Talk Me Out of Kidnapping You..........

Regina, Saskatchewan
January 28, 2009 9:00pm CST
I learned today that a friend is about to turn 59. I think it's 59. At my age, it doesn't pay to trust my memory and that got me thinking that getting older really sucks. But then, "lightbulb over head goes on". There are actually perks to being a certain age. Think about this: If I was kidnapped for example, would I REALLY turn the kidnappers on enough for them to want to breach my granny panties? I doubt it. Would they have to tie me up? Probably not because I couldn't really run anywhere fast enough to sound the alarm. Could I 'freak' them into releasing me with talk about laxatives, how polident doesn't really work, and offers to show them the varicose veins under my boobs? Most definitely! So yeah, there are perks to being older. How about you? Have you discovered any perks in your inevitable advancing age? Kidnappers want to know so they can avoid you! LOL

Well how about the fact that no one wants me enough to pay for my return, that I could never be a human shield I'd have a heart attack and they would have to hold me up, I guess that I could cook for them, but I tend to forget if I've already put the salt in and my taster doesn't work well enough for me to tell. I'd be pretty much of a liability, Blessings of being old

Ah pat, I'd pay for your return. I'd take up a mylot collection! We'd have you free in no time, but you realize that you'd have to cook for us in return eh? LOL

Of course there are perks to getting older. I find the whole idea of breaching granny panties and exploring varicose veins under boobs perfectly acceptable. If only I could find the granny! LOL. As I get older I have to try less, know more, care less, am expected to be a moron by anyone younger so can get away with things that I used not to, like dancing badly in the cinema to Mamma Mia - the worlds worst film of the last......, oh let's say EVER, it's true; and treated like a favoured son by those older than me. Now, just to make things easier. What time will you be leaving the house to go wherever on foot next. Don't look behind you and how are you about travelling in the boot of cars for shortish distances? LOL.

I got that movie for Xmas. I do have to agree about the acting (007? You gotta be kidding me!), but I loved the music. I saw the stage play in Edmonton several years ago, and I've loved the music ever since. It gets me out of the boot of cars and has me dancing! LOL Oh, and if the boot (of the car) fits, then I have no probs at all traveling that way. I'm very easy to get along with! ROFL

Badly acted (by some great actors), whatever was Julie Walters doing in there, Mrs Overall meets the Greek Isles. Average music that wasn't that good first time round, tortured by non-singers, the corniest plot ever and went on too long. Apart from that it was perfect! LOL. " Take a chance on me........" Have we found something that we differ on Gabs?! LOL. Still love you though. XXXX

I do so love your mind. Make sure you donate it to science when you go to the great big castle in the sky someday, OK? Just make sure you don't die for a VERY long time. Well, I don't know the advantage of aging really. I'm about to turn 28. But I know the advantage of being a 6 foot tall women who is overweight. I don't think anyone would like to have to drag me into a car. And if we got into a fight and I sat on them, it would probably kill them. hee hee

Naw, I think any kidnapper would want me. I am sexy, good looking and got all the right things going on. I am also young and rich and my last name is Hilton. Ok Time to wake up now!!. Nice dream eh?? and that is what I do best at my age. DREAM!!! hehe. But the main reason a kidnapper wouldnt want me is because I'm poorer than dirt. lol

I get asked sometimes and not others but I still get irritated at the people who DO ask, they don't seem to be asking because it's required to ask everybody, they do it because they think I'm actually not old enough. The kicker is that I am probably older than ANYBODY who has ID'd me lately!!

Oh sparks they wouldn't want to see me when I have to pull out my top teetha dn brush my whole mouth encluding the teeth in hand. Many people cringe when they see you have to take them out for something stuck under the darn things, lol. I also have to go pee alot they would get tired of having to let me go. I hurt so bad if I sit very long so they would get tired of me saying, I need to move, let me lay down I hurt and then let me get up I must sit up I'm hurting too bad to lay here. If they tire dme up feet and hands they would have to undo me way too many times for bathroom breaks. Although like you I can't move quick and I'm slow when I do so they would really have no need to tie me up. They would get tired of hearing me trying to reason with them and asking about the medicines that they forgot to get that I have to have. They'd freak out to see me having a seizer because they didn't get my medicines for that. My blood presure rises so high when I seize that I can have a heart attck or anuerizm, so I think I'd really just be too much trouble for them to care for. LOL

it's a normal thing sparks. I don't think much of it. I really don't. It goes up sky high when a seizer happens. This is a little tidbit that most people don't know about seizers. But I figure what's going to happen will and when it's my time I'll go...it's no big deal. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to tempt fate. But I don't worry about it either. But a kidnapper would have a time on his hands, and probably get scared by kidnapping someone that has seizers and no medicine. It's something I have to have everyday and I still have seizers. It's just one of life's little jokes that it plays on some of us.

I don't have money or anyone in the family with money - so kidnapping me is useless. I once read an U.N.C.L.E. fan story called, I think, "Ransom of U.N.C.L.E. Chief" kind of based off of "Ransom of Red Chief." where a couple of inept Thrush agents abduct Mr. Waverly.

My brothers used to collect the 'comics' of them. I'm pretty sure I read it in one of those. Our family cottage had quite a selection of comics and penny mags with all kinds of stories in them. But then, I seem to remember a tv episode of the Chief getting kidnapped, but that could very well have been a "Get Smart" tv show.........you're going to have me up all night now trying to remember!

Why you wouldn't want to kidnap me??? If it ain't sagging or bagging, it's all dried up. So I ain't got nothing that ain't broke!!! Nice of you to remember my birthday lady!!!

I have chronic pain in my left leg, which would make me a whiny pain in the patootie to anyone unlucky enough to kidnap me. And going up stairs leaves me a tad winded. And I'm only 24. Yeah, aging is going to be LOTS of fun for me! I hope no one ever kidnaps me - I'm kind of a smart@ss, so I'd probably inadvertantly get them to shoot me in the head within an hour.

The sad thing is your part right and part wrong. Some of those weirdos out there would be turned off. But, then there are some that would be turned on. I saw a show where this guy in his twenty's married a grandma because he was turned on by her.The older the better he said! So, if you do get kidnapped make sure you are turning them off and not on!!! And, the only thing I find better about getting older is I can get set in my weird ways and when someone say's you can't do that or why did you do that I say, "I have been doing it like that for years so live with it!" My husband say's, "That works for me!" ** Peace and Love get's you through everything in Life **

I know I could whine for England and listening to my constant whingeing the kidnappers would probably pay others to take me AWAY from them! I could just go into "lecture" mode and talk at them until they had no choice but to release me or go mad from listening to me babbly on incessantly :) And God help them if they kidnapped when I have PMT cos even the devil would run scared from me then hehe!

Sparky, there are NO advantages to advancing age! Have you not heard about how senior citizens still get kidnapped? LOL! Ok, all joking aside, the nutcases who abduct senior citizens are not doing it because grandma is hot. They probably also don't care if grandma's depends are leaking either or if she is thinking about breaking her bifocals and stabbing his knee with it when he's not looking. I suppose that maybe they wouldn't want to hear someone who talks nonstop about non entertaining subjects, and often the younger generation is not thrilled with subjects important to the older generation...but again that might be why serious kidnappers carry gags.

LOL Kidnappers might not want you because of your age, but rapists don't generally discriminate over age! I've watched too many of those crime shows on TV, I guess. LOL Let's see... advantages to getting old.. hmmm... well, sometimes you can get ahead in lines if you look pathetic enough! If you take a bus, you have a better chance of getting a seat if it's crowded, especially if you "stare down" a younger man who's already seated! Hmmm, Oh! There are those discounts for "senior citizens"! Sometimes, they begin at age 55!!! AARP, too! (Not sure if they have that in Canada, but here in the States, we can join AARP (ummm, Association for the Advancement of Retarded People? Nah... I believe it's 'Retired People') at age 50. Hmmm, any more perks? Well, we can get out of doing a lot of things if there's someone around who is younger. We generally have enough experience under our belts to be able to intimidate younger people into helping us... guilt them right into it! Other than that, I honestly can't think of another thing... growing old sucks! Oh, well, we CAN smirk at those perky young things in the skin-tight jeans who flaunt their youth and KNOW that that attitude of theirs is going to change drastically once gravity starts grabbing hold of THEIR bodies, too. Hahahaha! ("Oh, hon, are YOU in for a surprise!") Hmmm... Oh! My boys will be over here in a FLASH if I tell them I need help with anything. Ten years ago, they would have given me excuses as to why they couldn't help but now guilt grabs 'em by the you-know-what until they get their butts over here and help me!

Great response! LOL Yep, the older you get the easier the guilt tripping is. I LOVE that! When I was younger all I had to do was bat the old eyelashes to get my way. Now I just have to hang my head a bit and let out a tortured sigh, and I get my way! LOL Yes, there are definitely perks..............
