George Carlin's Views on Aging
Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.
'How old are you?' ‘I'm four and a half!’ You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key.
You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.
'How old are you?' 'I'm gonna be 16!' You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life! You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony. YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!
But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?
You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50, and your dreams are gone....
But! wait!! ! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!
So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50, and make it to 60.
You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that, it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!
You get into your 80's, and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; 'I Was JUST 92.'
Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. 'I'm 100 and a half!'
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!
HOW TO STAY YOUNG
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever, even ham radio. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil’s family name is Alzheimer's.
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves Be ALIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love , whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
AND, ALWAYS REMEMBER:
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away"
IJESHA WOMAN DEVELOPED AMALA IN 1052 A.D IN ATAKUMOSA LOCAL GOVERNMENT, OSUN STATE !!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, from extensive and empirical research, it has been established that Amala and gbegiri are 100% Yoruba food. Amala was first prepared by Aduke agbedegbeyo omo onile ire, opomoja ilekan omo yakooyo , omo alokolaro of abule onipaki in Atakumosa local government in Osun state in 1052 in the days when Sango was the alaafin of Oyo and Oya was his wife. That was the very year Sango spat fire for the first time.
Gbegiri on the other hand was first prepared by Anike onibudo omo ajanlekoko, omo igi tin wo loko tin pa ara ile, omo Aja tin jin, tin pa ero ona. Omo Ajanaku tii mi igbo kiji kiji. She prepared gbegiri for the first time in 1156 at Tonkere village in Ibadan west local government Of Oyo state. That was the time Timi agbale olofa ina, okunrin bi okuta was the timi of Ede and his conflict with Gbonkaa of Oyo empire was at its peak.
The first portion of gbegiri was tasted by Alabi abolonjeku omo buje budanu of molete in ibadan . You guessed right. Abolonjeku happens to be one of the fore fathers of Adedibu the exponent of Amala politics. It was Abolonjeku of Molete that first combined the two when he visited Tonkere on one of his culinary related visits across the Oyo empire in 1156.
I had to go through this much pain to explain this before one inbred Rhesus Monkey abi Spectacle-wearing Orangutan will come on CNN to say that this yoruba specialty food originated in Futa-Jalon and was introduced to the Yoruba's by a white missionary woman and that the best version is made in Botswana.
Omo iya mi, e maa jamala lo . Ko sewu!

Patients often ask doctors questions to analyze the failure.
"Doctor, did I do something wrong?"
"Did the embryo fail to implant because I did not rest?"
"Did the doctor do something wrong?"
Patients are often desperate and will spend hours browsing the internet to try to find answers to their questions. A useful question however, would be what can be learnt from this failed cycle and based on this hard earned information what can we do differently the next time to increase chances of success. It is important to note that not all the issues that influence IVF success can be corrected but some can be addressed to help make the next cycle more likely to result in a pregnancy.
Some reasons why IVF cycles fail.
1. Age. Age of female partner is the most important factor in predicting IVF success. As women age, their eggs get older, fewer eggs are produced and the quality of eggs declines. This begins to happen when you are in your 30s and the decline accelerates once you reach 37. The chance that an IVF cycle using fresh non donor eggs will result in a live birth is, on average, almost 32% for a 35 year old woman but only 12% for a 41 or 42year female.
2. Embryo quality. Another reason is poor embryo quality. Usually embryos fail to implant and grow because they have chromosomal or genetic defects. Again older eggs are more likely to result in poor embryo quality.
3. Ovarian response. The ovaries respond to the fertility medications with production of multiple eggs, which is critical to the chances of conceiving with IVF. You are likely to have a poor response if you are over 37 and/or have high FSH or low AMH.
Steps to take before next IVF cycle.
1. Review records of your cycle carefully. If it's been a perfect cycle (grade A embryos, trilaminar endometrium of more than 8mm and an easy transfer), then often all one need to do is repeat until it works.
2. Tweak the superovulation protocol if follicles did not grow properly or the ovarian response was poor.
3. Change your doctor. If you have lost confidence in your doctor or if you find that after the failure your doctor is not being open or transparent and is not providing satisfactory answers, it is always a good idea to get a 2nd opinion to confirm if you are on the right track!.
4. Use donor sperm in cases of testicular failure and donor eggs in cases of poor ovarian reserve.
5. Many women will want to change the uterus when they encounter repeated IVF failure. It is important to note that the uterus is just a passive recipient and surrogacy does not help to improve pregnancy rates if the woman's uterus is normal.
Finally, if you need to, alter life style to improve your chances of succeeding at IVF. Stop smoking, don't drink alcohol or use drugs, eat a healthy diet, get enough rest and be kind to yourself and your partner. You are going through a stressful time with an exciting goal at the end.
