Walter:Mania,
My ex wife tells me they didn't have Mother's Day in the Soviet Union. Personally, I never lived there, but she spent the first 30 years of her life in the USSR. Maybe things in Poland and the USSR were different?
I do hope your ex will not take it personally but - yes thanks God, things were and are different between Poland and Russia. We had communism only for not even 50 years and it was still a little bit easier one that the USSR's. And - to make the long story short :
ONLY 49 DAYS AND I'LL BE A MEMBER OF EUROPEAN UNION
