Old Phone Numbers

[+ Gar1eth]

I've  been using an iPhone since about 2009. At that time I  transferred all my escort phone numbers from my old non-smart mobile phone to my new at the time iPhone. Over the years I kept adding to my escort phone numbers. And with each new smart phone, I'd transfer the data from the old phone to the new one.
 

To keep track of them all, I put a 'Z' in front of their last names. That way I could always find them all grouped together in my phone directory*. My last real escort  hire was back in 2018-wasn't a great experience.  But now I don't hire anymore. And even if I did, the majority of the guys in my directory  have retired. But I haven't deleted them.
 

Oh and I also have an Expedia Account. I haven't used it in years. But when I was hiring and often flying escorts to me, I had to put their real names in along with their birthdates. I wasn't even sure if the account was still active since it had been at least 10 years since I last used it.  But I tried to get into it a few weeks ago and was able to access it. And all the old info was still there. Escorts actual names and their birthdays. 
 

Anyone else have reams of old data **that they haven't gotten rid of?
 

*I also do that with the guys I meet from the hook-up apps. But I've been thinking lately about changing them to another rarely used letter.
 

** I just looked. I still have Daddy's old phone number. It's a 714 area code. Before he moved to Las Vegas and was still in Washington state, we met for lunch at least once and possibly  twice in Tukwila, Wa.  I had been a member here for so long but had never had the chance to make a  Palm Springs Weekend.  It was really a thrill for me to be able to finally meet and talk with him.

It's probably okay to begin by deleting the telephone numbers that use exchange names:

KLondike 5-1234, for example

Or if you had Hetty Woodstone's from GHOSTS.  It was 4.  (They were the first in the county to have a phone.)

In the past, I have used my childhood phone number with an exchange as my password.  It was useless information that was repurposed and did not require a great memory to recall.  For awhile I added special characters at the end but that did start to be problematic in recall which ones I used and how many.  In the past I also used the letters in the phone numbers of some import to make a word which made it easier to recall the number.  Now mnemonics and other devices to recall information is essentially obsolete.

I had a friend who remembered a mutual friend's # as ANTCLOT
