    This is the difference between ‘long term memory’ and ‘short term memory’, right?

    I’m the same way. My childhood phone number was 278-4554.

    Ha! I can remember my phone numbers and addresses..mind you, I have moved 13 times in my lifetime. The house I live in now is the one I’ve been in the longest…23 years. LOL I wrote them all down in my journal, just for fun.

    I can remember my childhood phone number and address. Some of the phone numbers since then have gotten a bit foggy.

    Just use your childhood phone number as a password. Nobody else remembers it, and you do!

    Remember when you had to get a new phone number whenever you moved to a new city?

    Funny how the mind remembers regularly infused info from history back yet not recall recent singular activity. Personally, I think it makes perfect sense, key words being ‘regularly infused’ and ‘singular’.

    I’m guessing the people with seven-digit numbers are younger than me. I grew up before all-digit dialing. My first started IN1 and my second began TU6 but that was changed to 886 sometime in the mid/late sixties.

    I remember the original 5 numbers. Then they added 75 for our side of town and 86 for the other side of town. Then they added the area code. Then they changed the area code in several places around the state, but I didn’t need to learn that because no one I know lives around there anymore.

    My mother, age 94, still remembers her childhood addresses and phone numbers. Fortunately, her short-term memory is still good as well! For me, I’ve never forgotten my first phone number, that started Greenwood 8.

    Our number from the 1950s will always be stuck in my head, because it was the same forwards and backwards … 283-5382.

    My childhood phone number from the sixties was still my parents’ number until they passed away last year.

    I combine different childhood addresses and phone numbers to make passwords.

    Such as my first GF lived at 1 Parker ct, and my best friend’s phone was CAstle 20534, could make 1Parker20534.

    I had too many phone numbers to remember, I moved around a lot, but I do remember things from the past better than things from the present.

    I remember my dad’s CB call sign that we stopped using in 1966 (KNJ 2384). Don’t ask me what my mom’s cell phone number is now, however.

    I remember when phone exchanges began with two letters. Local was SH for Shadyside. I also remember when you had to dial O for operator and wait for her (it was always a woman back then) to answer and connect your call.
