Happy birthday, Lysana!
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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.

Trust my rage
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.

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

Calling "across the lake" (which used to be the same area code but now is different and I can never remember the new code, either) requires dialling a "1" but not the area code. Or maybe the other way around. It's different from a normal long distance call in some way, and I don't do it often enough to remember how.

Ann, that's a ferret.
amych, I read: Happy Birthday, [alanty]. Unscrambling "alanty" is up to someone else.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Has anyone ever had a party line?
Yup. Don't remember it very well, but yeah, we had one. This was back when our mailing address was still Star Route somethingorother, when we didn't have any neighbors except for the one golf course in "town" over a half-mile away. Damn, we were rural.
The area code for all of Alaska is 907, and will probably stay that way for a good while.

I think I was on a party line as a kid, but I was pretty young.
Earwormed, now. The Kinks, so it's okay.

We did when I was a kid. Once I left the phone off the hook when my parents were gone (the babysitter didn't notice) so a bunch of our neighbors could not use their phones for a few hours.
I think that was the same night I built a little paper boat, filled it with tissue, floated it in the sink and set it on fire.
