Good Day! How are you doing? I hope that you had an absolutely fabulous on this oh so super Monday. Today is the 26th of May 2008 and that of course means that it is the Monday edition of the Morning Cruise…so it’s Monday and I do hope that you got all and I mean all the rest that you deserve this weekend, and that you got to spend time with those people in your life that you care for so much. I do hope that you relaxed and chilled out too, so that you can start this week a fresh with a positive perspective…

Trivial Question:

Tip of the Day:

I spoke about drugs and the devastating effects towards parents … Don’t be afraid to say no to devious drug addicts. One of the hardest things for parents and families of addicts is to know whether the addict in their lives is being honest or not. So here are some tips for parents to look out for in their children…

Part: 1

1. Pretend to be going to school, college or church to get pocket money.
2. Ask money for a pie and a cool drink or any luxury.
3. Request money for an important school item or outing.
4. Create conflict between parents.
5. Pretend to be ill or depressed. Make parents feel guilty.
6. Pretend to be nice to win parents and family over.
7. Become argumentative asn abusive when accused of drugging.
8. Appear to be very hurt when accused or even found with evidence.

Part: 2

9. Slam doors, break things and become abusive to show how hurt they are.
10. Constantly try to seek sympathy from the weaker parent.
11. Constantly bad-mouth a parent to make themselves look good or neglected.
12. Never accept “no” for an answer.
13. Go on nagging until parents give in to their demands.
14. Must have things their way.
15. Never see themselves as being wrong.
16. Things must always be the way they see them and not as they really are.
17. Unwillingness to face the consequences of their actions.
18. Expect to be bailed out of any situations out of sympathy.
