"Z" is for zipper ... — My Alphabe-Thursday — "Z" —
Zipper. Closes, like you'd better zip your mouth.
Zippy. Altogether different, closes nothing, just zips around fast.
Zippier. Like zipping around, zippy, only a bit faster.
Zipless. Goes, but not zippy at all.
Zootomy. Wished I'd picked this number, it sounds like a lot more fun. Besides I like animals.
Za. Short for pizza. Like, let's order some "za" for supper tonight. Your Dictionary, za
Z. Short for 'the'. Like I got "Z" word to be zippy in zipping this post up. First find a picture or two.
Quite a few Scrabble words in this link, it got me started:

Zip. (verb) 1.
fasten with a zipper. 2. informal
move at high speed.
energy; vigor.
. . . . . . . . .3. short for ZIP code .
. . ..4. (North American) Nothing -- I got 'zip' for my effort
.
That reminds me of a joke I read someplace about politicians.Did you hear about the politician who refused to listen to her conscience?
She didn't want to take advice from a stranger.

What not to wear to work:Link to a nice little article from Forbes On-line, By Laura Sinberg, Forbes.com (Picture is from that on-line article)
I am retired but my son Mike is my fashion director for the way I dress in the subdivision. He thought my raggedy shorts and holey shirt had to go.
Mrs. Jim is my fashion director for my leisure and in public dressing. She is fairly liberal but does make sure I have not missed any belt loops or forgotten to zip my pants up.
Note: all after the definition for the word 'zip' I copied from a prior post, of July 7, 2009.

KP's school hosted veteran relatives for breakfast yesterday for Veteran's Day
Afterwards there was a program and parade.
The students put on the program and we all paraded with our student relatives

Very entertaining post, Jim. But, no Za-Za. She was quite a zippy lady. I bet she would've loved your Mustang II Ghia. :-)

We need a website for what not to wear to the mall! Just my opinion. :) We'll see what Jenny has in store for us next Wednesday!
I am going to miss this meme. I will miss everyone here too unless we all continue on Jenny's new adventure. I am sad but happy too. I always enjoy your shares. You have a nice way with words. Take care and enjoy your weekend.
Hi Jim, I love the saying, zip your lip! Used it on my son's all the time when they were growing up and got mouthy with me, lol..I am a dear friend of Anne of Phamilyblog, we've known each other since we were 15 years old..love her..Anyway, thought I would stop by and say hi..I also love that the veterans were celebrated at school. My husband is a proud veteran.. Barb
