I just realized that I had spelled the name of my hometown wrong. That’s kind of pathetic when some one can't spell the name of the city they have lived in for almost 16 years.

Don't feel bad, most of the time I have to look up my cell phone number. I give it out several times a day and still forget it.

Southern Breeze,

I'm in the same boat. But to our (somewhat losing) defense, How often do we call ourselves?

It's said that Albert Einstein had to look up his own number when asked, the logic being, why would he need to know it, if he calls home there's no-one there to answer, so why memorize it?

Do I have a home phone number? Not really sure, do most of my phoning on my cell, both calling and receiving, and everything else is on-line, email, discussion board, etc..

Einstein was right.

KCW- With cell phones why do you need a home phone? I had mine disconnected and use my cell phone for everything. The money saved goes in my kilt fund.

The main reason I keep an actual land line phone is so that I'll have a directory listing in the phone book. Well that, and it makes it difficult to send and receive faxes without one.

one of my professors last semester was a student under a man who was a student under Einstein.

He was relaying a story to us one time about Mr. Einstein. Einstein was going back to his room one day, and he couldn't get the door to open. He'd put the key in, and the key wouldn't even turn. He looked at the room number... 214... that's the right number. He tried a couple of keys, and none of them worked. He knew he was at the right room number though, and could not figure out why the door would not open.

Finally, a student walks up and sees him having trouble, and asks if he can be of assistance. The student goes through Mr. Einstein's keys, trying them all out, and he too finds that none of the keys work. He asks Einstein if he's sure he's got the right room. He looks up again... 214... yep... that's the right room number.

After about 20 minutes of the student and Dr. Einstein working to figure out what the deal is, they finally figure out the problem.

He was in the wrong building the whole time!

I wish I could do that, but I seem to live in a "black hole" No cell phone company has service at my home I've tried several and had others tell me straight out that they didn't have service, including one that advertises that they "have more bars everywhere". I can go about one quarter mile up the road in either direction, or go back in the woods and climb up in my tree stand and get service, but both options are rather unpractical for my only phone.
