    What has Hakkes's mom been doing?

    Keeping her from going to the doctor and having her seek out OTC medication for it and do stupid stuff like change her wardrobe etc. If my memory serves.

    She is in college. She is also financially dependent on her parents.

    Her parents also attempt to rule every aspect of her life with a vice like grip and attempt to curb her freedoms at every turn.

    uh you don't just not treat MRSA

    shit girl that thing KILLS people

    Yes well, her mother has been a rather serious impediment in her getting proper treatment.

    Hopefully this will no longer be the case.
    They will both end up in the hospital and her mother will later end up in jail. "Hopefully this will no longer be the case" just seems like a weightless thing to say when two people are harboring a low-level biohazard which has harrowing mortality rates even when not comorbid but in a hospital setting. Without care, it's just ... it's too scary to think about.

    And I'm not sure if all MRSA infections fall under this, or even any, but there are modern-day infections for which refusing treatment or failing to seek treatment is a federal offense in the United States

    you don't always get to choose

    Well, seeing as I don't really have a clue on what MRSA is I'll take you word for it.

    Let's hope Hakks takes some serious, immediate action then.

    Also my supervisor is an idiot, she criticized my sending out a message to drum up interest for the tabletop roleplaying game by telling me that I should just schedule it and hold the event. Just throw up a date and a time, because that's how these things work. :|

    True, but as I understand it she's not really at a place where she would be comfortable mentally/financially/etc to move out.

    Also I'm sure her folks would fight it tooth and nail.

    MRSA is methicillin resistant stapholococcus aureus.

    essentially a staph infection that is resistant to treatment.

    very widespread in hospitals due to the 'clean' environment.

    yal, tell me about your camera

    It's a Nikon D40. Entry-grade Nikon SLR, one of the cheapest you can get. Simple but dependable. To be fair, it has some flaws(no internal autofocus motor, for one), but it's a solid camera and I'd recommend it if you just want to dip your toes into the SLR world or don't have the cash for a bigger better one.

    However, you can easily get cameras its equal from Canon, or Pentax, or any other big brands. There aren't exactly a lot of BAD cameras made anymore. So try a few out and find one that works in your hands. I use Nikon primarily because I like the control system more than Canon's, not because I necessarily like their results better than a Canon. Things get murkier when you look at high-end or specialized focuses and functionality, or recent innovations, but the basics are solid for both the big boys.

    Okay, looking over the specs, it looks like it does everything I want. The ISO is a little different from what you can get with film (I have no experience with digital photography), but the sensor is good enough and it will record in RAW. I'm not sure autofocus is something I need or want, I prefer to do that myself anyway.

    Basically I'm looking for a cheap DSLR after having only used film and that looks like a good candidate.

    To dig this up, autofocus is pretty useful. Most modern lenses have the motors built in, but older lenses(very cheap, very good) or classics like the 50mm 1.8 don't. This could either be a small problem(landscapes, planned portraits, still life), or a bloody huge one(impromptu shots, sports shots, anything where you can't predict where someone will be).

    methicilin resistant staph infection, yeah

    it's mutant staph that is immune to most common antibiotics and an awful lot of the less common ones

    and it's evolving more resistences

    Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
    Produces many antigens
    resistant to every antibiotic but vancomycin derivatives
    the worst thing next to VRSA if you are immunocompromised
    if not immunocompromised it can still be an issue but it is treatable

    Yeah, competitive methicillin-resistant staph a

    usually presents noscomially, where mortality even with full supportive care is like 8%

    outside of a hospital environment, you essentially just roll the dice every day and whenever the mrsa wins the roll and outcompetes local flora you move nearer sepsis and death

    I mess this up sometimes but in the worst-case scenarios when they actually mess it up the only way that they ever mess it up is by sending me both what I said before I corrected myself and afterwards

    and I mean sure it costs a few extra bucks but it is hard to get angry.

    mentally: well that is dependent on you

    financially: get a job, stop posting on internet forums.

    etc: depends.

    I sent my mom an email the first week of college saying essentially "I'm not listening to you any more go fuck yourself" she was mad for maybe 3 months but now we have a great relationship and 3 months of no contact freshman year was the best 'bandaid pull' i can ever think of.

    you just have to be ok with being an ass sometimes.
