HI there, Fellow Mylotter's; I had a "brainfart" this morning and just
sorta wondered; Have you ever used a CB Radio and if so what was "your handle"???
Mine was now don't laugh, Mine was "Racing Slicks"...LOL! I got that name from
a guy named Charlie..Good old Charlie had one of these fancy sporty type cars
you know the kind with the very loud MUFFLER...VVRRROOOMMM!!! VVVRRRROOMMMM!
that's all you heard when you pulled up beside him at a stoplight, deafening
loud muffler...now this is back when I was 16, me and my friends were in my
Parents car, it was a Dodge ( something) piece of CRAP back then, anyway
we pull up next to Charlie in his loud car he had his buddies in his car,
and well you know how it is/er was in those days guys were guys and always
thought they were the biggest and baddest of the lot, he's sitting there
gunning his car, while we wait for the red light to change, and in our town
up on the square, that was the place to be in those days you know? it was
two lanes to the next intersection, ok so we are side by side here us girls
in our piece of do nothing crap kinda car...Charlie and his buddies in their
fancy overhauled bad a$$ one I told my friends I said with an evil grin,
HANG ON! The light turned Green and VVRRRROOMMMM! We were off and we are
sitting at the next stop sign while the guys were busy picking their mouths
off of the ground in their bad a$$ car...ROTFL! LEFT THEM SPEECHLESS!
so from that day on, Charlie called me "Racing Slicks", and when I got my
own car, of course you know I had to have a CB RADIO that was all the rage
back then, if your car or truck didn't have a CB RAdio well you just weren't
cool at all...LOL! Stop laughing you high tech kids reading this with
your fancy smancy cell phones...LOL!
So did you have a CB RAdio and what was your handle?? How'd you get it??
come on now, I told you my story and if anyone wants to know I'm now 47
my old wreck of a body might have aged but I can still recall those kind
of fond memories...and I can't tell you how many people I used to beat
at the stop lights in that junker of a car that my parents owned...( EG)!!!

My father had a CB radio and a scanner radio to listen to all the different channels, but he never had a handle that I know of - at least not one he told me about. I always figured I'd be Jersey Red, but your story made me think. Mom used to say I had a "lead foot" when it came to driving. (Now that I've driven with my daughter, I feel vindicated in my continual denials of Mom's accusations.) But, it just occurred to me that Lilly Leadfoot might be a pretty cool name, too. Or Leadfoot Lilly - whatever order you'd want - or whatever "L" name you'd want.
Anyway, how you doing this morning? Long time, no hear.

Pooo'd all over myself if that had happened to me; ROTFL!
I guess I don't have enough on my count total to add pics in my conversation
cause it doesn't show up here that's why I had to start three conversations
about the kittens the other day for people just to go to my profile to see
the other pics I had taken of the babies...but nope no sign of add photo
on my posts here when I comment back and forth..MAYBE SOMEDAY I'll reach
a level here where I can do that. DANG IT! I want to use the silly emotion
icons and be able to add pics to my conversations and it would be nice mylot
for you to QUIT yer hiccuping when I try to do things on here...LOL!

Yes we had a CB radio in our car and a big base station in our house. We also belonged to a CB club and that was really fun. My handle was Lady Rancher. I didn't know what to use and my husband was the Texas Rancher so I thought why not Lady Rancher. So as you see, mine was not as exciting as yours. haha

HI {{Tyc}}, well I think your handles were very "classy" I love them!
Yeah can't you picture me as a drag racer in a lazy do nothing town??? LOL!
it was fun though I never got stopped, the cops always got the guys with the
loud flashy cars...sad but true however I did hate it when a good friend of
mine poor Steve got a ticket...he wasn't laughing but I was when I came back
around the square...

Hi dreamweaverjan!
I really love your question and I wish I had a great response for it, but, I don't!
I remember when CB's were all the rage too and hearing all the crazy handles that people used to have! I've never had a CB, but, I guess back in my mind I wish I did have one. I'm wondering if people still use them today?
Purrs,
Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

HI KellyJeanne: Well that's ok , at least you stopped by right? That's all
that matters;
I would imagine they do even with all the cellphones I would guess most
truckers for sure have them, and fishing boats along with all their other
high tech gadgets;
On any of the places I've used for dropshippers over the years they still had
them and it was easy enough for me to do a search for a photo that's supposed
to be here on my topic and that isn't ...GGGRRR!!
But thank you for stopping by...
