Just took some pictures for posterity of the medications Melody has had to take so far: The one that comes in a pen is the Follistim — it’s for telling the body to produce as many eggs (from follicles) as possible, to increase the likelihood that one of them will get fertilized. The process with [ Read More ]
This past week was the beginning of the cycle where Melody will be on hormone medication (injections that I have to give her) to induce what they call “super-ovulation.” The medication is expensive, but mostly covered by insurance (for now). If we go with full IVF, then the medication is not covered…which is BS if [ Read More ]
Today Melody and I were at White Lake for her annual family reunion. We spent the day in the water, then napping, and hanging out with our niece Teagan (Melody’s brother’s child). I played golf in the morning though, and although my shoulder and neck are still hurting (the reason why i didn’t play soccer [ Read More ]
Today I gave blood at the NC State blood drive (put on by the Red Cross). I give blood pretty much as often as I can, but I have skipped the last couple of donations just because I was waiting to give at this drive in particular. They wanted to try and reach 500 pints. [ Read More ]
You now know how that you don’t get down off a horse….you get down off a duck. But do you know how you get down off a duck? Damn…if you have problems getting down off a duck, you are either a pretty short person, or they’ve somehow invented giant mutant ducks that require some kind [ Read More ]

I wrote this blog post on July 9th, regarding Peanut Butter disproving Evolution. Today, I received an email from my brother, who [ Read More ]
Link to original tweet here: http://twitter.com/jasonmustian/status/21337496786 Pretty spot on if you ask me. And then from Keith Olberman: “This is America damnit. And in America when someone come for your neighbor, for his Bible, or his Torah or his Athiest Manifesto, or his Quran you and I do what our fathers did and what our [ Read More ]
well not really….but i saw this image today: It got me thinking of why there haven’t been any movies (that i know of), that use this as a story line. I mean…there’s been the one’s based on going back and trying to kill hitler to stop World War II……but there’s never been a movie that [ Read More ]
Oh Glorious Day…..it’s the start of a new season. New sense of optimism…..hopes, dreams, anything is possible today. Now the question is……how long will that last. For me…a Liverpool fan, I am usually expecting great things, and it usually lasts until Christmas….when it becomes almost mathematically impossible for them to win the league. This year…I [ Read More ]
