Do you get teary eyed when you say 'my State'?

It just occurred to me. Is it a parochial thing? Maybe many Brits are like
that. I don't know. I have lived nearly all my life in countries away from
my original home. Perhaps that is the difference. I can only speculate.

My likes and dislikes depend on how I am treated. No other reason.

There are many people here that I really like, but it has nothing to do with
where they live.
