Do you have anyones phone number memorized?
I only have a cell phone and have everyones number programmed in there. I just realized tho I dont remember any of their numbers. I always just rely on the phonebook in my cell phone. This could be a problem if I need to be bailed out of jail or something and I dont have my phone. (thats just the first example that popped into my head. I dont think I'm going to jail)

2. My parents.
Only because they've had the same phone number for about a million years.

4. My Dad (2 numbers,) my sister, and flvegan.
I figure those are the only ones I need to know in an emergency. The rest are stored in my phone and written down in case my phone has some catastrophic failure.

9. All of them
I don't leave any evidence on my cell phone or other phones. I probably have at least a 100 numbers memorized.

10. I used know lots of phone numbers.
Now I only know maybe 5.

Having a cell phone makes you lazy about numbers.

11. I only have Lyric's cell, my work, and my boss's cell committed to memory
All of the rest i have on my cell, and in a file on my desktop pc.

I used to keep a written address book, but for some reason it just fell by the wayside. I still have the old book, but i think the last time i added to it was about the same time Lyric and i became a couple, so that would have been around 10 years ago.

16. Yes, a few.
Most numbers I don't know, for the same reason as you. I have the numbers programmed into my cell. I don't even know my mother's cell phone number, and I call her a couple of times a week. My dad's I have memorized, though, because it's a simple number. I also know my daughter's, my husband's, and a couple of close friends' numbers.

18. Just a few. I don't even know my own cell number.
(I rarely use my cell; it's just for emergencies or for people to whom I don't want to give my home number.) But I don't even know how to program numbers into the phone; I still rely on my Rolodex. :-)
