scrapbookbuzz Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I looked at today's date and had to do it! Thus, our theme. For those of you too young to understand that (did any of you NOT get it?), 10-4 (pronounced ten, four), Good Buddy is years old CB talk. CBs are what we used to use in cars (and truckers still do) on long trips, before cell phones. Back in the day, it was almost necessity; today, it's more nostalgic. Anyone ever use a CB? Here: :seeya: or at least, my parents did while we'd be on our super long summer roadtrips! Anyone have birthdays this month? Here: I have two friends who birthdays TODAY. If Dad were still alive, we'd be celebrating his birthday on October 30. To my NaNoWriMo peeps, are you doing any plotting/outlining in Plotober (October)? :thumbup1: Here: in Phoenix, there's a group called PhoeNoWriMo that I'm a part of. They organize get-togethers, write-ins, the Kickoff, etc. TONIGHT is the first meeting for Plotober (get it? Plot-ober), where we'll discuss methods for plotting story. Very excited to get this going! Talk to me! :bigear: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball mom Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 We used CBs all the time. So fun to use. :thumbup1: We had it on every time we got in the car. And going on trips with extended family was fun using the CB :thumbup: You just sent me on a trip down memory lane! :D My brother has a birthday this month. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Good morning! I've never used a CB, but my aunt and uncle were really into it. Everyone in their family had CB handles (nicknames). My aunt was "White Bear" - I can't remember the rest! Anyone remember the CB trading cards (or maybe stickers?) that came in packages of bread in the 70s? My oldest has an October birthday. He'll be turning 19 in a few days. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaniemom Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I’ve never used a CB but a friend I had in college had one. My oldest turns 11 at the end of the month. We’re still trying to figure out what to do for her birthday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I have never had a CB but I did know what you were referencing. No birthdays this month but I will have a new niece or nephew in a week!! And I can't freaking wait. Also, another one as early as the end of October but more likely November. You would think with 5 kids of my own and 15 nieces and nephews already I wouldn't be as excited for more but I am. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 We never owned any CBs, but I definitely remember that culture and references to it. I definitely remember that sad CB song, Teddy Bear. We don't have any birthdays in our immediate family this month, but my sister-in-law's birthday is late this month. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 No CBs here, but the 10-4 reminds me of the old Burt Reynolds movies like Smokey and the Bandit! My mom and MIL have birthdays this month. I never know what to get MIL and dh is no help at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 Just so you know: I spend WAY too much time on the Fulltime Families facebook page! Time to start using what time I would otherwise spend in the vortex to actually declutter my house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real birthday, but I'm celebrating my birthday on October 22 to protest my summer birthday. :laugh: Everybody gets pie. NaNo--I'm a Pantser, baby. Plan? What's that? Got character, turn the man loose and see what he can stir up for me! It's bound to be good. :hurray: I just capped of the sixth draft of his story, and it goes into Nightmare on Query Street this month. After that, he gets to storm the agents for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) I just remembered that Friday is the 27th anniversary of the first date with my dh! Not a birthday, but still something to celebrate. Date, not day! The day we met was August 25, 1985. It was our first night at college, so we were able to go back and figure out the actual date. We remember where we were standing when we met, too. We didn't date until 6 years later! Edited October 4, 2017 by mom31257 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 My dad had a CB he used on weekends at the cottage to contact our relatives in the area. I hated the sound of it - is that static sound called 'squall' or something like that? So annoying. and the reception was never reliable to our family anyway, so it was often a waste of time. I was happy when we got a phone installed and could just phone them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonhawk Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I never knew CB radios were available outside trucks. I mean, it's obvious to me now, I just never thought about it. Parents have birthdays later this month, within 5 days of each other, we try to do lunch together. Every year I say I will do NaNoWriMo, and then every year I say, "wait, it's December already?!" lol. This year I know I'll be tapped out, but maybe I'll do a poetry run or illustrations for some past stuff. Basically, creative stuff without having to do a large plan or framework. As in, the exact opposite of you, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 No CB No birthdays, but our anniversary is October 26th. No writing I'm really boring today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 My dad and my grandpa both had CBs. My name was Bluebird. :) Our family used to go out to eat with my grandparents every Friday night, usually at the same restaurant. They would communicate on the CB as to how far from the restaurant we were. If my grandparents got to the restaurant first, my grandmother would get out of the car and stand in an empty parking space to save it for us. :lol: :001_wub: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
