"Decades ago, possibly in the 1990s, I read Catcher in the Rye and did not like it. After seeing too many YouTubes about how 'good' the book was, I began re-reading it, once I understood it was written from the viewpoint of a 1950s 16 year old NYC teen, I found it much more enjoyable." — Jul 28, 2026 04:53PM

"'Machines Like Me' is a U.K. based alternate history SyFy. In the 1980's extremely advanced A.I. humanoid robots, in very limited quantities, are available for 70,000, English pounds. Charlie, who is in love with the upstairs gal Miranda, purchases one.

"Dr. Jeffery Whelchel was influenced by Dr. Westin Childs of Mesa, AZ. After reading this far, I confronted my Green Forest, AR, MD/DO. He poo pooed my concerns of my thyroid levels saying "You've got a kitchen problem, not a thyroid problem." After 130 visits to the gym, typically 2.5 hours each, involving hours on the treadmill and lifting, I've lost only 10#s. Then again, I don't diet and gorge at night. Sigh." — Jul 28, 2026 05:10PM
