#HappyBirthday to @KarlLagerfeld & @BillOReilly & ... you? (the #September10 #BirthdayCohort) on #SuicidePrevention Day | @HolidaysCalendr @800273TALK @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays &or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Holidays Calendar explains International #Suicide-Prevention 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 |Suicide| (& #Suicidal #SuicideBlonde ('dyed by her own hand' 😁) #SuicideSqueeze (Baseball-term))” is built on ancient words that mean "Killing (Slaying, |Striking) one's Own."
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: guitarist Joe Perry, Big Daddy Kane, José Feliciano (who did an infamous rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner), John Sununu, Guy Ritchie, Colin Firth, fashion-designer Karl Lagerfeld, golfer Arnold Palmer, Bill O'Reilly, film-producer (and not 'overblown' (you know, like when a fisher says he 'caught a fish THIS BIG') pre-American explorer) Chris Columbus ... 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)
