No, 3. I forgot that I know my own phone number. :)

3: my wife's mobile, my Grandparents' home in NY, and my childhood home phone (not sure if that one counts).

And you still have weird alignment on your input boxes in Safari.

Phil,

I'd forgotten about that misalignment - especially since I never see it, being logged in all the time - but I'll try to fix it.

Any ideas? I'm not exactly a web designer :-)

17...so far.

i disagree.

10 that I know where they go to. I have a couple of other ones (including the first phone number I ever got from a girl...) that I don't know where they go to.
