#HappyBirthday to the #June10 #BirthdayCohort (with #KaiaKanepi @KanepiKaia & @SashaObama17 & ... you?) on #AlcoholicsAnonymous #FoundersDay @OCSDNorthPatroL | @411Holidays @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass

I wasn't even THINKING of battery-sizes when I looked
up 'AA meeting'-images and found this! LOL
I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday'---maybe focusing on one of these holidays & or event-anniversaries in each entry)?'

That way I can go back & input new birthdays & events etc. Like this day's Alcoholics Anonymous Founders Day.

That holiday's explanation is linked through 'those ending syllables' ( #oholic) below; but first I want to understand that suffix better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...

The suffix “-oholic” obviously based on the word 'Alcoholic,' and was abstracted (sometimes using "-Aholic" instead) to mean 'an Addict to "the suffixed substance or -activity" (first Sugar, then Food, Work, Golf, Chocolate (#Chocoholic), Shopping (#Shopaholic), |Rage, Info, Sex, Milk, etc.)  #aholic
