CANADA DAY BARBECUE! / Grandma giving birth to twins?!
Bingo of the day so far:
INVERSED (80 points) - against Danny M.
Grandma, 70, gives birth to twins... WHAT THE HECK?!
A 70-year-old from Muzaffarnagar, India, became the world's oldest woman to give birth after she delivered twins Friday.
Omkari Panwar, the wife of a retired farmer, delivered the twins — a boy and girl — via Caesarean section.
Panwar, who has two adult daughters and five grandchildren, underwent in-vitro fertility treatment so she could produce a male heir.
Her husband, Charan Singh Panwar, 77, mortgaged his land, sold his buffaloes, spent his life savings, and took out a credit card loan to finance the treatment.
"At last we have a son and heir," he said. "We prayed to God, went to saints, and visited religious places to pray for an heir."
"We kept no stone unturned, and God has rewarded us. The treatment cost me a fortune, but the birth of a son makes it all worthwhile. I can die a happy man and a proud father."
Dr. Manny Alvarez, FOXNews.com's managing health editor, said there are numerous health risks to the women — and their babies — who decide to give birth late in life.
"This is an extremely problematic pregnancy," Alvarez said of Panwar. "The stress that is put on the heart, kidneys and liver put her life in danger. And the twin babies have the risk of not getting enough nutrients because the vascular system is so compromised on a 70-year-old womb."
I'm at the Brighouse Library now, and I just saw Suanne K., whom I used to know ages ago. (I also saw Amelia M. at the mall yesterday, with her baby son Xavier!) Talk about your blasts from the past! Certain people are being too loud for the library - UGH! I also just heard someone horking behind me - EW! Sent an email to Dylan using my old Yahoo address... I hope he got it! (Gmail was taking FOREVER to load last night at 11)
The Canada Day barbecue on Tuesday was great! Sam, Jon, and I discussed Subway's latest offering of a lobster sub - SO EXPENSIVE, OH MY! ($8.49 / $16.98, and $3 / $6 for extra meat) Joey, Citrus, Stanley, and others were trying to break into my dad's office - that proved unsuccessful, so they broke into Wai-Mui's instead. They needed something from there, heh. Stanley had a great shirt: "There's no excuse for laziness... but I'm working on one!" Danielle, Citrus, Sam, and I hit up the Superstore for ice - we found none, so we bought all nine bags at a nearby Chevron. The turnout was great after we moved the signs - Michelle advised us that they weren't visible at all. I had charge of a huge bowl of celery, and talked to a few new people from the neighborhood. (kids and parents, mostly)
Jon blasted Toby Mac from this huge speaker, some of us met Deb for the first time, we wished Phil a happy anniversary, and then we got laughs from Daniel as the unofficial speaker. ("nice translation job!") Later, Jon played some Canadian songs on guitar - no Celine Dion, but some Neil Young and Blue Rodeo was WAY better! We welcomed Vivian back from China - yay for hugs! Talked to Chalaine and Sheena about face painting, saw Andrea L. for the first time in ages, and generally had fun. Tony, Christon, Julie, Jeremy, Jon, Karen, Lincoln, Vivian, others, and I went to Little Bubble Tea House near T&T afterward - that was fun. While Jon and Tony went to a coffee shop to be antisocial for a bit (my brother's an extrovert!), I simply went home. It was nice to have a good meal - just don't go shopping after you drink wine. ;)

Hahaha. I had this at L.A. Grill once!
Edit: I got a sweet deal on a pillow and pillowcase at Sears - $6.99 for a jumbo pillow, and $4.99 for two pillowcases! Take THAT, Quilts Etc.! ($10 for a pillow, and $12 for two pillowcases...) Just seen while looking for pizza places in the phone book: PIZZA FROM HELL. Hahaha, that's great! What a business name... :D
