Wanted - Dimwit incapable of learning anything.

One of the most common phrases I see on profiles is " No Baggage" confused Ok we none of us want a person so laden down with baggage they can't move doh especially where this involves a dead person, you can't compete with the dead professor they never make mistakes or say the wrong thing, but really, no baggage means someone who's learnt nothing from previous relationships dunno I can only speak for myself but I certainly carry some, but it's pretty light weight stuff, so when I see certain words, phrases or actions I can run with it laugh

laugh Hi Z ~ Beware [health warning] of anyone claiming they have no baggage after a certain age.
Unless you have had a frontal lobe lobotomy, there is no darned way you can go through life without some measure of baggage.laugh
Back to normal here grey skies in Dublin and raining, cool wine
AH they only want to warn those possible candidate that they are normal Z. In denial I mean.

Or they don't really know the meaning of that term. I have some, but it is never a liability.

By the way it is nice to see you. Been a long time.wave
GG laugh yes I think the phrase, along with a host of others, shows a desire to meet up with Superman/Woman sigh and another example of people speaking in headlines, something best left to newspapers laugh
LJ wave As you say the "normal" looking for the extraordinary laugh wine
I have a backpack and walking shoes so I consider myself as having minimal baggage

blushing
Creast, sounds ideal, but after reading some of the mail you no doubt get here from time to time, have you never been tempted to change them for running shoes dunno laugh
So - to judge from your heading, you want someone baggage-free? laugh

I think people age because of the amount of baggage they drag around. Throw off your chains! Forget it all! skip like a child again!

Well, in theory. I try to keep my baggage on wheels instead of dragging it laugh

That may not make sense. I have half an eye on my classroom screen, tardy pupil could leap up at any moment holding out an apologetic apple
Right, out of even apple time

Over and out, good luck with the dimwit search laugh
Biff, No professor if I get mail from Hannibal Lector's ex wife I'll expect her to have some baggage professor rolling on the floor laughing

Hi Zman applause
Mimi, I love that. cheers
Mimi applause that's very true professor wine
I love Mimi's meme! So true. Have you ever contacted those that say 'no baggage' to find out exactly what they mean? That's like saying 'no drama' - whereas we all have drama in our lives at some point.

Many people go from one relationship to another without ever owning up to their own responsibility for what went wrong in it, and repeat the same thing over and over again. One could wonder if 'no baggage' means, don't bring the stuff from your old relationship into this one, but every relationship will leave some kind of residual affect.

Good blog! thumbs up
Imp, I'm quite sure that's exactly what they mean, also totally unrealistic doh but there's nothing like setting impossible targets when looking for a mate laugh and often their first question is why have you been here so long rolling on the floor laughing
Imp, we could simplify it by using airline criteria - cabin bag or that trunk has to go in the hold wow laugh
zmountain - true, but does anyone admit to carrying a huge trunk? Probably not, is my guess. rolling on the floor laughing
Hi Imp wave

My poor Arty is still helping me to unpack! grin
Hi Zman
Some people go on a one-week holiday with 2 full-size checked suitcases, plus a carry on, and another bag hidden under their coat. They take everything they have ever owned, just in case they will ever need to pull it out and use it.

Others nip onto the plane with a carry-on case only. They have gone through what they need to take with them, and discarded what they do not need. They bring essentials. Only what is needed for this journey.











(Mimi is exempt from this example as she does need to take shoes and bags on every journey, no matter now short)
Biff - so true regarding the baggage! lol. I love your story regarding people that say they don't have any, while lugging the trunk behind them. Denial is a wonderful thing, isn't it? rolling on the floor laughing

I could probably use your storage facility, as room here is limited. I prefer to travel with a carry-on and depending on where I go and who I see dictates what I'll pack. It'd be great to take an empty carry-on and fill it while one's away. I've never been able to do that, though. rolling on the floor laughing
Molly, I'm not using the 4x4 at the moment & the new car has a smaller boot, so anyone coming here with excess baggage will have to leave it at the airport professor laugh
Imp - we talking emotional or literal here, now? I wonder if I could store emotional baggage for people too, the best part is they'd never come back for it

rolling on the floor laughing
Z, doesn't that depend what else she brings? For the right person, you could arrange transport laugh
Biff, you've reminded me of another bit of excess baggage quite a few women carry around & seem to be unaware of, kids & grandkids uh oh they're fond of listing how you need to be available day & night for "dancing, meals out, walks on the beach etc etc", but fail to mention they're never here, always flying off to all corners of the world to babysit grandkids doh
That's possibly an excuse to have a break innocent

I WAS going to say if the person ticks all your other boxes the advantage of the transport is that it can go missing between the airport and the mountain. But I'm not entirely sure whether we're talking baggage or, you know, baggage.

Better she goes to babysit than the kiddies get sent to yours for the whole summer, no? laugh
Biff - both! lol. I think storing emotional baggage an awesome idea. You could charge x dollars per month for storage fees, with no worries that you'd have too much traffic in and out. Once they unloaded it, you'd just collect the fees... rolling on the floor laughing
Biff, I've no idea what having grandkids to stay would be like, not having any, but I've heard a lot of good things about them professor perhaps someone could post a recipe for them devil rolling on the floor laughing
You just dropped off several dozen 'will-do-nicely' lists frustrated
Imp, now that I think about it, that's possibly what a shrink is - a left-baggage office

Real baggage has the advantage, if they don't come back and don't pay, you get to open the case and sell the contents. devil

Emotional baggage, ew, already peeked unwillingly into enough trunks and boxes for several lifetimes - and the resale value, except possibly for a romantic novelist, is zero roll eyes
Biff, I'm so used to that I keep a mattress on the floor to break my fall laugh
Do you want a testimonial?

PRESENTING ...

Bachelor number ONE - house-trained, good at DIY and mechanical stuff, occasionally a little gruff but very popular with dogs and cats - I could go on? A nicely balanced list of, shall we say, 10 pros, 3 cons?

The fee will be very manageable, too. The full rave (complete with imported praise singer) is quite expensive, but a balanced credible list is a positive BARGAIN

grin
Biff, no, if I was worried about my "street cred" I wouldn't have written a blog criticising around 30% of the lady members help laugh
Whaaaaaaaaat? I thought it was a blog about blokes!

Well don't I feel silly now. moping


















laugh
Actually at FIRST I thought it was a blog about moving dead people around and yup, they can be incredibly heavy. Then I re-read it.

I just read it again, you didn't say females, so it was an understandable mistake snooty
Biff, this is an equal opportunity blog professor just as likely to upset men as women, and those inbetween professor grin
I prefer someone who has dealt with their baggage.....maybe that's what the phrase really means....its all been unpacked and chucked in the recycling bin.....wine
Biff - Excellent observation! I have to agree, those unwitting peeks into personal baggage cannot be unseen. Can you imagine having a custom's official pawing through your emotional baggage? wow
M4, what you say makes perfect sense, however the fact still remains that if one has just chucked all that went before in the bin one is going to make the same mistakes over & over again imo professor wine
