    This was actually on my mind when my daughter got her first cell phone (gulp) and I realized I'll probably never actually have to dial it or remember it. But it's a solid spinoff of @Inky_Wretch's "Young people have no idea" thread. So which phone numbers (land line or otherwise) can you actually dial from memory?

    My Dad's landline (same number he and my late Mom had when I was a kid...but I talk to my Dad on his cell phone 99% of the time now)
    My wife's cell phone
    My sister's landline (which she doesn't have anymore)
    My aunt's landline

    I also pieced together my aunt's cell phone b/c my daughter has the same area code and prefix.

    And for the truly random shit...I remember at least three home phone numbers of my teenaged buddies. And of course my brief fling Jenny, whose number was 867-5309. :D

    So what phone numbers can you dial from memory, if any?

    I remember my home number as a kid: 639-2546
    I remember an old girlfriend's number because it was simple: 288-8223

    I wish I remember the number we called locally for official time and temperature. It was a bank.

    Also, Jenny: 867-5309

    I now remember my Dad's work number! He retired in 2004.

    Wish I could remember my grandparents' number but I don't.

    Mom and Dad's land line, which mom kept as her cell number when she sold the house after dad died.
    Childhood land line of a (still) great friend who I grew up with. I used to remember phone numbers by using NFL jersey numbers. His was Mike Singletary/Richard Dent.
