[QUOTE="Fran, post: 299670, member: 3"] marg's man, I know the feeling when you are suddenly aware that you are going back home. It doesn't always happen when we travel outside the US but every once in a while it grabs me and makes me appreciate what we have here. Life could have turned out very different if my folks didn't take a chance despite not speaking the language and very few job skills. This country has been very good to me. Opportunities came to us because we worked hard. My folks got the hard, underpaid jobs no one really wanted. They clung to those people like themselves and avoided the subtle prejudice that comes with not being a native born but it's home to me and I am always glad to get back to it. Sometimes the emotion of returning is overwhelming. As far as the commercial, when I clicked to have it start it crashed my browser so I'll skip and just believe you that it is wonderful. [/QUOTE]
