Seriously, the only time I went to the dentist when I was a kid was when my grandmother took me on a trip to Britain at age 6. Going to the dentist was the first thing on the agenda. She had them pull any suspicious teeth and would go there herself to get her dentures replaced every 5 years or so. It cost less to take the trip than the dental work would've cost. Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes
Wow, it's more than just a bit of homesickness, but I get your "hint". I know also other European immigrants, who desperately would love to retire in the US and can't, because they are not allowed though they have lived here for their whole lives. But that's for another discussion.
