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A large % of my personal address book has outdated area codes.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

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?!
Gronk. I'm supposed to be at the PT right now, but my power went off, so I'm kind of not.

Happy Birthday Lysana!

Unscramble the following letters for a secret message:
Happy birthdya, Lysana!
Did they ever determine the cause of the disorientation and aphasia, brenda? Where is he, now--home or rehab?
Nope. And he's at home, too soon in my opinion. Doing better now though, so while I'm still annoyed, I'm not so much concerned any longer. He'll have a home-care nurse a few days a week for the next month, and then nothing. Whatev.
Atlanta does the full 10 digit dialing. It was frustrating at first, but once I got used to it I actually preferred it. If you know you have to dial the area code you a) remember it and b) don't have to hang up and start again so often because you forgot you needed it or guessed the wrong one. Now I've gone over to the cellular side of the force, though, so it's not an issue.
My area codes: 612, 708, 803, 253, 831, 719, 919
The 719/919 similarity confuses me sometimes. I also get confused because I can make a local call to Chapel Hill or Durham, but I have to dial the area code for Raleigh. I can call Ft. Bragg (not in my area code) with a local call, but not anywhere off the base.
