Most if not all modems have an in and out port on the back so you can plug a phone through it. But most likely in this situation, the house has a split in the phone line so that you could have multiple phones in different rooms.

So the op was in the office with the computer and the mom was in the kitchen trying to call someone else.

That show was surprisingly good.

It’s the same trick as rebranding bank robberies to identity theft. It puts the blame on the consumer who can’t afford to defend themselves.

By putting the dollar sign first on checks it prevents someone from changing 100$ into 1100$

Death to Smoochie?

Do Europeans just bring their bbq smokers on the train with them?
