What do you want to see more of?

Other than changing our out of date web-decorations, what would you guys like to see more of? Picture? Rants? Movies? I feel like the site is getting kind of stale, and would love some suggestions!!

Thanks!

And so the frusteration continues...

I went to the doctor again today. Went into his office. Sat across from him and talked for half an hour and then left again. I still have no idea what's wrong. He's into natural medicine, which means that he thinks that an Applied Kinesiology Allergy test is going to be a good way to detect what I'm allergic to. From what I've been reading, AK (applied Kinesiology) is where they put foods in or NEAR your mouth, and then test the strength of different muscle groups, which are supposed to connect to your different organs. When your muscles test "weak" to a substance, then you have a "sensitivity." And when you test "strong" to something, then its a good food for you to eat.

The other thing that he'd like to do, is to do bio-resonance therapy on me, in hopes of curing my allergies. As much as I would love to believe this, I don't quite understand the procedure and am feeling quite skeptical, especially as it's going to cost 300 Euro out of pocket. I am remaining hopeful, however, because I realize that if I was in the states and got a typical skin allergy test, the doctor would simply tell me to avoid whatever it was that I tested positive for. This at least offers the hope of being able to eat again. I can't help thinking of these little yorkshire dog magnets that my grandma and grandpa used to have. I'd entertain myself for hours watching the dogs "chase" eachother around the table. All I've got to say is, how are yorkshire dogs going to let me eat donuts? I'd really like to know.

Even so, I left the office almost in tears. I'm so used to doctors visits being more about acting than about talking. This was all talking, no acting. Although the doctor is nice, it'd be great if we could actually accomplish something when I go to visit him. As for now, I am going to take a nap.
