ShadyGreenThumb said:732-8900 That is the first home phone number I memorized. No Area Code back then. We lived in the 93277 Zip Code when they first invented them. The first house we lived in is now a substance abuse house! I'd like to visit there one day for other reasons, of course! Grandma's phone number was PR6-1785. PR stood for the "Prospect" area.

I still remember the first phone number we had to memorize, it just so happens it also had a PRospect exchange in the northern burbs of the Seattle area.

Jane Barbe was the name of the lady for the recordings we used to hear: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/vo...

The PRospect area must have been huge back then. My grandma lived in San Francisco! Now our areas have like 10 area codes!! Population Explosion and massive phone usage!

We had it in Brooklyn too....
I also remember Murry Hill.

Last phone exchange I remember was Cedar. Gene

So since I don't remember ANY phone exchange name, does that mean I'm not as old or I just have a worse memory

It means you used smoke signals!

You bad bad bad !!!! Rosie !!! 👹

I was thinking today I haven't seen any posts lately from ChefDebbie. She had been on other threads but I haven't seen her at all. Does anyone know?

I haven't seen her either. @ChefDebbie! We miss you.

I sent a tree mail but haven't heard back today.

I JUST asked about her on another thread ...the recipe.
Here in the wilderness, I am out of the loop..figured she was out and about but I was just missing it because I have not gone back to read what I missed.

ChefDebbie let us know if you're around! We miss hearing from you.

You are all so wonderful! Got so wrapped up with the apt buildings my dad & I own... He went on a 3 week rv trip with his wife & I gotta step up to the plate in his absence. I tell myself that I need to get on this awesome site with all of you great people, & either forget, fall asleep or have to tend to tenants' repairs. It never ends. But that's the nature of the business! And got a bit of a cold, but I'm better.

Welcome back

Yes, welcome back! It's so good to know you're back and were just busy with your life. That sure happens. I'm sure your dad was very happy to be able to take a trip and leave things in your capable hands. Please pop in whenever you have a chance.

I needed these today - hope some of you enjoy them too!
