Oh Christie, My Christie A is for Awful - - where did she buy that shirt? B is for Brilliant - what can I say, I'm in love with that skirt! C is for Collar, Jim hot under his. D is for Doubting, when Jim says "that guy" is no longer who he is. E is for Exasperated, a common state of mind. F is for Fastidious housekeeper, though her husband is blind. G us for Gee-Gaws, these baubles she picked up at a recent trunk show. H is for Honesty. Whether Jim had really changed is what she wanted to know. I is for Indignant, as she perceived. J is for Jim, sometimes he can really be peeved. K is for Kitchen, for home-cooked meals with a flair. L is for Laughter, something they could mutually share. M is for massage which she should have done instead of answer the phone. N is for Nestle, which Jim liked to do when they were alone. O is for Openness, what she wanted from Jim. P is for Patience, and seeing how difficult it was for him. Q is for Quiet time together, something that was rare. R is to Rebuild their marriage, past grievances need to be aired. S is for the Silence, while waiting for the other to talk. T is when not Talking, taking a walk. U is for the Umbrella which neither seems to own. V is for Variable. Her mood swings sometimes made Jim groan. W is for Wringing her hands as Jim left for work on the first day. X is for the eXpletives she probably thought, but never did say. Y is for Yawning and the need to catch 40 winks.

The writer's were so mean to have Christie fall asleep when Jim was agonizing over the missing Hank. It makes her out to be insensitive or clueless or heartless, however you want to take it. Anyone have a brilliant idea for another game?

Oddly, I didn't get that impression at all. At least, not here. Now, across the series overall, I did get the impression that Christie was pretty prickly and unsympathetic, but on this occasion? No.
Instead I just got the impression that it was very late at night and, as she presumably had work the next day it made sense that she'd gone to bed. Maybe Jim couldn't sleep, but there was no real reason why she shouldn't. And the fact that he was lying next to her for a while suggests that he didn't particularly mind that she'd gone to sleep.
Plus, she'd cancelled her dinner when she heard about Hank, and she didn't seem to mind being dragged out in the middle of the night to go with Jim to collect Hank.
Oh. My. Gosh. I cannot believe I have just defended Christie! Because, overall, I'm not a fan.
Good game, by the way. I know I have never taken part in any of these, but that's only because I can never come up with anything to add. I'm in awe of you guys who can!

Krissie Karma from me Krissie because I'm with you about Christie - not at all a fan!!!!!! But hey, my take? People handle stressful situations differently - eat, sleep, drink, you know.

Anyone have a brilliant idea for another game? I can't possibly imagine what else there would be! Man, could you imagine if there were, oh, say, 20+ episodes? But I'm sure one of you will come up with something. Mary, your "Z" post? HILARIOUS! KARMA!

Karma for saying it so well!

Good heavens, we really have done just about every BJ-related topic under the sun, haven't we? Maybe even twice. But I do miss Rhyme Time, so how about we just be as opinionated -- i.e. snarky, as Shmeep would say -- as we feel like? (I'm sure this was sparked/inspired by the latest comments about Miz Dee posted in this thread.) Blind Justice No-holds-barred Snarkfest A is for Atrocious -- could anyone have been meaner?

OK Maggie, I too miss the games, so I'm in....I can be snarky too. Blind Justice No-holds-barred Snarkfest A is for Atrocious -- could anyone have been meaner? B is for Bachelor pad. Someone should have bought Pete Steckle a vacuum cleaner.
