Alma was a good example of a desperate housewife before she got a job.

Ennis took a lunch of   "leftover biscuits, a jar of jam and a jar of coffee with him for the next day saying he'd save a trip, stay out until supper."

"L" is level-headed

Ennis might've seemed more level-headed than Jack was, but he really was a bundle of nerves;  he literally fell apart when his emotions got the better of him.

"O" is occupational
« Reply #1968 on: May 17, 2006, 07:39:54 pm »
As in occupational hazard, namely electrocution, which Ennis feared would be his demise if he got a regular job like something at the power company, that might be good pay.

=historical=
This is the same post I used at the original game on IMDB, which has the spot in history as being the final post in the original game before the administrators locked down the thread in Round 36 at 1,500 posts!!!  Finally, I leave a legacy!

=historical= "ABCs"
Quite true as Ann Marie thoughtfully reported.  I saw the post prior as AMH's "O" is "occupational".  Frequently, we had back-to-back posts.  And I was about to do the "P" for "paranoid", obviously for Ennis, when I saw this advisory: "No more posts!  This file now only for viewing."  I thought, am I being "paranoid"?

Bill Monroe told Alma that there was an opening at the power company and Alma wanted Ennis to apply for the job.
