I’ve been friends with V for six years now.

She is such an incredible human who has been through the ringer—escaping her ex-husband in Ho Chi Minh, leaving behind her teaching career and entire family, reuniting her sons through a years-long process and enrolling them in university here, starting a nail salon, selling the salon at a huge loss, her husband of ten years leaving her…

She’s experienced a lot of trauma and has valiantly fought for her and her family through it all. When we first became friends in 2020, we mainly used Google Translate. Now, she’s conversationally proficient!

Throughout our friendship, she’s shown so much grit and resilience, but she seems tired lately. Life has been rough for a long time now, and I’m worried about her mental and emotional health.

She agrees, but she believes that seeing a Vietnamese doctor would be best because she can best explain everything (symptoms and her day-to-day) in her native language.

I’m here to ask for a huge, niche favor to the DFW community: do you know any doctors who speak Viet?

Thank you in advance for your help!

For context I have been living in west dallas, trinity groves area and have hated it so far. I moved here back in june and my lease won’t be up unfortunately until may- I am trying to find somewhere for me and my dog to move! Right now I have a roomate and we live in a house in a neighborhood which is what I’d call less than desirable- I work near love field and would like to move out to the suburbs either north or northeast while maintaining a reasonable commute to work each day. Do you all have any suggestions for good neighborhoods? I am looking at either a condo or apartment ideally I would have some kind of yard for my dog but not very picky just want somewhere safe and reasonable for someone in their 20’s. Thank you all!

I live in Dallas and often get Thai and Asian Fusion. I recently had to be in Arlington for a business meeting and my crew went to a place called Thai House. The Thai Basil Stir fry was so good that there that I felt like I had been missing out for a few years in Dallas. I'm looking for new Thai places to try that make excellent versions of this basic dish. Preferably Dallas but open to near Dallas too.

Edit: fixed grammar and punctuation in two places.

My gf and I are planning on moving to the Dallas metroplex in a year or so. We're currently in the Texarkana area.

I'm currently en route to get my FAA A&P certification in August, so I'm hoping to work either at the DFW airport or get higher-tier pay at six flags in Arlington.

My gf is transferring to UNT next fall.

We're both big concert goers and love the club-style venues in deep ellum

With that in mind, do y'all think it would be better for us to get an apartment in Dallas, Denton, or somewhere else in the metroplex?

Are there any really solid apartment complexes we should try to shoot for?
