Parting is such sweet sorrow

I have friends who are always on the move around this wonderful world. Usually I am the one on the move.

It's harder I think to be left behind, because the world that you are used to is now changed. The person who leaves gets a new adventure, a new view.

I'll miss my friend while she is gone on vacation for the week. A week is brief. It is the years that are harder to deal with.

Anyone else ready to start a colony for your friends? A place where you can all hang out and be with each other as long as you want. Sun and fun, laughter and joy.

That would be nice. I can't wait until I never have to say goodbye again.

Idiomatic madness

"You can't have your cake and eat it too."
What a phrase.
What on earth does this mean?
Why can't I eat the cake that I clearly have?
If it's is my cake, what is it that prevents me from eating it?
Who would be sadistic enough to give someone cake and then not let them eat it?
More importantly why would anyone give ME cake and then not let me eat it?

Does this phrase mean that I cannot eat my cake and keep it? Well, why would I do that anyhow? Who really wants moldy cake? It's not like the phrase says a fake cake, or a permanently perserved cake.

So...
I would love to know where this phrase came from. And I would love to eat all of my cake.
