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

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

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

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.

Our wings are not tired.
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.
I still think of my home number for the first 18 years of life as Redwood 2-8265.
We don't dial 10 digits yet, but they do in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Living in the same house I had 3 different area codes here. Palm Beach County used to be 305, then they split Miami off and made us 407, then they split Lauderdale off and changed us to 561.
A large % of my personal address book has outdated area codes.
I discussed the sports injuries with DH again. He is going to talk to our son. Jr. is much lighter than his dad was at that age. DH played football at that age because he was stocky as well as tall. At 6' Jr. is only 145 pounds and gets pushed around pretty easily. He agrees that the kid losing his knees when he is only in 7th grade is not acceptable. I may try and put some weight on him with shakes a couple times a day or something. He is so healthy otherwise I hate to mess with his diet. Ugh, this parenting thing is complex.
