#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #November1 #BirthdayCohort with @LyleLovett & @JennyMcCarthy & ... You?) on #Brush Day @AbrahamThePharm | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass

... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'

Holidays Calendar explains this reminder to brush (your teeth, specifically) 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 “Brush (\ #Brushed #Brushing #Brushes #BrushUp #AirBrush #BrushWork #Hairbrush #Tarbrush #Toothbrush #Brushfire #Brushwood #Brushy #Sagebrush #BrushBurn)” might be built on ancient words that mean "a Bunch of |Heather-|Stems (used to |Sweep away or #BrushOff Dust)"---leading to its meanings "to Move |Briskly (as if on a horse, passing THROUGH such #Underbrush)" and "a Skirmish or Light Encounter."

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 Scorpio ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: country-singer/songwriter Lyle Lovett, queen-antivaxxer Jenny McCarthy, Tim Cook (CEO of Apple), Larry Flynt, Peter Ostrum (Charlie in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Charles Koch (of the brothers who co-own Koch Industries) ...

but those are just the ones that I agree are famous;
You can add
 your- or your friends'- or famous people (whom YOU
recognize)

My Heart of the Nation calendar says that we (Catholics) are celebrating All Saints' Day (not a Holy Day of Obligation this year (2021)), with the clergy wearing White Vestments for the Solemnity
