Stories of the world

60 YEAR OLD WOMAN GIVES BIRTH TO TWINS
Wow, in Calgary, Canada a 60 year old woman gave birth to twins. After going through invitro fertilization she was able to get pregnant. Although having children this late in life isn't unheard of, it's unbelievable. My mother is 57, and I could not imagine her having another child, I don't think she could psychically handle it. I mean there is a lot of things that come along with being 60 years old, chance of arthritis, heart attack and even stroke. There are so many medical problems that could occur, and when having a baby I believe you should be in some sort of good psychically condition. Not only was this lady pregnant but she had twins, which means double the trouble. As long as knew she was ready to be a mom again I think it would all work out, I just hope she knew what she was getting into with having twins at such a late age.

KMART RECALLS BAKED GOODS
There is a risk of salmonella in some of the baked goods in KMART. Some of them have been linked to Hickory Harvey Foods peanut products which have been contaminated. So doughnuts, peanut butter cake, and single layer Carmel apple cake can be brought back to the store and recalled. This whole salmonella outbreak has sickened 575 people in 43 states, and at least 8 people died. There has been 1,300 products in Georgia's processing plant recalled alone. It's unreal how one product(peanut butter) can cause so much damage and chaos when something has gone wrong with it. I haven't even dared to eat any type of peanut butter, I'd rather not risk it at all!!

  1. That is nuts, a 60 year old woman!? Yikes.. So hopefully she makes it to 81 years old to make sure those kids are all grown up and can make it on their own. It is almost as bad as that lady with the 14 kids! Oh man oh man..
    And the peanut butter thing sucks! I love me some peanut butter. Hopefully it'll all clear up soon though.

  2. I don't see a problem with this woman having babies at her age. If she went through the work to get invitro then that means she is ready to be a mom. My grandfather is 68 and he is a single parent a five year old. This wasn't a planned thing, but he makes it work and he is a great dad. As long as the parents are good parents that is all that matters. There are many parents in the world that don't don't take care of thier kids the way they should. I don't think age is an issue as long as you have the will and want.
