If he comes to Illinois be sure to offer him a cigarette. It’s about to become a rare treat.
No way! I’m stashing my cigs! Wasn’t it Elaine Benes that said something about someone not being cig worthy?
If he comes to your house, be sure to engage him in your hometown tradition of washing his face in snow before entering your house!

And tell him that every horse in the USA becomes a year older on New Years Day (True). Happy Birthday, Horsie!!!
no problem because on a forum I may know who you are talking to (+ etiquete is different).
My point is that etiquete may not be only an ego thing but a practical way to adress people … when talking I am used to certain rules (but no judgment is made wether those rules are good or bad).
I sure do appreciate your input. Respect and etiquette is important to me so I wanted to get it right.
