#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #October28 #BirthdayCohort with @indraNooyi & @AnniePotts & @BillGates & ... You?) on #NationalChocolateDay | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Holidays Calendar explains Chocolate (a word rooted in a word that might mean #Bitter) 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 “|Bitter| (\ #Bitterly #Bitterness #TheBitterEnd #Bitters #Bittersweet #Embitter)” is built on ancient words that mean "to |Split" (Biting, |Acrid, Harsh Taste).
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: Annie Potts, Andy Richter, Caitlyn Jenner (Bruce Jenner), Julia Roberts, Joaquin Phoenix, Bill Gates, Jawed Karim (co-founder of YouTube), Matt Smith (The Doctor in DOCTOR WHO), Indra Nooyi (CEO of PEPSICO), Brad Paisley, Charlie Daniels, Dennis Franz, Joy-Anna Duggar ...
but those are just the ones that I agree are famous;
