Practice your zen detachment and turning aside skills. That's all I'm saying.
Dude, that's what he was doing *to you.*

Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

My response is, "Well, there's an idea."
Heh, that's exactly what I say.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Um, now I'm wondering where my link links to, because for me it links to squirrels fighting with lightsabers.
I would go with Teppy's version and stop taking advice from your uncle.
I vote for this also.
Your lack of guile makes you the number one buttmonkey in your family because they're all bossy as hell. You are direct and honest and you'll continue to be punished for this as long as you interact with them. Sorry about that, but it's true.
This is so totally true. You clearly didn't get the family gene for bossiness and manipulation. (Also, Hec is clearly Mr. Sorry-But-True Guy recently)
Respecting your elders is one of our most important values.
You can show respect for your uncle (heck, you can even actually respect him), without actually acting on what he suggests. That's one of those exciting and fun Life Lessons. I respect my sensei, because he's my sensei, even though I know he's just a guy and his lessons often can't be of any use to me, and might actually hurt me.
"I figured if he were right, I could save some money, and if he were wrong, there was no harm in asking, maybe?"
Hey! Another fun Life Lesson! Sometimes there is harm in asking.

Goddamn Life Lessons!

Oh, I so very didn't. I got the mutant gene for complacence and doormattitude.

I am such the ray of sunshine. Hmmm, maybe this is why people run away from me at cocktail parties...

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

It's more like the gene for caring and wanting everyone to be happy. Unfortunately, you let your gene carry you into making others happy at your own expense.
