#HappyBirthday to @ChrisTuckerREAL & @MattHardyBRAND & ... you? (the #August31 #BirthdayCohort) on #Overdose-Awareness Day | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or on 'whichever of these holidays & or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Holidays Calendar explains International Overdose-Awareness Day 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)
The word “Overdose” #OD #Overdosed #Overdosing is built on Over + #Dose.
The word "Dose" #Dosed #Dosing #Dosage is built ancient words that mean "a Giving."
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 Virgo ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Mark L. Walberg (I don't know if that's Marky Mark, or if that's just a trick some guy used to land a few more auditions 😜), Richard Gere, Emperor Caligula, Van Morrison, Chris Tucker, wrestler Jeff Hardy, James Coburn, Larry Hankin (upstairs neighbor on F*R*I*E*N*D*S), Buddy Hackett, Maria Montessori, Itzhak Perlman ... 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)
My Heart of the Nation calendar says that we (Catholics) are celebrating with the clergy wearing Green Vestments for the day
