That's a classic!
I cried from laughing too when I read what you wrote! I will now sing Tony Danza instead of tiny dancer every time I hear that song!
Back in the late 70s, me and my girlfriend were cruising about town in her dad's beat up old station wagon. We were in our late teens, it was summer, windows were open, radio blaring and that song with the lyrics "Sentimental gentle wind, blowing through my mind again" was on the radio. My girlfriend has a beautiful voice and she was belting out the chorus to this song with the words "Santa bring your little gifts". I was crying from laughing then, too, and she made me laugh even more when she kept saying "WHAT?"
I'm sorry but that is the classic excuse
when caught with contraband. He is probably just experimenting at this point but you want to nip that in the bud. He needs to really see what the effects of that will be and that he may think he can stop at any time but the problem is he won't know that he can't stop until it has already happened. I've always felt that stressing the inside damage they are doing to themselves is important but with a teenager looks are really what they care about- try stressing how unattractive and smelly they make a person, where girls that might be interested would pass because of the smoking.
Is "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" a classic yet?
LOL

And get thee to a doctor - you have classic symptoms sm
of DEPRESSION. Feeling weighed down, exhausted, too tired, not enjoying life and activities of daily living - you may need some chemical intervention to perk up. Plus get outside 30 minutes every day for some natural sunlight. TAKE SOME "ME TIME" - You need it. Life is short and why, oh why, be miserable in the short time that you have?
Hey, just keep it on Turner Classic. 31 days of Oscar. GREAT
I don't watch network TV, watch MSNBC in the morning (no Brit there). Catch all the Law & Order reruns I can. But I'm all over these movies this month. Lolita was on last night, Casablanca and Rebecca the night before.
I haven't seen Brit in a very long time. It is possible!! :-)
Classic sign of an abusive is a very , very fast romance - sm
leading to marriage, which it appears you have done. He has successfully isolated you from your family and controls everything you do. He is deciding where you live, what "he" wants to do, work, etc. You don't mentions kids, and I hope you don't have any, but if you do you need to take back some control if you intend to stay in this one-sided marriage. Sounds like you have no say/input at all, it is his way or no way. My DH gives me grief when I visit my family, as do my in-laws, I go anyway. He doesn't like it but he cannot stop me from going. He knows better than to try. He will make my life living hell until I leave, trying to get to stay, but I think only one time did I give in and not go, and boy was I mad at him for quite some time (and myself for giving in). My DH is very passive-aggressive but most of the time I ignore him but other times he gets me all worked up ready to kill him and then he is fine, and I am all mad. Drives me crazy. But after 12 years of this I have learned not to take the bait so much, and have seriously though of kicking him out, though he's refuse to leave as it "is his house" (it is in his name only but we bought it 10 years ago while we were married, so it is every bit mine as his). So if you get to the point when you are sick of his controlling ways, go see a lawyer. I plan to soon myself just to see where I would stand in the event of a divorce. We both have our faults in my marriage and I think it is smart thing to find out what could or could not happen in the event of a divorce. You might want to see what your rights are too, cannot hurt. As for your sister coming, just say, Mary is coming to visit and tough cookies if this bothers you. She has never been here before and I want to see my sister and niece and if you don't like it make yourself scarce while they are here. ---Good luck.
