When Massachusetts split dialing codes the most recent time, you had to start dialing the area code, but not the 1. So now I do get a little confused sometimes.
Atlanta did this too, and it was fine once you got used to it - the 1 was just for actual long distance.
Although, you don't need to dial the area code for DC number if calling from DC,
This drives me nuts, though, because between that and cell phones, I'm so accustomed to dialing area codes that every time I have to dial someone from work who's also in 312, I have to hang up and start over w/o the area code.
Oh, I meant to tell everyone, come visit Madison. Johnny Depp and Christian Bale are here filming Public Enemy. Well, filming in Columbus for the next couple of days. Then somewhere else and then in Baraboo. So, I'm sure if we stake out the Hilton, we can find their rooms.

MD has this too - area code for regional calls, 1+area for long-distance. But IIRC, if you do dial 1+area for regional calls, nothing bad happens. Your call will still go through just fine.
Baraboo! Circus Museum! Crane Foundation! Boo Zoo! I wanna go!

Took me a while to readjust in California.
I had canned chicken noodle soup to which I added chicken and stir-fry veggies. Also hot cocoa to which I added a dark chocolate candy bar and vanilla.
No tots here.
mmm that hot cocoa sounds scrumptious
hivemind: "It was placed under the counter to prevent its being stolen"
or "it's being stolen"
or should I rephrase that entirely?
I would simplify to "was placed under the counter to prevent theft."
But I believe it would be "its," like "He was placed under the counter to prevent his being stolen."
