I already contributed with the "Uncle" part... You get creative and think of the "something" so that you'll at least tolerate being called whatever it's going to turn out to be

Ok, I promise I'll never say that you're acting like a 12 year old. Just an 11 year old the night before their birthday. LOL!!

Well, yeah... Bella. You know, no matter how vicious we ever were to each other. I'd still be there for her if she wanted to talk. I'm not so heartless that I would let someone be like that. Being mad at each other or even wishing that you could smack each other or whatever, that's different. Just be mad, but don't be sad. Don't harm yourself, etc. Anyone on earth... even my worst enemy. I'll be for there for them in that case. Not that she's my enemy. I've been there...
Yes, you're my friend. It's hard to say at what point. Kind of feels like it was the moment that we started being friendly to each other. I'm not sure what else to say there, but yeppers, you my fwiend.

My step-mom. You're right. I'll probably have to make the first step, just to make myself approachable. I've heard from other family that for the first time that she's ever shown, she's scared. She's afraid that I'll snap at her if she approaches me. So yeah, I suppose. Not yet though. Just because it looks like I'm trying to slip in just before gift giving time.
But at the same time, I should soon. My dad fell the day after his birthday (Fell on Dec. 14th) and died on Dec. 20th. So... it might be nice to have amended things before then. She won't turn to me to talk or anything. That's below her, but.. you know still. I'm sure it'll make her feel better. Maybe life will be a little less chaotic. I'll be fine.
I do get the feeling that she's suffering muuuuuuuuch more than she'll ever let us know.

Well at least you finished the paper. I was going to get on you about that. LOL But I didn't want to annoy you.
If I did, you could call me Uncle Pester.

My fast car, I bought new, and then modified the crap out of it. But it had it's own problems from the start. Just because they made so many things out of plastic, and etc. It was a turbo engine too and for some reason they thought it would be a BRILLIANT idea to make the pistons cast, instead of forged. (Cast is weaker) So I broke one. Then had the engine rebuilt and added some goodies. Oooooooooo it was fun! I could be doing 70-75 in the wet, hit it, and the traction control would come on and tires blazing... sliding out of the lane slowly. It was so awesome. I'm fairly fearless in a car btw. LOL
I agree though. I'll probably always buy a car a couple years old or something like that. Though mine is much older than that. It's in spectacular condition. It doesn't have the bluetooth and all that but I can add that. No biggie. Sometime later in life I'll buy a newer car. I want to pay off this other crap that nickle and dimes me left and right.
I like those Mini's though. Of course I'd have to have a hot one, like the JCW Mini or something.

I'm gonna have to think about this Uncle thing... *thinking*

Out of curiosity... What's your dream car? I love the G55, X6, Porsche Panamera and Lamborghini Murcielago... I like Maserati's as well!

Hahahaha you in a Mini! How adorable! It's a really fun car to drive but it kinda tickles my speeding instinct, so I know you're gonna be very tempted to speed with it.

So you're very into customizing then, huh? I think that's really awesome TBH. My brother is into that kind of thing but I must feign, as I've done so before, ignorance when it comes to the technical and mechanical side of cars. You just hand it over and I'll drive it But I think the JCW Mini would be lovely. I chose the Countryman because I can't do coupes. I'm a 4-door kinda gal and it's a lot more spacious. Everyone who gets in with me, especially in the back seat always exclaim rather impressively how deceptively spacious it is... It doesn't seem that way on the outside though. Hopefully you get whatever car you desire in due time, sir!

That's the right attitude to have, to just be willing to help and set aside differences when the going gets tough. I think it's just best for now to save any arguments for later, when things cool. It's just really not a good idea to keep addressing the conflict when there's no room for resolution... She's clearly gonna take some time to gather herself before she deals with whatever's going on here.

Glad we mutually view each other as friends. Imagine after all this time you're like... Well, I mean, IDK if we're friends... I guess we're alright. I WOULD'VE SUCKER PUNCHED YOU THROUGH THE SCREEN! I think I felt the same though, when we just started chatting and opening up. I don't even recall how that all began really! LOL!

About your step-mom... If you're intention isn't to mend things in time for gift-giving season, as you said... Then your intention should shine through. Since the anniversary of your father's passing is coming up, I think you should clear it out with her. And I agree, she is probably suffering far more than she is willing to admit. I think, because of this, it's all the more important to be there for her in one way or another.

Get on me how? Like nag about my apparent carelessness? LOOOOOOL!!!! It's okay. I was so close to calling you Dad the other day when you told me to go to class LMFAO! That would've been awkward... Uncle Pester isn't embarrassing enough. I want something that's gonna make you cringe every time you see it

Yeah, I figured I got a nice Saturday morning at my disposal. So... WHY NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT!?

You're too sweet! Enjoy your evening, DF!
