Why is Father's day the same day in the US as Great Britain, but Mother's Day months apart?

Longer gestation periods in Great Britain? Or because Mother's Day in the UK is tied to the fourth Sunday after Lent? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mothering_Sunday

I just created a facebook page. I had been avoiding it because I don't want to deal with my mom sending me crap on it. I wonder how long it will be until she finds me on there and I have to block her.

Add her to the block list first, that way if you friend some family members you won't appear to her as a 'recommended friend'. Just be aware that FB's privacy settings are a joke, and easy as hell to get around.

Why not just not "add" her?

Or just don't get on facebook. That's kind of like saying "I want to go to the porno movie theater once a week but I don't want to be caught going there." Eventually someone will find out. :lol:

Then you run into those shitty situations where you're trying to contact someone who only uses facebook.

Yeah........

Apparently my sister-in-law has all these filters set up so her mother, my wife, and I won't see pictures of her wild partying or whatever. So won't even add her father as a friend at all. At 25 years of age, I think she's way too old for that nonsense.
