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.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

With help from google, I couldn't just remember all of those.
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.)

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I still think area codes without 1 or 0 in the middle are fucked up.

My college was the same way, and I was in school '96-'00. I'm not sure if it's still like that, but i hope it is.
