I thought that the -dir ending was used in only two places,
1. to emphasise a fact that doesn't change,
2. used as is in a formal conversation.
This is why I really don't understand how İnşallah kızmamışsındır can adapt this suffix, especially due to the fact that it wasn't used in a formal context.
Also, how does the verb olmak help me here?

Someone said to me once:
Umarim iyisindir
I guess that's the same problem? I asked that person why he used the 2nd and 3rd person suffix of olmak at the same time, but I didn't really get the explanation 
Is it to stress that he hopes that I'm well? Or is it that he hopes I'm well, but he is not sure? :-S

Oh but you can use "umarım iyisin" though! In fact, my friend told me that when in doubt, it's better not to add the -dir suffix..

I KNEW I was gonna get a reaction like yours.
Actually, I only use "clever bastard" as a compliment
But OK: I'll put the question in a different way:
Would any of the nice helpful souls here be so kind to help out a poor ignorant girl?
