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!
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Actually, up until about 15 years ago, I could make local calls just by dialing the last 5 digits of the number.
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.)

Cindy, born in Williamstown (or, okay, born in North Adams, because that was the nearest hospital back in the day).

I still think area codes without 1 or 0 in the middle are fucked up.

Yes. Also, area codes that end in 0. Thefuck?
