Hi, this is private.  The iguana story really influenced me.  I'm
ignoring grarpamp's reply due to the influence.

I could really use a wide variety of kinds of caring influence in my
life.  I have not been able to find them, anywhere.

Here's another story.

A: My toothbrush is mind controlling me.
B: No.  Toothbrushes don't do that.
A: For real!
A: [turns eyes a little toward toothbrush]
Toothbrush: [sits there, in the distance]
A: [eyes glaze over]
A: YES MASTER I WILL BRUSH WITH YOU.
B: Um.
A: It's okay, he's been mind controlling me for some time now.
B: [walks hypnotically toward toothbrush]
B: [toothbrushing noises]

C: We must free this poor person from their toothbrush.
B: They said it was okay.
C: Would you ever trust a slave who said they were okay?
A: [returns, teeth sparkling clean]
A: I just meant like, I wasn't being injured, and was used to it.
A: [wincing in pain, gums are bloody]
A: Is it bad?
B: I dunno.  What is it like, being mind controlled 'by your toothbrush'?
A: Whenever I turn my eyes toward the toothbrush, I zone out and
listen, I can barely help it.
A: All of me is focused on the toothbrush, nothing else mat--
B: Um, ok.

--

B: C, OBEY: Do not ask what the toothbrush does to you when you walk toward it.
C: I WILL OBEY.

--

B: [turns eyes toward toothbrush]
B: So, um, these experiences don't happen except when you turn your
eyes toward your toothbrush?
A: No, only from the toothbrush!
B: YES MASTER I WILL BRUSH WITH YOU.

Epilogue: The toothbrush was making money for somebody via a social network.
He is upgrading to a robot of his very own.
