Sifuphil Is now in The Hot Seat!

Philly, doubt you could have prevented it. Twenty years ago, the protection for children was sadly flawed. Still is, really. At least she had you, and the joy of the school. For a time she had a purpose, and a place to be safe, cared for, to belong. I have some idea what you meant to her. The gift you gave was huge. Wherever she is, she is grateful. Eek, I am crying.
 
Phil, how very terrible for you. But you can't blame yourself, there was no way you could watch over her night and day. Cyber hug.

Damn it, now so am I. That memory was buried until just now.

Thank you for your kind words.
 
Hi Folks.
If it is alright with SifuPhil and Ralphy, I would like to plonk Ralphy in the Hot Seat at around 11.00am tomorrow morning GMT.
This is in around 12 hours from now. (22.45PM GMT)
I have to go out for the rest of the day tomorrow for a hospital appointment, so difficult to do later.
O.K. people?;)

In the meantime, please bang in a few more questions, as I don't want Phil getting away that easily!:cool:

One last question from me.
And seeing as how I am feeling rather cheerful this evening...

What would you like written on your tombstone?

Philly, You have mentioned having sons, but I haven't heard anything about a daughter. Having raised both, I know how different it is to guide them through the confusion of the teen age years.

1. So what would be your way of preparing a daughter to deal with the challenges of a male dominate society?

2. If there was no mother in the picture, how would you deal with the feminine issues that all girls go through?

:bowknot: :praying:

I'm sorry son...just one more word about this and we'll let it go where it should. Even ten years ago, even now the system sucks. Jeez they actually "lose" kids in foster care, too many kids and far too many files. But really you did what you could, find peace in that. I knew a child and his sister. I've mentioned it before. The Mom was sent away for a month, petty offense. I offered to foster the baby even. But no the law was next of kin. The grandmother beat the older boy to death. The baby would be around 14 now. I think about her sometimes, her Mom too.

It is better to be a big softy than a big hardy Phil. (nothing sexual meant there).

When you are out and about, do you tend to smile at people, and maybe say good morning or good afternoon?
And in a similar mode, do you laugh a lot, and if so, what can have that effect on you?

It depends.

If it's someone my age or older, yes, I'll be civil and perhaps even pleasant. But in my neighborhood there are a few gangsta-types wandering around - them I give the neutral eye.

I laugh a LOT, mainly at myself, but when I talk with a good friend or two that also brings it out in me.

Here lies Phil
He got a little ill
Went to parties without pants
And died of Charley chill

:playful:

I thank Buddha I didn't have daughters.

1. Martial arts training, of course - but also mental training.

2. I'd grab the first likely female prospect, marry her and drag her home by the hair aka caveman style. "Ug - you - teach!"

And I would like to second those emotions folks.
I am sure that we all found those 'confessions' ;) very interesting!
In around an hour and a half from now I will strap Ralphy into The Hot Seat.:sentimental:
Has anyone got any last hour or so stuff they would still like to know about Phily baby?
