#VSSMED #anvil Good morning. I can hear the sparrows sing, thanks in part to the anvil. It's 1 of 3 bones in the middle ear. They amplify sound then send it to the oval window. I have visions of a miniscule person who catches a sound, gives it a bash on the anvil & sends it on.

There is an immense body of water, a mazarine lake that could feed the village for decades, but every creature in there is infected with salmonella that cannot always be cooked out. #TalesNoir #WeirdVSS #vssmed #BraveWrite

#VSSMED #salmonella Good morning. When I was a child, I thought Salmonella was a couple, then as I grew I realised it was a food, something to do with fish. I love Salmon but not with Ella. This nasty bacteria will put you off food for a while. We wish you a happy, healthy Easter

I had an Aunt who was alive for both the Spanish Flu and Covid; she was too young remember the first and too senile to appreciate the last pandemic. #TalesNoir #vssmed #WedsStory

#VSSMED #Spanish Hi, today we're getting in my time machine, mind the door. The destination is March 1919, as the soldiers demob, there's no work for them. Extended families are crammed in houses or sleeping rough, everyone is exhausted. The Spanish flu is started by a bird.

#VSSMED #Cotards Good morning, word wranglers. Today's prompt is a syndrome where the sufferer believes they're dead or have vital organs missing. I look forward to seeing the stories you craft. Have a great week TTFN.

The band, a poor man’s KISS, played the music so loudly that even the deaf could hear, but it didn’t mask the lethargy of their performance. #vssmed #WedsStory #WriteMap² #Vss365

He can barely reach his toes, without falling on his face; is it a bad back or a big belly? I am not anticipating a fun day at work. #WriteMap #vssmed #WedsStory #1linewed

#VSSMED #toe Good morning folks, today we're talking toes. They're underrated but important for balance. I don't know about you, but they make great radar, because if I stub one I know I've gone too far, usually accompanied by a warning howl. Have a great week, TTFN, GB.

#VSSMED #deaf Good morning. Doctors now do cheek swabs on newborn babies, which they put in a new device to check it for a particular gene. If the baby has that gene & they're given Gentamicin antibiotics, it can cause them to go deaf. The hearing of 20 babies was saved last year

#VSSMED #hiccup Good afternoon scribblers, I had a hiccup today which is why I'm late dropping the prompt. Hiccups are usually innocuous and go away on their own but prolonged bouts of them could be caused by medication. I always get them when I get exhausted. TTFN, GB

#VSSMED #calf Good morning, wordsmiths. I once had a shapely calf, lost my mojo, drunk many a carafe. Now I need to exercise a gogo, before my legs look like Ermintrudes.

#VSSMED #sex On this day in 1925, in Missouri, Virginia Johnson nee Eshelman was born. She researched sexuality & sexual dysfunction. At the Masters & Johnson institute that she founded in the 1960s, she treated troubled couples with sex therapy. A woman ahead of her time. TTFN

As a fighter he was a maverick, with the ability to hammer his opponents, but he has been known to faint at the sight of blood~ #TalesNoir #WeirdVSS #vssmed #WedsStory

@The_Scribblings Brilliant, i love Milton Jones. We saw him perform a few years ago and he was fantastic, I cried with laughter.

@vssmed Well, unfortunately, I can’t take credit. The joke belongs to Milton Jones, i just repurposed.

#VSSMED #jaundice Good morning folks. Today we're talking jaundice, which is caused by a build up of Bilirubin in the body. It makes the skin and whites of the eyes appear yellow, which is ok if you're a Minion, otherwise you need to see a doctor. Have a wonderful week, T.T.F.N.

@The_Scribblings It took me a few minutes, lol. I thought you were being serious. Brilliant 👏 👏

@vssmed My niece had jaundice when she was born. I remember the first time I saw her, all small, round and yellow. Her parents named her Melanie.

#VSSMED #hammer Good morning scribes. Today, it's hammer time. Doctors do use different hammers for different things but i was thinking of the reflex hammer. The little hammer that looks like you should use it to break up toffee but they use it to tap your knee. TTFN, GB.

Not too hard to justify exterminating the demented teacher, both jaundiced and odious, but I do not think we should be condoning it. #horrorprompt³ #BraveWrite #vssmed

#VSSMED #prostate Good morning word wranglers. Today we're discussing an essential walnut sized gland that sits behind a man's bladder. This pesky bit of kit controls urine and semen flow as it circles the urethra. There's now a blood test for Prostate Cancer, guys. Get checked.
