MRSA is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, a common bacterial infection in hospitals.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

P-C, I love (and am not surprised) that we both italicized S. aureus. IJS.

Yay! MERSA must have been her phone's autocorrect...
Surgeon was in, he's going to get my dad on the table on Monday to flush things out in there, I guess. Then they will discuss the GI problems.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh wait that guy in IT who lived in his van? Off the grid guy?
YES. He was so weird.
Walking a fine line between advice and unnecessary nervous-making, I believe MRSA is also very common on planes? So maybe shower between the airport and hospital.

{{{Nora}}} I'm so sorry. Tons of ~ma for your dad. I'm glad that you were able to figure out a way to visit him.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Seconding sumi's statement. That's got to be a huge relief for you, Nora.

For the record, smonster, those are not horrible things, just departments where troublesome cops on the Wire get stashed.(But it is pretty horrible the way the bosses give you what you don't want.) Nora, no MRSA is very good, but yuck.

OMG, I am crying right now.
I am perfectly happy freelancing, but you all know I loved teaching, especially at the charter school for Hispanic students.
A former student, who got pregnant at 16 when I was her teacher and with whom I've kept in contact and helped out in her college career, just emailed me.
She has to give a tribute speech about someone that has influenced their lives. She picked me, and need some info.
OMG, WATERWORKS. Happy waterworks, but I'm supposed to be working, and now I'm just sobbing in my office.
