I care about the friends I have made on BBO. Also, I am extremely concerned about the environment/ ecology/ wildlife/ the little planet that we call Earth. How much more of the world's habitat and food supply for animals do we plan on destroying. How many more wetlands are we going to drain, fill, and build on? How many more sand dunes are we going to knock down in the interests of high-rise hotels or luxury homes?

Father's day and Mother's day are on different days in different countries.
I'm Dutch, my wife is Finnish and we have "parents" in the USA. When we used to live in Sweden, it was impossible to buy the mother's day and father's day cards on time. They are just not out in the stores yet.
In the end, we decided to just send them according to the Swedish calendar with the idea that it's the thought that counts. And no, it is not so much a difference between the USA and Europe. There are differences between European countries.
But then again, there are lots of small and useless differences between countries. One typical difference is the place (and number) of the holes in paper. Different countries use different binders. We have Dutch, Swedish, American and Finnish binders and we have 4 hole punches.

I want my opponents to leave my table with a smile on their face and without matchpoints on their score card - in that order.

The only reason God did not put "Thou shalt mind thine own business" in the Ten Commandments was that He thought that it was too obvious to need stating. - Kenberg
