Did people used to be "addicted" to newspapers? Telephones? Mail?
My name is tommyrot and I'm adicted to the telegraph.
(Wait until you see hear my Morse code porn....)
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, my grandfather was totally addicted to his ham radio. He kept it in another room, where my grandmother didn't go, and often used code to talk on it! To STRANGERS! Who he sometimes MET IN PERSON.
I shit you not.

My dad does this, too. And he's even perverted converted both my brothers. I've got my license, too. KC9BFO.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
My nana was totally addicted to both police scanners and CBs.

I always meant to, really. My granddad (before he moved to CA) was WB3IQL.

Mine's only a Technician Class. Means I don't have to know morse code. One of these years, I may actually spend enough time to get proficient and upgrade my license. Still, I've never had a radio and probably never will. I got my license to make my dad happy, easy enough to do.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I *love* CBs. When I was growing up, we didn't have phones on the island in Canada yet, and we were on the CB all the time. Then they put up a cell tower in Bruce Mines, and now nobody uses them any more. So sad!

My DH is KG6PCM, but he uses it only for hang gliding -- it's the flying to which he's addicted.
