#HappyBirthday @DonnieWahlberg & #FatherGustav @Schwarzenegger & ... you? (the #August17 #BirthdayCohort) on #ThriftShop Day @HolidayCalendr | @411Holidays @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or Happy 'whichever of these holidays & or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Holiday Calendar explains #ThriftShops in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
Thrift Shops are #Shops or #Stores where you can buy Clothes, Toys, Books and Household Goods for |RockBottom Prices (on account of 'Most of their Goods' being Charitably Donated (rather than Pawned)). #ThriftStore #ThriftStores
The word “Thrift” is built on ancient words that mean Prosperity (|Thrive). #Thrifty #Spendthrift
The word "Shop" is built on ancient words that mean Small Additional |Structure (which is also the base of words that mean |Booth, |Stall, |Building without Walls, |Porch, |Cart-|Shed, Barn). #Shopped #Shopping #BarberShop #MachineShop #Pawnshop #Shopaholic #Shopkeeper #Shoplifter #Shoppe #Shopper #ShopWindow #ShopWorn #Sweatshop #Workshop
The word "Store" is built on ancient words that mean "to Stand Firm." #Stored #Storing #Bookstore #DrugStore #InStore #Restore #Storage #Storefront #Storehouse #Storekeeper #StoreRoom #Superstore
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' ...
Today's Birthday-Cohort
Astrologically, their sign is Leo ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: novelist Jonathan Franzen, Robert De Niro, Sean Penn, Donnie Wahlberg (brother of Mark & Paul & Robert etc., member of The New Kids on the Block), Paige (WWE), Larry Ellison (founder of Oracle), Davy Crockett, David Koresh, Mae West, Gustav Schwarzenegger (Arnold's father), film-pioneer Samuel Goldwyn ... and lots more I don't recognize (maybe you do recognize some ... you can find the date at the birthday-cohort link)
(and--if you or someone you know about has a birthday today
--please mention them (and how you know them or -know
about them) in the comments, thanks)
