WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR DECEMBER 2015

Kim, my sister's husband is the same way. It doesn't matter matter if it is the microwave, computer, TV or what. Everything is on a power strip. So you turn the power stripon, use the microwave and then turn the microwave off. He is a type A very dominant personality. I have come to love him. He was just so supportive to my sis when she had her breast cancer, MRSA, drainage of infected implant pockets, implant placements, numerous orthopedic surgeries. I saw a different man than all the res of the family has seen because they only see him on holidays. He is a kind man. As an odd note, he started dating her back when we were in high school because he wanted to date me but I was young enough he would have to get permission from parents. So he dated her for awhile then finally got enough courage to ask her and my parents if he could stop dating my sister and date me. My sister drank a whole lot of mylanta during that phase. I am glad my sis is with him because because I could not become the wife that he insists that my sis be. It's not bad but he is head of the house.
Penny I am so glad you posted yesterday. I had seen an article either on the computer or on TV and I was just shocked. I yelled out to my husband that that is where Penny lives! He just kind of looked at me and I said it's 'Penny at the pole". He then knew who I was talking about. I was so worried when I didn't see you posting the next day. I am so sorry but I know remote towns and especially towns that exist in climates like yours are a true community and take care of each other. But it still leaves a hole. I hope they can rebuild that area soon and get the residents back in place.
Lenora, we had our house built back in the 70's, master closet is a little deeper than all the others but basically all of them are basic two door closets. When those organizers started coming out and you could buy them anywhere, I bought 3 of them and put all 3 of them up by myself. No, they aren't like the store The closet store or whatever it's called but they do have different height shelves, and then the shelves in the middle for folded clothes, purses, etc. I always kept my own tool box and made sure both my girls took a basic tool box to college. It was funny, when my Mom moved from her home into the independent/assisted living apartment building, there were 3 tool boxes. Mom's, mine and my sister in laws. Those were the tools we used to put up all pictures, build bathroom storage, etc. My Mother empowered all of us. Now of my own girls, Michelle, can take apart the car engine and put it back together, do anything in the house, Christina, well she is the manager of her husband!
I am in a cunundrum of deciding what to get myself for christmas from my husband. On one hand I am so grateful that I still have him and he still has all his faculties. That should be enough. But on the other hand, he never buys me anything for any occasion including birthday and wedding anniversary. He said it is not his job to buy me anything for Mother's day because I am not his Mother. So to that I ask him then what did he buy for his Mom. He said he doesn't like to buy some one something because then they will feel obligated to buy him something back and it goes on and on. When I asked him a couple of nights ago what I should buy 'for him to give me' he said a little trinket. He knows what a definition of trinket is because we got into an arguement about what a trinket is. So I asked him to clarify which definition of trinket he meant and he said a little piece of costume jewelry. I am not going to do that and it almost makes me want to buy a piece of fine jewelry. I also could buy that standing mirror jewelry armoire of which costs about $300.
I hope all of you girls travel, meal, family times work out well. No family arguements, no major snowstorms, floods, anything like that happen and you have the peaceful Christmas that you are wanting. Except for Janetr, I hope there is laughter in her home that can be heard from 3 houses down and they have to call the cops on her! If they do have to do that, I hope they are good looking cops and they join in the laughter!
Has anyone heard from Carol in NC?
Again big hugs to Penny. Joyce, Indiana0 -
Pip: Your "measly" exercise is more than I have done in two weeks. Darned flu. :grumble:
Sylvia & Kim: Hugs.
I'm knitting a dishrag to use as a protector in DH's new "Christmas" cookware. I had to start over several times due to dumb mistakes. Luckily, it doesn't have to be in use today. Once it is done, it will have a "picture" that is supposed to resemble a duck.

Vicki - Have you received word from your doctor about what that "something viral" might be? I hope your husband's health is turning the right direction and that you don't catch it, whatever it is. ((Hugs))
Michele - As you say, a couple days of stress eating won't ruin everything. So don't stress about the stress eating. Just
You're always such a whirlwind of activity... I hope you can rest up a bit in the holidays, whatever "resting" means in your case.
Lisa - Your words hit it bang on. I've often found solace in how free of malice Nature is. Vast and benignly indifferent. It makes me feel so small and insignificant. Yet, paradoxically, it also makes me one of Irish Terri's vital cogs in the universe: every tiny detail shimmers with significance and it becomes a duty, an honor and a privilege to see it all.
Heather - Glad to hear your husband read my post. Maybe with time he'll come around and not feel jealous for having to share you with us. I keep my own involvement in this discussion under my hat, not because my husband would mind, but because whenever I mention anything that has to do with losing weight he's liable to say something counterproductive. ("Don't get obsessive" he'll say, or "Live it up a little!") Luckily he accepts my jogging and weight lifting - even admires them a bit.
Hey, girl, don't go overboard on the hard sell! The convoluted, apologetic excuse-ification in your last sentence has me in stitches!Katla wrote: I'm knitting a dishrag to use as a protector in DH's new "Christmas" cookware.

Joyce - I don't know what's going to happen but I suspect the damaged houses will NOT be rebuilt, and the undamaged houses in the same area will be vacated and torn down. The storm we had last week was a once-in-a-century storm, but with the increase in extreme weather events, the area is far too avalanche-prone to allow people to live there. Those houses may be an iconic symbol of our town, but they're not worth risking loss of life.
At the memorial service yesterday, I saw that those three pre-teen childen who lost their father are going to have a tough time at Christmas for years to come. They were seated right beside the church's Christmas tree and when they paid their respects what they laid on the coffin was not just the traditional rose, but also wrapped presents and homemade Christmas decorations. My thoughts went to all of you who have mentioned painful memories linked to holidays.
We had a town meeting last night and walking there I saw that the church's outdoor Christmas tree was up again. This isn't a real tree, but a steel pole with criss-cross arms wrapped in a network of white lights. (In the constant polar dark you can't see the stark steel skeleton and it makes a marvellous tree.) It was blown down during the storm on Friday. The avalanche hit on Saturday and since then the minister has had other priorities - no time to deal with a mere Christmas tree. But someone called and offered to weld it back in place and he figured it couldn't hurt. Once it was there, he realized it was exactly what everyone needed. When I saw it from across the valley my heart lifted. Truly a beacon of hope.
On my way home from the same meeting I was accosted by a couple of warmly dressed Japanese women who pointed at the sky and asked me if that was the Northern Lights. I looked and wasn't sure (they come and go) but then I was sure. "Yes, yes definitely," I told them, and they ran off with their camera and tripod to take pictures. I walked home slowly, because it was a spectacular show: ribbons and fluttering drapes. It wasn't just the usual pale green either; there was also a hint of red, which is so rare I've never seen it before. Life goes on.0 -
Good Morning Ladies~
I am having a lovely time down here,but and this is a big but.. I tried talking to Tom last night about us, he stopped me and said we are on vacation wait until we get home..
I have gone through 6 months of no hugs, no snuggles, no kisses except from the dogs, and what do I get to look forward to when I get home? Christmas here will be like any other day, I got Tom a card and the park pass.. but for my birthday he got me the ipad mini and said that was for birthday and christmas... I know I wont get even get a card...
we have a week to go here and I just dont know how to deal with it... maybe let him go to the pool at different time than me, Mary one of the pool ladies, says that Tom is different when I am not here, he is laughing and talkative and when I am there at the pool he just sort of floats off to a corner by himself..
My daughter called me yesterday and said Kyle(her boyfriend) doesnt want to move to my dads house and wants to live with his mom.who is a nutcase.. so I dont know what will happen there..
I hope you all have wonderful holidays,,, I just want to know if I will be here next year if not there is alot I want to take home with me...0 -
Hi Everyone
A glorious day here. Sunshine but cold. Food shopping today, have to get the Turkey, pork , cooked meats, christmas cake, mince pies and all the other treats that make the christmas holidays special.
I will be going to mums christmas morning around 11.00 am and my sister will be taking mum to her home around 2.30pm for her dinner. Not sure whether mum is at my brothers boxing day yet. I have mum all day on 27 December. Still there 2.30 - 5.30 each day and Pat is there 6.00 - 9.00, the new private carers are with mum 10.00 am and 1.30 pm to give her medication and a meal. Eventually my sister and I will do evenings between us to give each other a break. We have been told that mum is entitled to another meal visit around 5.00 pm. We have been told the carers are allowed 30mins visits only. This is not long but we know that she will receive her medication and something to eat. Pat and I will still make sure that we do a meal for her if she wants something to eat. We will be there to sit and talk to her, find out if she is worried about anything and to get her out of the house if she is well enough.
Wishing everyone a fantastic christmas, all best wishes to you and your families.0 -
Morning, all.
Allie - take whatever you want home, or box it up and ship it. You can always bring it back if you and Tom are still together, but if you're not, you'll regret not having done it. Do it. I know advice is always worth what you pay for it--but I would start treating your relationship as if it were already over, and get on with your life. Not from fear or depression or revenge--just treat yourself as if you were worth caring about, whether or not Tom does. Protect yourself, do those things you would do if your future were certain, rather than uncertain, and let him do what he chooses. You need to care about you. We do!
Penny at the Pole - Yes, yes, yes. Some day, the Earth may well give a twitch or two of her massive skirts and shake us all off into the abyss. It's one of the reasons Elon Musk's SpaceX gives me hope for the future of humanity... we strive mightily to survive, and believe we've conquered the planet until nature informs us we are completely wrong in that belief, like the avalanche. Musk's determination to send colonists to and terraform Mars would get some of our eggs out of this fragile basket and give our eventual descendants a chance to survive. I so hope we at least send the first humans there before I shuffle off this mortal coil.
I am off to the gym this morning (Wellness Center, actually) to finally work out. I have sat on my ever-widening butt for a week and a half now, and that is plenty. My symptoms are completely gone... my energy levels have come back up. Unfortunately, I've had to take myself off the naproxen, as I found myself believing it was part of the issue. NSAIDS in general (Celebrex, Aleve, Advil, aspirin, you name it) have always been problematic for me--including mouth ulcers, etc., and I think part of the issue with the fissure's longevity was going back on them too soon.
So, I've been off my prescription dose of naproxen for two weeks, and while I'm stiff, movement-wise, I think I can deal with my knee and joint pain with Tylenol. It's a scary proposition of its own, with acetaminophen overdose as the leading cause of acute (rapid onset) liver failure in the U.S. and the United Kingdom. I seldom drink alcohol, which is a complicating factor for it, so don't worry about it too much. Also try to take half or two-thirds of the maximum suggested dosage, rather than even getting to the edge.
Woke up with an epiphany about 3 a.m. and actually held it to the getting-up waking at 4 a.m. When I stopped logging my food, every piece of my disciplinary habituation went right in the round file. My writing went out the window, my work at the warehouse, my health issues got worse, and everything became too much trouble at once... and it began with balking at logging my food. So, today, I start logging again. Just for today. I'll worry about tomorrow tomorrow. Time to start saving my own life again. Off to the food-logging side.
Much love,
Lisa in West Texas--the winter storm mix should miss us this weekend if the weather-critters are right. Still looking forward to a Monday departure for Missouri and points south and east.
And on the theme of hope:

Happy Wednesday ! ! !
Becca – My dad can empathize with you. A few months ago he fell up the stairs at a movie theater. It broke his glasses and ended up with a few stitches and both eyes black and blue. Hold your head high and know that accidents happen. I’m certain your personality will shine through.
Kim – I’m a giver, too. I love putting together little bags for people, usually with a handmade crochet item and a little lip balm or something. It makes me feel good to see people happy, and that in turn is their gift back to me. If they don’t like it, or want to trade with others, I am totally ok with that, too. // What a brilliant idea with the power strips. $4 per month doesn’t seem like much until you put it down as $48 per year. Good thinking ! ! !
Joyce – thanks for making me laugh at your wish for Janetr. You are so funny. I now wish her the same. // I say buy yourself whatever it is that you really want the most. I do the same thing, because even if I gave my DH a picture of what I want, there would be a huge chance that he still wouldn’t get it right, and this way I am happy.
Pip – I am proud of your baby-steps. Keep it going ! ! !
Katla – a duck? That’s cool. I wish I had the patience to follow a pattern. Yay for you ! ! !
Allison – Hugs and Prayers ! ! ! (btw – I agree with Lisa. Treat yourself the way you deserve, because you ARE worth it)
Elaine – Hugs and Prayers for you, your mum, and everyone that cares for her ! ! !
Sunday while heading home after grocery shopping, I saw a man with a sign that said “struggling family, will work for food”. So I opened my trunk and dug through all my bags. I gave him 4-5 Lipton rice & sauce, an entire box of SunnyDelight pouches, and all 3 roma tomatoes. I also offered him my gloves since he wasn’t wearing anything. He simply said “Bless you” and hid the bag in the bushes. It wasn’t much for me, but hopefully it will help him. If they ask for money, I usually won’t do that, but I try to keep some shelf-stable food in the car.
Today is the final day until I return to work next Monday to put stickers on the calendar, so I will take and post a picture soon (I am only able to do it on my phone while at work). My stickers are the bottom right corner of the days. This system is quite motivating for me.
Merry Christmas (or whatever reason you will be celebrating or relaxing). May you find the love, peace, and comfort you deserve ! ! !
Hugs for Everyone ! ! !

Good morning -
Penny Your photos are awe-inspiring and the stories heart breaking. I felt transported to the North Pole reading you posts. I'm so sorry for the tragedy your town has had.
Did 30 min P90X3 so I'm on track with that. Not doing great with the food. Hopefully the exercise will zero out the food and I'll maintain.
Not much new here. Will check back later.

I'm knitting a dishrag to use as a protector in DH's new "Christmas" cookware. I had to start over several times due to dumb mistakes. Luckily, it doesn't have to be in use today. Once it is done, it will have a "picture" that is supposed to resemble a duck.

Can you share the pattern with me? My husband would love a dishrag that has a picture that is supposed to resemble a duck.

Penny: I'm not criticizing my knitting other than for making a bunch of lame mistakes because I haven't knit anything in a couple of years. The pattern is supposed to look like a duck. Some of the patterns in this book are more representative than others. The sailboat and rocking horse are the two best so far.
It sounds as though your community is moving forward after the tragedy. It is really the only option. Healing thoughts to those who grieve.
Becca: I haven't thrown away any pics of my fat self. I agree with your comment, "So many ladies I have chatted to about this have thrown away, (or burned ceremoniously) all their "FAT" pics. You have to know where you have BEEN to appreciate where you are NOW." :flowerforyou:
Kim: DH and I are on our own for the first time. I know something of how you feel, although we are blessed to have one another. There are cousins and friends we could see, but we have the flu & don't want to expose anyone we know and love. Hugs! I fight depression every winter and I'm winning thanks to daily doses of vitamin D3. :bigsmile:
Alison: (((Hugs.))) I agree with Lisa's comment, "just treat yourself as if you were worth caring about, whether or not Tom does. Protect yourself, do those things you would do if your future were certain, rather than uncertain, and let him do what he chooses. You need to care about you. We do!" Ask yourself what YOU want, and take care of yourself. It appears that Tom doesn't have a clue what he wants. :flowerforyou:
Barbie: I'd be happy to share the duck dishrag pattern with you. If you can send me a message with your mailing address I'll photocopy the pattern and mail it. I tried taking its picture with poor to mediocre results. I have pretty good technical skills to a point, and then I'm out of my depth.
Terri: I love your calendar! :bigsmile:
It isn't raining right this minute and I saw a neighbor checking on his boat. It is an open fishing boat that would likely be in danger of sinking except that he keeps it on a float and leaves the drain hole open to let water run out. It looks like he's putting the cover back on, too. This December will likely set a new record for the most rainfall in one month.

I sometimes like to look at the photos you share on your profile page. It seems that that is no longer possible. When I click on a person's name, it ask me if I want to send a message and won't let me go to their page. Has anyone else noticed this?0

Hi all!
Kim - I like to give fun, unexpected presents and often do, just not ones I feel obligated about. :ohwell: I am someone who hates waste and excess and I am an extreme "underbuyer" in Gretchen Rubin's terms. However I'm someone who likes to splurge on "experiences" and often horrify people at how much I'll spend on doing something I've always wanted to do.
At my funeral I want played "Enjoy Yourself, It's Later Than You Think!"
Alison - good advice from Lisa and everyone.
Penny - I know that you all will be thinking of the lost citizens this Christmas.
Katla - Hugs for Christmas, but don't give me your germs! I can't see my yoga friend because she has a bad cold. :ohwell:
Miriam - I know how you feel. I'm just coming out of mine. I often have a post holiday reaction. I'm sure your spirits will revive. It could just be a perfectly understandable reaction to all the stress and fuss of the adoption. Good things can stress us out just the same. More sometimes.
DH has spent AGES making the Moussaka! But once it's done then Monday will be easy. I've made the feta pie which we will have tonight with a tomato, cucumber and avocado salad. How healthy does that sound! I will be brimming with vitamins!
Still got a little bit of wrapping to do, but I will take myself off to the bedroom television tonight and do it then. Haven't made the brandy butter yet, but I've got tomorrow.
My #2 son actually rang me today. He wanted to know if DH was doing a Christmas Quiz, as he does every year. I said yes, he's just finishing it off. We discussed Christmas Day arrangements. We will leave home around 9 am and should be with them around 11 am. Lunch is at 12.45 so that DGD can share some of it with us before her nap. We are having roast beef. All sounds great! My son is the cook in the household.
He is on two weeks paid leave as he has just finished his job at the brewery. (He handed in his notice a couple of months ago as the hours were too long and the pressure ridiculous ) I hesitatingly asked if he had a new job and he said he did! :drinker: What a relief! Starts January 4th. Don't know what it is, but no doubt I will hear over Christmas.
I also heard that my ex is not good. He has some kind of kidney cancer that is slow growing. They are going to operate to freeze it. ???????? He has to have blood boosting injections. Previous to that his liver nearly packed up. He is not overweight, is not a big drinker, never smoked. Life isn't fair, is it!
Love to all. Heather UK

Michele: Thanks for sharing the sausage ball recipe and including instructions for high altitude. I'm at 5600 feet. Now, just breathe and enjoy having the family around enjoying all the great food you've prepared.
Penny: I feel heaviness in my heart for the many families that lost their homes and loves ones. I hope your community can marshal the resources to get everyone placed in warm and safe locations. Prayers and hugs as you face the tough days and months ahead.
Becca: You're looking good. In Hawaii, we adopt people close to us and call them 'calabash' cousins, because it means this person is close enough to drink from the same gourd as the rest of the family. So, I'm adding you to my list of cousins.
Dr. KatieBug: "one in-one out" = Great rule and if I start to get tempted by the after Christmas sales, I'll be applying that principle.
Vicki: Hope DH has his appetite back and you have medical results.
Grandmallie: Squeeze every last second of fun and sun and rest and friendship out of this trip. I agree with Lisa... take care of YOU.
Kim: I'm a spontaneous gift giver. I used to make all my holiday gifts (I work for an organization that glorifies crafting), but these days I just don't want that stress. I 'collect' little goodies from my travels and surprise people close to me when I see them. I've got something for you...please send me your address.
Terri: Stick to your stickers! What a great visual motivator.
Heather: What is the gist of the Christmas quiz? Sounds like fun. Can we all participate?
Yesterday I felt like I had a sinus infection. Rare for me to catch anything. Wrapped up my work for the week and went to bed early after downing two rum and ginger hot toddies. Today, I feel great. No trace of the headache or sinus pain. I've got to run and shower. DH and I have tickets to go see Star Wars. We almost never go to movies in a theatre, so this is a big treat. By the time we come out, it will be bitterly cold, well below freezing. There's a good probability of a white Christmas here.
Stay well. We can do this.

Well, I have been reading, but yesterday was too chaotic to post and today is not much better. Taking some work time to get in touch, but after that it is back to the whirlwind.
Penny, thank you for sharing the story of your little town, which faced such devastation! I feel sad for the children.
Allison, your situation sounds so iffy with Tom. Remember that old Ann Landers line about being better off with or without? Many women have had to ask themselves this question. Hugs to you!
And Michele, I hope you can make it through the stress all right. I am a bit stressed even though I am happy DD1 will be home tonight! And as far as the "lost children" I firmly believe that while there is life there is hope. I know that is hard for us both to remember especially at Christmas, but it really is true.
Time to get back to work, love to all!

Braved the scale this morning. I've actually lost a couple of pounds since Thanksgiving. This gave me motivation to practice moderation tomorrow and Christmas Day, which will be the only two days that should tempt me.0

Love you all sooooooo much!
No wonder DH is jealous!
The Moussaka is in the freezer! Had to shift a lot of our home grown fruit to get it in. :laugh: I was a bit worried at it is in my favourite, huge, red enamel dish. Very festive looking.
Rori - the quiz is top secret! DH is so great at the quizzes. He used to make them a bit difficult for some members of the family, but has tried to make them easier recently. His poor sister really used to struggle. My son rang because my daughter in law's parents will be at his for Christmas and they love a quiz. They once asked us to join them for a competitive quiz and I won the tie breaker! ! !

Terri in Milwaukee~ i REMEMBER when your father had his fall! It's amazing how tender facial parts are, because I didn't land too hard, but cheeks and under the eyes bruise really easy. Today my husband did a funny thing. We always go to the laundromat on Wednesdays, because the dryers are free that day. Also we always go at 8 AM because that is when a nice guy that my husband pals with is there. He was in the Marines, (husband calls him Gunny) and the guy calls my husband Chief. Anyway, they are chatting and I am loading the washers. Gunny asks what happened to my cheek, and my husband says in a low tone, "Well, I asked for oral s@x and she missed!" Well both him, my raunchy sailor of a husband, AND the guy that owns the place that was cleaning the washers, laughed over THAT one! Me, I just turned a shade of red! It was all in fun, and I didn't take it personally or anything. Afterwards my husband smiled and said, "well that situation just made my day!" (hope I didn't offend anyone with that wee little story, not my intent).
Rori~ Just call us "the Gourd Girls"! Love the story, and yep calabash cousins works for me too! ((hugs))
At the laundromat there was a gal we always see every Wednesday. Except today she had her mother, and her kids. I could not believe all the clothes she was washing! I don't even OWN that many clothes! Her kids do not listen one iota to her, when she is trying to discipline them. It's sad that parents can't realize the damage they are doing by not "following thru" with being stern when they are presented with situations that dictate them to do so. I was "BLESSED" with a voice like my Mom had. I can talk low, slow and a wee bit demonic. It works and scares the bejeebers out of children!
I have a vivid memory of being at a clothing store with my mother. I was young because I could move the clothes and hide in the inner circle part of the clothing circular racks. When she couldn't find me, (I could so be stealth-like), I jumped out at her saying "boo" which amazingly enough didn't scare her but made her mad. It was then she said a phrase that is burned in my memory. "If you don't behave, I am going to rip your arm and beat you with the bloody end of it"....all said very low, slow, and demonic. I think I just pee'd the floor, but I never did it again. Also she never beat me, just talked demonic. No worries.
Lunch is calling me.

Another day and I am working 7-3 today then off next two days. Hoping to hear something from the doctor today. DH is just feeling worn-out. Still not eating much and last evening he tells me the main reason he is not eating is because his stomach feels full. Not sure I like the sound of that.
Kay--You are welcome to come to my house anytime and put things in order.
I share stories and pictures from here with DH and he has no problem with the time I spend with my dear friends. He tells me it helps my moods and I agree. I love this group and consider you all family. I could not keep doing this without your support. I would of givin up by now and gained back most if not all the weight.
Yesterday DH backed our computer up and out of windows 10. He seems to think it is working better and faster. So time will tell I guess. I am just glad to have the program to do my pictures.
Sylvia--Sounds like your shopping trip went well and all are happy. I am glad they are making cute things for young girls, I remember growing up in order to get things that fit I felt like I was wearing my grandma's clothes.
Kim--I so wished we lived closer as I would have you to our house for Christmas and anytime you wanted. Sending HUGS!
Great news!! DH just called and the doctor called and told him there is no tumor. He has a viral infection that has things swelled up. He has to start drinking ensure for the weight loss and said it will take time and rest. Thank you Jesus as I was scared. Thanks for being here and all your support.
Joyce--I think you should buy the standing mirror jewelry armoire. It is something you want and deserve.
Allison--Sorry you are having this stress. I wish I was there and could give him a big kick in the pants. How mean to put your though this and ruin Christmas. Sorry to say he reminds me alot of my ex that liked to play head games, so I never was sure what was going on. You deserve so much better. Are you saying that if you split you would not be able to go back and get your stuff? Is the place not in both your names?
Teri--Great stickers and a way to show how well you are doing. Thanks for sharing.
Heather--Sorry to hear about your ex. Life doesn't feel fair at times and all we can do is to keep going.
I am caught up and time to get some work done before I am off. Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas or whatever you celebrate. Lets all dream about all the good things coming in 2016.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE
