- The number of twins born in the United States has doubled in the last three decades largely as a result of fertility treatments, with one in 30 infants born in 2009 a twin, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Wednesday. (Reuters)
Wow, but that sounds like a real “Feel Good” story doesn’t it. In fact, I saw this older gentleman the other day at Canadian Tire and he had the cutest twin boys following him along, dressed in their Christmas pajamas under their snow suits. I said to him how cute his grand-kids looked. And that got me a funny look. “I’m not their grandfather, I’m their father” he replied.
Embarrassing or what. When I saw Marcelle and told her about this, she said she wasn’t surprised. Not because of my stupidity but that this was very common due to fertility procedures that are now common place.
And now Reuters confirms this with their story on twin births.
It is actually not a feel good story at all. This is another “Canary in the coal mine”

It is truly a sad state of affairs when the truth causes a controversy like this. The State of Georgia has taken the bold step of making some videos stating the truth about childhood obesity. The truth, it’s no fun being overweight.
But what is happening? People are complaining about the videos! Yup, drawing attention to the problem is considered politically incorrect. No solutions offered is the cry.
If it were easy, and solutions were just a matter of snapping your fingers, no one would be over-weight. but it does take work and it does take dedication AND IT TAKES EDUCATION. Read More …

That is a familiar sound I hear, especially from middle aged women. “I exercise every day. Pilates twice a week, weights twice a week and stair stepping on the other day. And I just can’t lose weight.”
If only exercise alone would take care of the weight issues, oh what a beautiful world this would be. But it just ain’t so. There is so much more to controlling your weight, especially as we hit middle age.
There is diet of course. This is front and center in the issue of weight. An… Click To Read More

The U.S. government paid researchers to modify the Bird Flu virus, to see it they could make it more virulent and easier to spread. That is what happens in Stephen King’s book and the virus, which leaks out of the lab, is called by the public, Sgt. Trips referring to the fact that the army developed this bug.
And guess what? In the real world of today, 2011, they did it. How serious is this development you ask? The United States government has taken the unprecedented step in having the two labs that made this super flu virus keep the details a secret. Now that they have it, they are afraid that… Read More

When it comes to a lack of ambition and no direction, today’s youth seem to have a strangle hold on this issue. Although what we define as youth keeps changing. From the teenagers whose favorite saying is “What ever” to the young adults who are discovering that they are not entitled to a good living.
As each generation grows up, it seems that the baby boomers had it best of all. Their parents had survived not just the Great Depression but World War II and the Korean War. The economy started on the greatest boom in the history of the world. Back then a high school diploma was a guarantee of a good job. And then the baby boomers grew up and suddenly you needed a college degree to get those good jobs. And now the children of the baby boomers are growing up and the goal posts have once again been moved.
There is no automatic job waiting for you just because you grew up in an affluent household. A high school diploma means
