(Wtf did she even ask me that for if she was gonna dismiss it so quickly?)[/quote]

I work in IT so pretty much everybody is from all over the world.

Dismiss... dang you are sensitive.

Does your family live close... no they live in Pakistan. Oh cool, how often do you visit them. They are coming for the summer. I go every other year. 
or... My family lives in Puerto Rico so I go a few times a year. How is their home? Oh they are fine they have electricity and the kids are back to school but some of their friends had to move to the US to stay with family. 
Do you have siblings? One brother lives in London. He is a research scientist. Wow, nice... have you visited?

I look Hispanic but I am actually 1/2 Irish and 1/2 American Indian, my family is from PA. I have family near Johnstown do they live near there? Yes actually, they live in Altoona. [/quote]
