined to view our selfish behavior with charity.

7.

Christian love; agape.

So yeah, some people think it's about giving money. It is that, but it's a lot more too.....kindness, not being judgmental, seeing a person's pain and treating that with benevolence.....

I think there are some people on this forum who claim to 'donate to charity' who could do with a lesson on what it really means to be charitable.

No, and I don't feel the least bit guilty about it. I worked hard to get where I am and I work hard to make my life comfortable.

Why you even thinking about guilt?

Because most people that talk about charity are doing it for 1 of 2 reasons, to make themselves sound like saints, or make you sound like shit.

Or because they were asked the simple question and decided there was no problem answering.

I'm talking about people that pepper it in whenever they can with a warped sense of superiority. Like vegans.

Can't argue with that. I don't like that either.

I immediately think of Oprah and Bono when I read these posts.

Without a doubt they are the 'charity whores' of the global charity 'scene'.

Yeah sure, their contributions are great, but I see an obnoxious sense of superiority from their 'giving'. If you have to shout it out to the 'nth' degree, it's not actually giving in the true sense of the word.

Seperate bedrooms? You are mid 20's not mid teens. Christian parents annoy me because they are so hypocritical.

Even if you're going to play the Christian card, it still makes no sense She said to him "my house, my rules" which is fair enough, but when he said we obviously sleep together when we're at each other's places she was like "you shouldn't be doing that"...regardless of what you believe about sex before marriage, there is no reason why a couple can't sleep in the same bed.

Which begs the question.....if you guys get married is she going to expect your parent's to pay a dowry?

Or even worse, they join you both to 'put you to bed' at the end of the wedding:

In Scotland , it was not uncommon for couples to be put to bed by their family and friends at the end of the wedding, a symbolic behaviour showing the communities endorsement of the marriage and the following consummation.

If you were to go back in time and kidnap anyone from a few hundred, or even a thousand years ago....and bring them to modern day society.....they would think they were in heaven.

So why are people so freakin' miserable? Specifically around here sometimes. Seems like most of the people I know outside of the forum are really happy and grateful.

Because if you kidnapped someone from a 100 years prior to that and bought them to where your kidnappees come from they'd think they were in heaven...until they got used to it. Happiness or inner peace (i'm gonna go all mung bean on you here, hold on tight) isn't defined by convenience or 500 TV channels to choose from, it's something to do with each individuals emotional requirements.

Also, to be honest, if you did take someone from 100 or 500 years ago and bring em to today they might well think they are in hell. How would you explain torture porn to them? Or skirts above the knee, or the loss of God, or the way we fail the elderly and leave them in special homes to die? Or gay rights? Or equal right for ethnic minorities and womenfolk? There's a fair chance man from the past would be sickened at the world today. How about explaining the Hydrogen Bomb to man from 500 years ago?

I dunno....I think having access to running water, electricity and certain medical knowledge has done wonders for our sanitation and as a result our life expectancy. And I think our 'womenfolk' have far more opportunities and also life expectancy (since we don't have to give birth in a mud hut and have the right to work and vote) today than they did 500, 400, 300, 200 or even 100 years ago. And I'm pretty sure gay folk feel a greater sense of peace today than they did 20 years ago, let alone 200 years ago and I won't even get started on blacks or anyone of 'colour' living in the western world.

So yeah, I guess every person, unless they're a white, heterosexual male with no disabilities, no social 'dysfunction' and adequate access to employment opportunities regardless of which century they were born in, would be feeling cool about being born in the time we live in.

And I don't think skirt lengths have any bearing on happiness either. I have found great joy with a mini and a floor grazing gown.

But the question isnt if they were born in this time, its if they were bought to this time from there. Think Marty McFly and Doc Brown

Yesterday bought off white jeans.

Today bought pink fabric dye and the two fabrics either side.

Outside of London, no one cares.

I don't think there can be any comparison really. I think both are divine......they are both a staple part of my diet.

For me great bread is for breakfast and/or lunch and 'pomme frites' (their proper name) are for lunch and/or dinner. A day is not complete without both IMO.

French bread with a bowl of gumbo/red beans and rice

Never had gumbo, heard of it, what's it like?

It's a Cajun stew made with a dark roux, almost blacked and smokey. I usually add andouille sausage, shrimp, pulled routissery chicken, onion, green pepper, garlic cloves, cellary, chicken stock, and cayenne pepper. Served over white rice.

It's an all day simmer, I usually prep it in the morning and have it ready eight hours later, so it's very flavorful.

Sometimes I do corn, chipotle pepper, and black beans too, for a southwest twist. Either way it's fucking delicious southern cooking, try it sometime.

Last time I made gumbo I was stirring the roux when my housemate tried to commit suicide. She was such a fucking cunt that I ignored her and let the medics drag her out cuz there was no way I was leaving the stove.

Yeah dude, you can't leave the roux. You gotta stir that shit for like, 45 minutes straight or it'll burn. No situation is more important than keeping a gumbo from being ruined

Bitch kept me awake for fucking weeks with her shit. For all I cared at the time she could get fucked. Gumbo was awesome though.

I remember pictures of the bloody sheets. Glad the gumbo was not ruined.

You're out of your mind. Literally. Keep obsessing over my picture, and convincing yourself it's normal. Freak.

Now stop using me to shit up this thread and making everything about you . That's what every other thread you post in is for.

Lol. That same old accusation. I've barely posted in the last 6 months.

Anyway, I've seen your pic now. Those sunglasses don't suit the shape of your face.

And seriously, hold off on the bleach.

Of course it's the same old accusation. You're the same old needy attention seeker with zero self esteem. Among many other mental health issues.

Im so happy you finally saw a picture. And for proving my above point. Predictable.

elegance: the quality of being graceful and stylish in appearance or manner.

Elegance is a wonderful thing but the reality is that it has no place on a Guns n Roses forum.

And they offer exceptional service and returns policy. Can't go wrong.

Their delivery procedures are very efficient: UK to Australia in 8 days and free shipping!

When it comes to lingerie, what's the difference to a department store? Who knows how many people have tried on a particular garment? When it comes to bras.....no big deal. But knickers are another story. When you buy from a shop you naturally check that they're 'new'. Often they come with an adhesive strip to protect the 'bits'. As is the case with online purchases.

Probably drugs.

But me being me, I'd have to buy a lot of drugs for a lot of people.

Might just get a Q, go 8th, 8th, 8th, and smoke the rest; That'll actually sort out my Christmas, since I'm close to 3 girls who like drugs; but what t get the 4th one?

Probably drugs again and smoke it with her since she's not fussed and could go either way.

How 'close' are you with the 4th one? Because I just got a sensational parcel from Lovehoney (slutty lingerie and sex toys) and the stuff is super awesome and was mega value (aka CHEAP!)

And they offer exceptional service and returns policy. Can't go wrong.

Always wanted to attend a red carpet award ceremony and if I did so I'd wear something along these lines:

But given the quality of the event would probably just turn up in something like this:

For me personally, nothing. Neither of us have time to give a fuck about Christmas presents. For the last 5-10 years it's always been "what do you want? I dunno, what do you want?" Now it's a case of 'too tired', and we always buy what we want when we need it anyway. Now it's about spending a day off with family and enjoying great food and great wine.

Got us engraved leather bracelets, a large teddy bear she wanted, a couple shirts, a box of her favorite popcorn and a trip to NYC for New Years.

When you say 'shirts' do you mean bras?

Everything else sounds absolutely magnificent. Especially the engraved bracelets and NYC for New Years.

You're out of your mind. Literally. Keep obsessing over my picture, and convincing yourself it's normal. Freak.

I don't wanna shit-stir or anything but Red was telling me the other day how she could fuck you up in a fight. Just sayin.

Will there be mud?

Why do you think I ordered nipple tassels?

They haven't arrived yet though, should be here before Tuesday.

I'll be taking lapdog applications starting immediately. PM me.

I'll get you a lapdog if you give me a lap-dance.

I'll rock your world.

Now that is something I need to see. I'll lend you my nipple tassels if you like.

NGOG was alright until he decided not to have a sense of humor.

Anyone who tells me I should not drink alcohol is no friend of mine. I would have voted TeeJay but fortunately the fucker doesn't post that much anymore.

My official vote goes to Lithium due to the fact he likes to brag about how much he can bench despite any evidence whatsoever. Therefore I am inclined to believe he is a neckbeard with a small peepee.

Happy voting.
