US Visa waiver for Argentines? Ergo, no "reciprocity fee" for Americans?

Apples do not fall far from the tree, AV. I am pretty sure I know from which parent she inherited the tendency not to kowtow. You must be proud. 
You must have learned to speak Southern (y'all) on your trips to the Masters? Southern is my "native dialect" I might add. Did you learn to appreciate sweetened iced tea and BBQ ribs on your trips to Augusta?

Yessir, Doc, I learnt the y'all in Washington.
How come?????
Well I mean Washington, Georgia, a wonderfully sleepy small town one hour away from Augusta, where we stay when we go to the Masters.

We stay at the B&B reviewed above. Guess the name of the banned TA poster who wrote the first review?
Once upon a time, we invited the lady who owns the B&B to have lunch with us in a nearby town.
We had rented a convertible and my wife insisted on taking the back seat, while said lady sat in front with me, but she said: "Do you want us to get shot?".
How come???? Well, the lady happens to be African-American as it seems "politically correct" to say now.
So, undeterred, we took her to a restaurant that had a huge Confederate flag waving in front.
We got a few stares, but anyone who knows me probably guessed I had a great time, annoying y'all. LOL!!!
About your last question, I hate tea, iced or otherwise and don't think much of American food in general. Rather expensive US French restaurants are an obvious exception.

As much as I am loathe to correct your Southern grammar AV (snicker), y'all is plural. Phil is singular. Unless you were referring to both Phil and his online persona, which would make the plural the correct form.
To think, we would not be having his conversation if you had been your usual charming self instead of kowtowing to the US Consulate person who conducted your Visa interview. Musta' been hard for you. Wish I had been there.

Well, Doc, suh, please forgive my poor Southern grammar, but I consider Phil almost universal and therefore plural.
BTW, about your "I am loathe", don´t you mean "I am loath" or "I loathe"?
GOTCHA? Please confirm. LOL!!!

I too have fond memories of visiting Washington Ga and the Masters with Avrooster and Theresa.Although I don't remember him saying "ya'll", he would make a perfect southern gentleman. And my husband owes him dinner!

Welcome back to the Fodor's Argentina forum, momssk!
I always brag about the time when I got tickets in the Colon's presidential box for you and your friend, at the price reserved for locals!
When should we expect you back, this time with your DH, so he can pay for the dinner he owes me?
