You cant have your cake and eat it too

I heard this expression the other day and have heard it often over the years. I have always have been confused about what they meant when saying thisconfused So I had to do some research on this and found this, quote, The most popular form of this saying is"You cant have your cake and eat it too" confuses many people because they mistakenly suppose the word "have" means eat. The point is if you eat your cake now you want have it to eat later.

See what I mean about confused.

That is why I eat PIE, I believe there is going to be Coconut cream pie on every table in HEAVEN, oh yell and HAM.

Life is confusing enough with out cake interfering, a slice of good pie always keeps things in order.

if you got any quotes that are confusing I would like to hear, hoping everyone is having a merry and happy holiday dancing

wave Hi, Wenever; My cousin made a cake the other day. Guess what? . . .Yelp! I ate it too! 4 slices at that.. Anyway! That logo, isnt talkin about the cake, that we eat. Just like the sayin: You made that bed. Now! You laid in it!
Angel my love, 4 slices does not make a cake, you are holding back, please bring coconut pie I am waiting on the porch for itmoping
ye, tell me about, being umeployed for a decade, learnt alot of skills, and thought, hey Im going to be a millionare with all these skills.
then I realised, oh, but hell, I still cant use them, cause Ive got to get through the tax compliance, bank manager for forex trading. and the creative design skills etc, well, they just get sabotaged soon as they are profitable. even the ones Im passionate about.
so, ye, its very cruel not to be able to eat your cake aswell.

It took so long to bake and master, but you cant reap the rewards. (the dough)

sad.
whtwhb, I cant tell you about being with out work for a decade,cause I have always found something to support my family, once I had 2 part time jobs to do this. you are probable right it is all about the dough

merry Christmas cheers
