Today is the 53rd anniversery of me joining the Navy. What were you doing 53 years ago?

“ . . . on a zip-a-dee-do-da budget.”


What does that mean, please? Inquiring minds are intrigued yet unsure.

It means naught for a budget.

Yes, Element, exactly.

My children's father was a long haul trucker at the time. He was paid by check sent from the home office. All of his expenses during the month were deducted from his earnings before the check was issued. There were months that the  expenses were greater than the amount earned, in other words, a minus amount on the statement. I didn't work back then, child care was practically non-existent. And, believe it or not, I had never heard of welfare or food stamps. I did learn about those things a few years later and as soon as I could leave the kids alone, I did get a job. The husband walked out and I've been on my own ever since. This post was edited by NYAD at May 19, 2024 4:04 AM MDT

 

  Thank you for clarifying.

I always wondered how it could a "wonderful day" if he just zippered his doodah ...

Not if you had yet to be conceived.

1/2 of Zack would have been inside his Mother at the time of her birth. Women are born with their eggs. 

And?

You corrected it twice.

That is double jeopardy for this grammar infraction.   This post was edited by my2cents at May 31, 2024 7:07 PM MDT
