A New England-based company is quoting me an estimated cost of $203 to ship approx 3 lbs of chicken salad overnight. That seems a bit excessive. - kelly Dec 27, 12:59 7

  - So, what do people with kids do? - Spawn Dec 27, 12:21 45
    - We just taught E our cell numbers. - spamlet (iPhone) Dec 27, 12:47
    - To follow up on why we got rid of ours...once our boys had cells and we were programmed into them. They know they can always reach us now. - Jim Dec 27, 12:44 3
      - do they know your number in case they lose the phone? -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 27, 12:48 2
        
        Well, they knew it anyway...but yeah. Neither Carrie nor I has changed a cell number in like..5 years or so. - Jim Dec 27, 12:50 1
        
        my sister has 4 kids, oldest age 8. they don't have a landline and it's fine. -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 27, 12:55
    - guessing most parents by the time the kid is old enough to make their own calls unsupervised just get em cells -- nm - Capstern Dec 27, 12:27 2
      - Technically, he is ready to call home or grandma unsupervised now. - Spawn Dec 27, 12:48 1
        
        I just meant to the volume where it would be irritating for them to use mom or dads phone -- nm - Capstern Dec 27, 12:51

    - it's just as easy to teach him the number to one of your cell phones, isn't it? -- nm - znufrii Dec 27, 12:24 23
      - Getting ready to change mine. And I would rather it be the house which is the family number, anyway. -- nm - Spawn Dec 27, 12:47
      - Depends on the area code of the cell, I guess. -- nm - mara Dec 27, 12:40 21
        
        land lines have area codes where I live. -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 27, 12:49 20
        
        But a kid doesn't necessarily have to know it, if he knows the city he lives in. -- nm - mara Dec 27, 12:50 19
        
        depends, some area code overlays require 10-digit dialing for landlines as well -- nm - znufrii Dec 27, 12:51 2
        
        I thought everyone had 10 digit dialing now -- nm - decline Dec 27, 12:52
        
        oh, i forget this isn't the case everywhere. -- nm - Andie Dec 27, 12:52
        
        maybe in your area, but where I live there are multiple area codes in a small area. -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 27, 12:51
        
        wouldn't your cell number also be the area code you live in, in almost all cases? -- nm - Andie Dec 27, 12:50 14
        
        my area code on my cell has been wrong for 3 states now (its CA area code) but have not changed it through my moves -- nm - Capstern Dec 27, 12:52
        
        not if there's an overlay (two area codes for the same geographical area) -- nm - znufrii Dec 27, 12:52
        
        not necessarily. in NYC there are 3-4 area codes overlapping (don;t know how many at this point). -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 27, 12:52 8
        
        iirc, there's 5 all together, but any given borough uses at most three of them -- nm - znufrii Dec 27, 12:52 4
        
        918 is everywhere, IIRC. -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 27, 12:53 3
        
        917, but they just added 929 to the outer boroughs as well - znufrii Dec 27, 12:55 2
        
        that's six total. counting is hard. :) -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 27, 12:55 1
        
        yes, I was correcting my previous statement. - znufrii Dec 27, 12:56
        
        we have 5. i am just saying, i don't see the difference between a cell and a home line for area code knowledge. -- nm - Andie Dec 27, 12:52 2
        
        I know a lot of people who have moved but keep their cell phone numbers so they have long distance area codes (which used to be a pain when phone - pmb Dec 27, 13:07
        
        me neither. -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 27, 12:52
        
        A lot...but cells with different area codes are becoming increasingly more common (around here anyway.) It's weird. -- nm - Jim Dec 27, 12:51 2
        
        I know many people who live in MD/VA and have a DC area code for their cell phone. -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 27, 12:52 1
        
        I've got people in Illinois with StL codes and people in StL with mid-missouri codes. no idea why -- nm - Jim Dec 27, 12:53

        did he not look at his phone bill? -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 27, 13:03
    - We got rid of ours when we got the boys cellphones. -- nm - Jim Dec 27, 12:23 4
      - so you can call them in the hospital after you run over them? -- nm - lia Dec 27, 12:38 3
        
        Ah, there it is. Let me see...yep, still not funny. -- nm - Jim Dec 27, 12:42 2
