I have discoverde the source of meriis weight gain..in and out burgers and animal fries!..so funny you posted tweets,,thats how i discovered meris addiction to in and out..from a tweet i just read from someone she indulges with frequently
ReplyDeleteDear MS,
ReplyDeleteWill be thinking of you tomorrow with good thoughts that your surgery goes well and that healing will be swift and complete. Rest up !!
If that's Christine dressed as Rosie the Riveter, she looks spectacular!!
ReplyDeleteSaid the woman who gave birth on TV, who shares a putative husband with three other women and who revealed her sexual history to her young children in a sermon: "Note to those who design costumes for adult women- Really? I am married and a mother. Why would I want to show off that much of my body?"
ReplyDeleteReally Robyn? This is what you are concerned about?
HAHA I so agree. she is such a hypocrite!
Deleteso is she saying that she dressed immodestly like that and it was ok in order to snare a husband but not now that she's done so?? i thought their religion taught them to dress modestly even before they were married?
DeleteRobyn is such a dumbass!!!
DeleteI personally think it would have been hilarious to see her dressed up as a big purity cookie monster! Of course she also could have pulled out the modest wedding gown since she just loves pretending she's married.
DeleteI 100% agree with robyn the costumes you buy for adults are shameful for a day that is suppose to be about kids. I am only 24 and have never dressed up for halloween as an adult because the expectation is to be a slut and wear as little as possible.
DeleteYou took the words right out of my mouth.
DeleteAnyway, I think it is more shameful that she talked about how her first son was a mistake and how she felt "pressured" into sex on national television.
Also, I think showing your coochie on national t.v. while giving birth is showing more than any Halloween costume I have ever seen out.
What are those green things Janelle made supposed to be? Toes? Caramel topping?
ReplyDeleteI immediately thought of the dirty-feet on the furniture store bed episode.
I know! Maybe mummies?
Deleteyeah, i couldn't figure out what she was going for and if you have to explain it - then it's not working!
DeleteAnother culinary mystery from the Brown kitchen! Green toes maybe?
DeleteThey are meant to be witches fingers. I made them for Halloween as well. It is basically a shortbread type cookie dyed green, the "fingernail" on mine was an almond sliver, I can't quite tell what she used as her "fingernail" though.
DeleteWhat? It's monster fingers.....I've seen the stores around here selling cookies like that too....
DeleteI think they are supposed to be witch's fingers. Usually the nail is made with a slivered almond.
Deletethey're her witch fingers. she's always made them for halloween. the green glaze is new, though.
Deleteif she's always made them for Halloween, you'd think she would have mastered the simple feat of making them obviously look like witches fingers by now. no interpreting needed re:this recipe below. :D
Deletehttp://www.simplysogood.com/2011/10/creepy-witchs-fingers.html
OOPS! i hit send instead of paste. :D
Deletehttp://www.simplysogood.com/2011/10/creepy-witchs-fingers.html
I remember her saying on twitter they were toes
DeleteIt looks like Aspyn is having a great experience at UNLV - I am so glad she is making friends and having fun.
ReplyDeleteAspyn is such a pretty young lady, I hope she enjoys her college experience as much as possible. I also hope she breaks away from her family, they are one toxic bunch.
DeleteAspyn & can't think of her full sisters name. They look wonderful, they both lost so much weight. When they moved to sin city they proberly had to do PE every day that proberly helped them a lot. Anyway they look great & should be proud.
DeleteWonder if Meri's goal is to go back to school and finish her degree? Hope so! That sure would be a step forward for her.
ReplyDeleteShe would be so much happier as a person if she went back to school and finished her degree. Or even if she just got a job or volunteered her time somewhere. She needs to get out of her toxic home environment and focus on something other than Kody, who/what Kody is doing, and Mariah.
DeleteWe don't even know for sure if she even finished HS. People can say anything they want about school & jobs don't make is so.
DeleteIt's no telling what Mary is hoping to achieve in the spring of 2015. If I were to make guess though I would bet she is hoping to have Janelle and Christine run off by then lol. I think she just tweets all this stuff just to make them wonder what she's plotting against them now. Could be that she's got her eye on the next woman for ole Kody too. Either way it's bound to be something to take a jab at the least favorite sister wives.
DeleteI just gained a whole lot of love for jenelle! I love doctor who!
ReplyDeleteI know right! I saw that and was soooo jealous that I didn't think of it!
DeleteOur family loves Doctor Who! That was a great costume! My son went as the 9th doctor. When I showed him that picture he began plotting his Who costume for next year. Do either of you have plans for watching the 50th with friends or a group?
DeleteI'm definitely watching the 50th with friends! Wish I had been that costume. That really was the scariest epidsode! And kudos to your son for being the 9th! He's my favorite. :)
DeleteI'm a huge Dr. Who fan! I hate that I have to give them props for a super awesome costume. That episode was so freaky that it is still an inside joke around out house!
DeleteIt was so much fun having my family come to the Autism Speaks walk today and having them meet some of my sisters!
ReplyDeleteIs is Aspyn talking about sorority sisters?
Yes she is talking about sorority sisters.
ReplyDeleteis robyn at the autism speaks walk? seems that would be a nice fit for her to do some charity or outreach. Given the poverty these people came from, and their current platform, one of them at least should be paying it forward
ReplyDeleteNot to mention, she says in a very early episode that Dayton has Aspergers which is a syndrome on the autism spectrum. So it would be something that would be personal to her family as well.
DeleteMaybe I'm reading too much into it, but I thought it was, ummmm, interesting that Aspyn said "my family", instead of "some of my family". I didn't look at the pic that closely but it seemed to be primarily Chrisine's bunch. Natch Kody was nowhere to be found.
DeleteReally love the kids and that the family has raised them well.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! The kids seem to be really awesome and Truley is so adorable.
DeleteThose kids are the true heroes and heroines of this sham-show.
DeleteThe older ones are to be congratulated for their good humor and tolerance of their parents' (notably their father's) greed and egotism.
The younger ones will hopefully be saved and mentored by the older ones.
Older one's will be out of house soon. We don't want Mariah setting an example for the children. She is a good girl ultra religion just confused.
Deleteenjoyed the tweets until sobby robby appeared. cant stand her!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou can just tell from her tweets how self-centered and neurotic she is. I don't know how the other wives tolerate her.
DeleteI love this! I think she is a complete fake and phony. She comes off cruel to Janelle and Christine.
DeleteIts really sound that kody wasnt in the family picture but if it was for meri he probably would be there. I feel bad for christin shes in so much denial about their relationship
ReplyDeleteThat really stood out to me too, that Kody wasn't in the picture. He misses out on so much because he is pulled in 4 different directions. Nothing is going to change the fact that he has 6 kids with Christine and only 1 with Meri and Janelle. He needs to go where his kids are.
DeleteI can understand why Christine is so depressed.
Kody has 6 with Janelle, not one.
Delete"Kody gets silly when he drinks too much caffeine"... seriously? It sounds like Janelle is talking about a child instead of a grown man with 4 women and 17 kids. They better limit him to drinking green goo water from now on.
ReplyDeleteBoston Corgi,
DeleteI so agree with you !!!
This season Janelle appeared to enthusiastically take on the "prop Kody" role.
Pitiful and embarrassing for a woman and mother of 6 to put her energies into fronting for a man (debatable) who has no job, swings from McMansion to McMansion, and who actively plays the part of the buffoon.
Sorry, Team Janelle folks.....she is no Mensa candidate or financial wizard.
Regarding the comment about Kody and caffeine. So that's TWO things they do in their "religion" that Mormons don't do. Polygamy and caffeine.
ReplyDelete(Yes, I know there are a lot more than two, but these are two they admit to.)
Yes isn't it interesting AZ Christian, that polygamy was vital to keep but the health laws of Mormonism were not. Pretty telling
DeleteBack a million years ago when I was growing up in the lds church a woman came from Salt Lake City and gave a talk and pointed out that the anti caffeine issue really dealt mostly with coffee and tea because "If you weren't allowed to have any caffeine you couldn't have chocolate." That made it all feel extra silly that we were splitting hairs about where our caffeine came from. I recall that the church only ever had non caffeine sodas around though, orange or root beer.
DeleteDo they also drink? Or was Meri's wet bar just for virgin margaritas?
DeleteMeri has already addressed the "what's the wet bar for question" on a show. She claims it's simply for more counter space.
DeleteProbably for the green goo literature when they hold introductory meetings to rope people into it at Meri's house.
Then again, it could be Kodouche and Sobbyn are sneaking in and putting it to other uses when Meri's gone from the house. He has a key to all the houses you know. (Hanging out at Meri's house would provide them with privacy from Sobbyn's kids - not that hiding her sex life from her children ever was a concern of the purity princess.)
Concerning the AUB and polygamy (I am sorry, this isn't about the tweets above)... In the Brown memoir, Robyn talks about the time she met Kody at a church dance (if I remember correctly), and she claims she had a "spark" between them. I find sad AUB that claims to have "good polygamy", creates social functions and opportunities for married men to browse among women. How sad, degrading, and emotionally traumatizing to know that everywhere you go (and even at church functions) your husband is always "looking". Here is another example of abuse and it is within ALL polygamy. (I will gladly paint it with a "broad brush.")
ReplyDeleteIf you had read or seen the complete information Kody was at a party at a friends house with his wifes when one of his wifes (Meri) told Kodi "You should go ask her to dance". Only then he did and the courtship began between Robyn and Kody...with the encouragement of his wifes.
DeleteHey MS, Sending prayers & positive healing energy your way! Hope ur surgery & recovery goes well :) (((Hugs)))
ReplyDeleteNote to those who design costumes for adult women- Really? I am married and a mother. Why would I want to show off that much of my body?
ReplyDelete— Robyn Sullivan Brown (@LuvgvsUwngs) October 30, 2013
When Robyn tweeted this I replied with the comment listed below. She immediately blocked me, but it gave me a good laugh. She wants the world to think she is such a reserved, godly wife and mother, but the internet tells the world a different story. Saying it is so, does not make it so!
"@maggie_may49: Really? This coming from a women who owed Victoria Secret $1000 in 1999 and did not pay the debt I might add.
Maggie Mae49,
DeleteYou got that right !!!
Sobbin is the poster girl for hypocrisy and self-promoting.
How do these people sleep at night????
Great tweet Maggie_May best laugh of the day.
DeleteExcellent Point Maggie
DeleteLOL!!! BURN!!!
DeleteHaha, that is great. I love when I get blocked from people like this. Hey, we all make mistakes but what bugs me about this family is that they are unwilling to admit their mistakes, particularly Robyn.
DeleteHaha this just made my day
DeleteGood for you for telling her like it is maggie_ may49!I bet it took all of a hot minute for her to block you lol.
DeleteYou tell her Maggie May thats so true. I too thought Mormons didn't have caffeine. They have their own religion I guess
DeleteShe left your tweet cause I laughed when I saw it. Good for you. Does the 5 adults block u or just her. All she does on twitter is complain, wine & talk dirty to Kody. He dumb as a rock goes over his head
DeleteRobyn - "I am a married woman."
ReplyDeleteHate to tell you this dear, but you're not.
Ooooooh ex AUB... SNAP... You nailed. it.
DeleteLIKE
DeleteRobbyn and Meri both wear their clothes very tight thus not being modest. If you can see every bump, lump, toe and more then you do not understand modesty. Halloween? Really? Mormons and AUB dress up at Halloween? A lot of churches dont do halloween. Funny that these really moralistic modest women dress up and encourage this practice. Again makes me think they dont really belong to any faith except that of pleasing oneself.
ReplyDeleteAnd Janelle thought wearing a Catholic nun's habit was a funny Halloween costume. There are so many other interesting costumes out there. Why do something disrespectful to other people's religion by mocking their religious garb? Seems kind of hypocritical to me - given all the whining they do about being persecuted for their religious beliefs.
DeleteMormons do Halloween. I should know I am one
Deletethe first or second season, they had an entire EPISODE about Halloween including going to a pumpkin farm. zzzzz.
DeleteWe are heading into mid November, why isn't the Christmas ornament out already? Not that I would ever buy it, but if you were going to buy a Christmas ornament online, wouldn't you be ordering it soon? I see the ornament being announced Dec. 15th or so, with delivery by Christmas for only an extra $40.
ReplyDeleteOooooh..... Freya... we should really ask twisted sister to design some prototype ornaments for us to enjoy in the meantime... Any ideas out there?
DeleteInstead of three Wiseman have just Kody on an ornament
DeleteHow about instead of a Virgin Mary ornament a Virgin Robyn since her purrrrity can be brought back. Maybe they'll have some ornaments shaped like cookies.
DeleteI wonder if they'll have any Hanukkah ornaments or perhaps Kwanzaa will be celebrated this year in the Brown household.
I really think Meri looks very pretty in the picture of her and Kody with John Payne. Kody though looks like the jerk he is haha :)
ReplyDeleteWay to work your creativity, there, Robyn! I've looked through the costume sections of pattern books in fabric stores, and they are CRAMMED with perfectly modest women's costumes. What about Christine's Rosie the Riveter outfit? Be Raggedy Ann. Be a southern belle or a clown or a poodle or a hobo or Nancy freakin Reagan. Be a tree, for crying out loud.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she should stop looking for a costume at Frederick's of Hollywood?
Speaking of costumes, interesting that Janelle was dressed as a nun--because making fun of other religions is hilarious! I'll bet if she saw someone dressed in a wacky Mormon temple outfit, with the little apron and flat chef's hat/veil with chin strap she'd think that, too, was a great Halloween getup.
Wonder whose McMansion they'll celebrate Thanksgiving in this year? I imagine Meri's is the default go-to house since the wet bar is there. We know who will be the biggest turkey there, anyway......... Kodgobbler Brown. Sample Thanksgiving menu for them:
DeleteTurkey (Purchased at Honey Baked store by Kody with Janelle's credit card).
Green bean casserole (Robyn will bring since she's too pretty to cook and it only involves opening up cans).
Stuffing (We'll leave this to Christine since it involves actually cooking skills)
Marshmallow covered yams (Meri will run out and buy these from a deli but pretend she made them ala the caramel contest incident)
Pumpkin Pie - Janelle will have her mother bake these for her to bring.
Kody will let Sobbyn Robyn pull the wish bone with him the next day since she's the only one whose wishes he cares about.
I'm catholic I didn't take offence to it. Maybe she wishes she was in a more normal religion. She made a pretty nun. Not disagreing with u. JMHO.
DeleteLOVING Plural Ants' menu post, that's awesome! We better throw a cookie in there for Sobbin' and Kody to enjoy together!
DeleteCat Loaf.... a cookie would make sense. I was also thinking perhaps Kodouche and Sobbyn could share a can of whipped cream... I'll leave the rest to everyone's imagination...
DeleteI really believe with all my heart, that sister wives blog is getting the truth out about polygamy. When I first came to blog I was shocked at all mean things said about the Browns (though from day 1 I didn't like Robin). I read recommended books, watched any movies didn't post till I knew what I was talking about. I started reading 2011, then I was in medical induced coma for month and 1/2. Well you can imagine all the reading I had to catch up on. I read my blog almost everyday hope this is ok to say I pray to God that he helps these people weather they want it or not. MS hope your surgery goes well. Hope to see more of your writings that I can gobble up (get it thanksgiving). I still think some people go overboard, but live & let live.
ReplyDeleteJust watched The Roloff's second episode of their new season where they deal with the death of their beloved dog.....very different from the infamous scene where Kody digs his dog's grave with the the dog waging his tail a few feet from him.......leaves me speechless
ReplyDeleteWhen r they on I love them
DeleteThe Roloffs' new season is on TLC, Little People, Big World...I don't know when its on, I watch everything online, don't even own a tv anymore...... Why don't you just look it up? Its a big, big, world out there and posters don't necessarily live in the States....
DeleteI'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but I've always wondered WHY VEGAS? Even if we buy into the story the Browns tell about having to run from from the law in Utah, I don't understand why they would choose Sin City. It just isn't a great fit for people who claim to be religious and if I were a fundamentalist polygamist (or belonged any ultra-conservative religion), Vegas would be the last place I would move my kids. I don't know much about state laws, but if Nevada is more tolerant of polygamy, could they not have chosen someplace in the state that isn't close to Las Vegas. It would also have made it easier to purchase more affordable housing and perhaps even build a large home to accommodate them all.
ReplyDeleteMy theory is it is where the D-List celebrity agents are located who can get them the cheesy personal appearances so they can make money without having real jobs. I also have thought for a long time (although other people have disagreed with me) that what do you bet the film crew filming them finds it easier to fly in/out of and stay in Las Vegas. I mean really - what was there to do in their small town in Utah?
DeleteI wondered that also, not a place for fundy in any religion. I think it has something to do thats where Lovly prude Robins family lives. Plus plgys have lots of business's there. I could be wrong at leadt onece a year
DeleteI think that was all storyline. I've read Carolyn Jessop's books and Rebecca Musser's book, and it doesn't appear that Utah or Colorado actively go after polygamists at all. The only reason Texas did was because they found proof of child abuse (even that got messed up because of the size of the situation) I think they really are part of Jeffs' clan, and are doing the 'good' PR jig, so the public doesn't see the prairie dresses or underage marriages or child or spousal abuses, and let it go. That makes more sense than Utah going after one small potatoes family when there are thousands more in the state that would net bigger rewards if they were to be prosecuted, based simply on the plural marriage issue (you know, like the ones with underage brides? Just sayin) I agree about Vegas, too - who would CHOOSE to live there when they are supposedly soo conservative, much less broke?!
DeleteSimple. Cuz Kody wanted to live in Vegas. He was enamored with it. It's ALL about what Kody wants. What is best for the family or the children is of no consequence. Although IMO the kids are better off in the Vegas public school system but that was not a consideration I am sure.
DeleteI am so over this patriarchy crap--in all religions!
VIV
DeleteInteresting thought, I did not think of it that way. But I think if they were with Jeffs they would at least try to look a little more modest.
Vegas is actually very conservative, once you get off the strip. Loads of LDS here too.
Deletefunny you should ask CG, i just caught a video of the Brown;s in an interview with Robyn saying Kody wanted tomove to Vegas, that they vacation there alot. They loved Vegas. Its a 6 hour drive back to Lehi,,They are livin the Vegas dream, arnt they?
ReplyDeleteLas Vegas isn't only home to the Browns. Flora Jessop wrote about contacts there helping people escape the FLDS. An article about a Jacob Jessop indicated he might have brought his wives and children to live in Las Vegas as well.
ReplyDeleteHere is the link:
http://www.8newsnow.com/Global/story.asp?S=4937132 (Jacob Jessop apparently moved his family nto Las Vegas, built additional buildings on the land without approval... and is a licensed building contractor from Colorado City. That makes him FLDS). Flora Jessop also wrote about polygamists and escapees from the FLDS living in Las Vegas.
Okay, so I had to google and see these temple outfits for myself. Bless their hearts. But it does provide another income stream for a Church that appreciates wealth.
ReplyDeleteNo state taxes. They are saving a TON in taxes. Also, there is actually a pretty big LDS population here. Vegas, in general, is very tolerant. It's so big and diverse that you almost are certain you can't be discriminated against (by schools, any kind of company, etc. We do have racists and intolerant individuals but that's the extent of it.)
ReplyDeletePersonally my opinion for the scariest Dr who episode is anything involving the weeping angels...
ReplyDeleteThe episode where Solomon was born is disturbing. I'm re-watching it now. KODY justifies the gross kiss with Meri as "being engaged" and that it makes for a more loving environment. HE THEN REFERENCES how when Christine was in labor with Truly he was off kissing Robyn, and concludes that all of them "love eachother". SAME EEPISODE MERI is making comments about a.) She doesn't have a close relationship with any of her sisterwives but does with Robyn, b.) How Janelle won't get up in the middle of the night when King Solomon is born and Meri isn't surprised, c.) How she wasn't really excited about Truly being born and didn't act the same way with Truly's birth as she did with King Sol's impending birth. HOW CAN THEY ACT SO PASSIVE ABOUT THE DIVISION OF THE WIVES AND HOW MUCH THEY REALLY DISLIKE ONE ANOTHER? I think Koleen was right "sister wives hate each other". Robyn's after birth remarks about Hunter are hideous, and LOL at Meri buying five outfuts and a giraffe and putting them in her craft/junk closet to "make room" for King Sol. Where are clothes for Truly? I cannot stand their cruelness. Christine said earlier in the episode that she had previously blamed Robyn for being Kody's favorite wife --she hit the nail on the head! How Christine was treated during Truly's birth was completely different than what happened with King Sol's birth. So sad.
ReplyDeleteThey don't like each other...and in no way shape or form can they deny it. The "Tell All" with Natalie Morales pretty much summed it up. You can't tell me that living closer together...an ear shot away or peeking through their blinds have made them "SO HAPPY". The little "marriage encounter" they took at the end of the last season confirms that they are for sure no more happy now then 3 years ago or 20 years ago when Kody married Jenelle, then Christine.

ReplyDeleteThanks that was an interesting read, although the author mentioned nothing that hasn't been noted multiple times in this forum. Now I'd like to read an analysis of the type of personality that is drawn to being a one of many wives.
DeleteI once said to my mother that I'd rather be single the rest of my life than with an asshole and she said "Really?! I wouldn't" so I have a hint of what type of person would accept that kind of treatment but would love to know more.
Interesting article! Thanks for posting! It's interesting to see an "outsider's" perspective is very similar to those that we discuss on the blog.
DeleteFrom the article:
Delete".....observe closely Kody’s reactions when any of the four women express their hurt feelings or voice any negative opinions. You’ll notice that his usual sunny, happy-go-lucky expression becomes instantly replaced by a focused, almost predatory, stare. "
In other words...Kody has eyes like a rodent.....flat, tiny and beady. :))
Single is better than putting up with an asshole any day!
DeleteThanks for posting these, I don't go to twitter. Yes, I think we've all learned that Kody has become a narcissist. But what man wouldn't become one following the religion? It would be hard not to be one.
ReplyDeleteStill not seeing an ornament on MSWC, but they do have a line of "holiday" jooolry... Same pooter-looking stuff as always. http://www.mysisterwifescloset.com/category_s/1830.htm
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there is a time when none of them know where Kody is...I could just see it and imagine them all getting worked up and wondering if he went to find # 5.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the current situation in the cuddlesac is like, but we know that when they lived in the rentals, the wives didn't really communicate a whole lot among each other, they lived very separate lives. We also know that they do not decide the "rotation", but that Kody is the one deciding the rotation.... so back in the rental days for sure Kody could be spending the night with a vegas hooker and none of them would have a clue! That must be a lot harder now, now that they all live together in that cuddlesac!
DeleteRobin always knows where he's at. She knows everything lol.
DeleteSister Wives season 4 is now on Netflix! yeah!
ReplyDeleteFunny Tweet on it:
ReplyDeleteTrevor Ross
America: A nation in which a television series entitled "The Sister Wives" has released four seasons to terrorize it's own population.
So, here's my thing about the man having all the power. Let's just say that the man dies and goes to hell...then the wives are called to hell to be with him? Or, let's say he dies and goes to planet Kody...and once there, he's like thinking he doesn't want Meri...does he just not call her?
ReplyDeleteWhat if he has so many wives he can't remember all their names and innocently forgets to call one of their names? And yeah that would suck if your husband doesn't call your name if he doesn't want you... Must be the reason for "keep sweet"and all the catering to the husband.
DeleteI hope that Christine realizes that working mothers connect with their children just as much as stay at home moms, if they really work on it. Look how much Maddie is like her mom!
ReplyDeleteI think the fear Christine has of working, has more to do with the fear of the outside world, of different opinions, of being convinced to leave (remember, even her own mommy left polygamy) than with the fear of she and her brood not bonding...
DeleteI think Christine is just too lazy to take a job outside the home. Either that or she's just scared to death of alarm clocks as well as toasters.
DeleteChristine uses the words ":not safe" a lot along with "too much work" I wonder if she considers being on the show and couch sessions too much work, Maybe she thinks having Kody as a husband lol too much work, so therefor she doesn't try. She did say in one episode that their relationship was discussed that she just quit trying, it was just too much work. When Kody calls her a "princess" I wonder how he defines princess.
DeleteI'm gonna cut Christine some slack because let's face it - Janelle had effectively a stay-at-home second Mom watching her kids when she was working outside the home. Who does Christine have at this point? Given the relationship the wives have with one another, she does not have the same kind of support.
DeleteReal love takes patience, constant nurturing and work. It depends on commitment and strength. It sometimes takes self-sacrifice. Psychopaths can tempt us with instant fulfillment, instant commitment, instant passionate love that require no work, because we’re “meant for each other,” because this is “the love of our lives”. This promise is not only a false and dangerous illusion, but also rests upon a fundamental repudiation of true love and of reality, flaws and all.
