'Sleeper'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.)

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.

Right??
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A large % of my personal address book has outdated area codes.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.
Happy Birthday Lysana!
All you LoganE-haters are cracked! A man who can't cry for his dead mother , is wrong wrong wrong!
How the hell am I supposed to book tickets for a family reunion when I only have the vaguest idea what the plan is? I know there is something dinnerlike on the saturday. But I don't think we have rooms friday night. And I'm not sure about Sunday either. And with my luck, I'm going to be stuck on a cot in the same room as my parents, listening to my dad snore, so I want to minimize the number of nights of insomnia.
God, I am so cranky. This should be fun! But all I want to do is say fuckit. Except that would really disappoint some people.
Why did I put this off so long?!
