Everyone has a different baggage list, what I consider baggage might not be so for someone else. What some of you see as D's baggage he sees as merely a filter. He has learned that this system weeds out the personalities he wants nothing to do with.
I kind of like this line of reasoning. But is a baggage list anything like a bucket list?

Because I'm thinking maybe that's what I'm doing wrong. Perhaps my bucket list should include dating men with different types of luggage, er baggage -- experience each before I die. How sad is that, eh?

But my bucket list could include a man who is controlling, another who is jealous, manipulative, conflicted, narcissistic, and so on.

Wait. Never mind.

HAHAHA... my baggage list includes all the things I run away from... more like sprint really.

Now, I will date a man with children (I have them), so, that is not on my baggage list. But, for others, it's up at the top of their list And, there are some things (your entire "bucket list" LOL) most everyone would consider baggage.

If we're handing out beers here .... I have Guiness on hand

Come sit next to me. You, Mr. Guiness and I will contemplate our baggage "bucket lists"

(Too bad the Frog has no baggage...)
