  1. As a person of Chinese ethnic descent: I give you all full permission to use whatever Chinese phrase or term you like.

    The fact that people will actually take that above as a serious statement and not an obvious joke is a problem.

    1. @gameragodzilla You know I meant to ask, what part of China is your family from if you don't mind my asking?

      1. @maiyannah My dad's side came from Szechuan and my mom's side came from Anhui.

        That's about the extent I know. Obviously being not that high class or rich, we didn't exactly keep many records of our ancestry.

        1. @maiyannah Nowadays a lot of my family on both sides are clustered in Beijing.

          Hence why I'm well aquatinted with the... Silent Hill esque air.

          1. @gameragodzilla I lived very briefly in Chengdu back when I worked in the corporate world, it was nicer than Shanghai by a considerable margin though still very urban compared to here.

            1. @maiyannah Ah neat. I've been there. My dad grew up in a small town called Neijiang. I've only actually been there once myself though.

              How was the food? Sichuan as a reputation for very spicy food. I quite like it. My dad, bizarrely, does not. lol

              1. @gameragodzilla Part of the reason I like the Mandarin is they have some of the things from there I like.  They made really nice ... I forget the name but like this spiced pork thing over soft noodles with a sauce that was just basically the best thing to happen to food.

                1. @maiyannah Ha nice. There's a place in my area that, every Chinese New Year, there's a major dinner that serves Sichuan food, though I don't remember if it had what you're talking about. I mainly ate a lot of spicy beef. heh

                  1. @gameragodzilla Next time I'm at the Mandarin I will take note of the name if I remember to lol

                    1. @maiyannah Cool, thanks. I'll see if I remember having it as pork on noodles describes many things. Heh.

                      1. @gameragodzilla Haha I guess so.  I actually plan to treat myself by heading there, never did for my birthday and its still there, but Ill let my new meds settle first in case they change what foods I can eat.

                        1. @maiyannah Fair enough. How was the doctor's visit btw? The new meds working better?

                            1. @maiyannah How you feeling now?

                              I guess it takes a while for the drugs to kick in but still

                                Sunday, 07-May-17 00:31:26 UTC from community.highlandarrow.com
                                1. @maiyannah Well that's an improvement

                                  Sunday, 07-May-17 00:33:22 UTC from community.highlandarrow.com
                                  1. @gameragodzilla Yep, at least there's that

                                    Sunday, 07-May-17 00:58:32 UTC from community.highlandarrow.com
                                    1. @maiyannah How about everything else? Are they working? Do they make you feel woozy?

                                      1. @gameragodzilla Too early to tell really if they'll have significant side effects but nothing that was like right away or anything.

                                        1. @maiyannah Well that does seem like a major improvement over the last ones. Hope it works out
