(Mod feel free to delete that ) But perhaps Thorvald should warn Virginia that fresh green salad is not a good idea during a 'food-poisoning' outbreak, even if it is prepared in his portable kitchen! Smelling salts for WriteRat please.. IP Logged

If Thorvald was awake he might have warned her... As for the bacterial follies all I can say is trust me... I actually am a microbiologist. No kidding. My next story will make good use of that...

My own knowledge of microbiology is limited but practical, acquired by virtue of being a mother-of-two! Looking forward to the tale.. IP Logged

Pediatric vaccines were my career. Say what you want about warf rats and insects, but parents know that kids are the ultimate disease vector. Not in my story though... No sentient or nano-bot bacteria. Too many copyrighted stories in that direction - besides, microbes are plenty capable of decimating a population without any technological edge. Almost as if by design... It'll be a while before it arrives here though. Moving again... Moo IP Logged

A GM bug will turn up in one of my tales, sooner or (much) later. But it's the aliens who get worried. BTW.. why are there two of you?? IP Logged

Berglund Reply #7 - Jan 11th, 2017 at 1:31am Print Post Moo appears to have split in half . Attention Deborah, you have moo's new work listed twice in the list of contributing authors Go look. Snow, skip the smelling salts, and send chocolate tylenol. Our stuff will be delayed, health going south. All that hand sanitizer isn't good for us, superbugs thrive that way. I had a serious infection several years back, and the er doc lectured me about it. Besides, kids need to be kids, unfortunately that means mud chuckle.oh god plot bunny go the hell away.....im breaking out in plot bunnies stomp stomp is there peta for plot bunnies?=!×!= IP Logged
