The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

[memento]

The sight of her husband in the arms of a man was the first of several rude awakenings for Alma. Stood!

[Fran]

Jack lacked the backbone to tell L.D., "My name's not Rodeo, the baby looks nothing like you, and you can get your own formula."   Instead, he smiled and went to get the boxes of formula out of the car.  Stood!

def. = willpower, courage, etc.

Jack couldn't fix Ennis's conflicting emotions that last day on the mountain, so he took a hard punch from Ennis right on the cheekbone.  Stood!

When Alma, who was sick of Ennis' dead-end jobs, suggested he work at the power company, he rejected the idea by saying: "Well, clumsy as I am, I'd probably get electrocuted" Stood!

[Fran]

Even though he knew that ranch stiffs never did much of a job, Joe Aguirre had no choice but to entrust the lives of his sheep to a "pair of deuces going nowhere" due to lack of other applicants.  Stood!

[Toast]

You find a sweet hurt cowboy who sheepishly follows you all over Wyoming, but he won't come home to your love and care.  Stood!

[southendmd]

Even though Jack greatly loved Ennis, he put up with his excuses and limits.  Stood!

[memento]

Cassie hindered Ennis' attempt to relieve himself in the men's room when she dragged him onto the dance floor. Stood!

[Toast]

Ennis's insecurities of being a different person in society:
You ever get the feelin'...  ...I don't know...  when you're in town and someone looks at ya?
Suspicious?
Like he knows.
And then you go out on the pavement and everyone's lookin' at ya like they all know, too?

Stood!

[Fran]

Jack found that sleeping in a pup tent that smelled like cat piss or worse was among his job's bad points.  Stood... until he complained so much that Ennis agreed to switch!
