SISTER'S BACKYARD LEISURE IS SMOKING, NOT PULLING, WEED
DEAR ABBY: Years ago you gave me some good advice, and now
I have a new issue I need help with. My sister, "Rhonda,"
and her husband -- both in their mid-50s -- will be visiting
us again this summer. The last time they stayed, we caught
them in our backyard smoking pot.
My husband and I were shocked and upset about it, and so
were our teenage children. This was a violation of the rules
in our home and set a poor example for our children, but I
was too spineless to say anything.
I want to tell Rhonda and her husband before this next visit
that drugs are absolutely not allowed on our property, but
my mother wants me to remain silent because she's worried
they'll stop visiting us unless I keep my mouth shut.
I want to see Rhonda, but not at the cost of compromising my
principles. And I am confused and hurt that even my mother
doesn't seem to care how I feel about how unacceptable this
behavior is in my own home. Am I being unfair? Help!
-- SPINELESS IN SAN DIEGO
DEAR SPINELESS: Your mother is wrong. It is not "unfair" to
set standards in your home to teach your children the differ-
ence between right and wrong. If you don't speak up, your
sister will assume -- and rightly so -- that you have no
objection to her using an illegal substance on your property.
What happened last year was unfortunate. But if you stay
silent and it happens again, you will have no one to blame
but yourself.

WAYFARER STYLE SUNGLASSES
Retail Price: $39.99
DEAL PRICE: $3.99
These classic and always popular Wayfarer style sunglasses have
never been more affordable. At $3.99 you'll want to stock up.
They are perfect for the beach or any activity. It's the Wayfarer
Style... your probably more familiar with it if I say Tom Cruise
in Risky Business, The Blues Brothers, Will Smith, etc...
Sunglass styles come and go but this style remains popular
and stylish. Two reasons for this:
1. Rugged and built to last. You won't have to worry about
anything flimsy or breaking off on these.
2. The lens color is very dark. It's so hard to find a real
dark pair of glasses anymore.
Drop them, toss them... they can take it! These will last you a
long, long time. To grab a pair or two, visit:

DEAR ABBY: I am a 15-year-old girl and a freshman in high
school. My relationship with my mother is very good. I can
talk to her about everything and anything.
My problem is she won't allow me to date as long as I live
under her roof. She says teenagers are too young to date. I
have recently developed feelings for a boy in a few of my
classes, but I am prevented from pursuing a relationship
with him. I feel sad and empty because of this.
My mother has no reason to keep me from dating other than
her belief that I'm too young. I am a good kid and get
straight A's. Friends tell me to date behind her back, which
I don't believe in. Mom is very stubborn, but so am I. Any
thoughts, Abby?
-- JERSEY GIRL
DEAR JERSEY GIRL: Yes. A parent who prevents her daughter
from dating as long as she lives under her mother's roof
and expects that when she moves out -- presumably at 18 --
she will automatically be prepared for the dating scene, is
delusional.
If your mother prefers that you not date one-on-one at 15,
she should consider allowing you to go out in groups, as many
teens do these days. Enlist the help of an adult female
relative or one of her friends to intercede for you, and
perhaps she'll relent.
DEAR ABBY: Why are some women so shallow that they won't date
a man who is going bald? I mean, they do not even make the
time to get to know us. They just turn us down.
Are there women out there who like men who are bald or
getting there?
-- SMOOTH-HEADED IN TAMPA, FLA.
DEAR SMOOTH-HEADED: Yes, there are. They're the smart ones.
This would include Heidi Klum (who is married to Seal),
Demi Moore (who was married for a number of years to Bruce
Willis), Mrs. Howie Mandel, Mrs. Chris Daughtry -- and all
the women who are chasing Tyson Beckford.
