I can't remember the area code I had until I was 14, but since then it's 410, 301 and 703. Oh, my cell phone is 757.
Re GG: Logan is awesome, reminds me of a lot of my college crushes. (only, with much, much more money.) Not necessarily a great pick for the long haul for Rory, but for now? Mrow.
Also, request for hivemind car reassurance: My car is creaking sometimes when I brake, and making a weird squeaky grinding sound on curves if I hold the brake down. I called Patrick, and he says the guys at the car repair place said we had axel problems last time it was in, but not enough to replace it. That was only a few weeks ago.
Please tell me "axel problems" don't mean my wheel is going to suddenly fall off on a major road or force me out of control, dooming me to a firey death when all I'm trying to do is get home before Lost. I can't take the car to the shop until tomorrow.
My dad would still use the exchange name when telling you a number, "Cedarwood 3-5100" or "C-E 3-5100" instead of 233-5100.
Has anyone ever had a party line? My relatives in PEI (different nuclear families, in houses on the same stretch of road) had one for a long time. It was hard to remember to listen for the particular ring for each home.
Actually, up until about 15 years ago, I could make local calls just by dialing the last 5 digits of the number.
Yeah, my cousin had that where she grew up in MA. I thought that was so cool!

This made me flinch to read. That's just not right.
Area codes: 415, 504, 714, 916, 530, 510 and 925. With help from google, I couldn't just remember all of those.
Our province shares its area code with another province. Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are all 902. I guess combined the two provinces have just over 1 million people. I wonder when we will need another one.

I Googled for my childhood number, but we moved before the phone company started replacing the old area codes that all had 1 or 0 in the center with the newer ones with other digits, and it looks like where we used to live has a newer area code now.
From looking at the area codes for Ohio, I *think* it was 513. Teppy (or other Ohio people), does that sound right? We were in Columbiana County.

When I was in college (1989-1993), you could call anywhere on campus -- dorm rooms, offices, etc. -- just by dialing the last 4 digits, because they all had the same prefix.
If you wanted to call any place in town, you just dialed 9 and then the last 4 digits. (The campus prefix was 523 and the town prefix was 529.)
