#HappyBirthday, #July1 #BirthdayCohort (with #FortuneFeimster @fortunefunny & @MissyElliott & ALL the #FamousBirthdays @Bing lists)! on #NationalUSPostageStampDay | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &/or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Holidays Calendar explains our celebration of the U.S. #Postage #Stamp in a report you can access through 'the emboldened link(s)' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see '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 into their Foundation)
The word “Postage” is built on ancient words that mean "Post" + -|age.
#PostageStamp
The word “Stamp” is built on ancient words that mean "to Support, place Firmly" (also related to ancient words that mean "to |Trample, Misuse, |Staff").

It 'thrills me' a little 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' ...
