How should I properly setup my digital phone line with analog devices?

SerendipityLee asked:


We got digital phone service through Cox and our phone line has unlimited problems ranging from static, Spanish music playing during conversations, to long bouts of no dial tone (aka no phone access). I recently read: “When you connect your home analog phone to your office’s digital line, when you lift the receiver, the phone tries to draw an electrical current to operate. Typically this is regulated by the phone company’s central office. Since the typical proprietary digital phone system has no facilities to regulate the current being drawn through it, your analog phone can draw too much current—so much that it either fries itself or in rare cases, damages the phone system’s line card.” Im wondering if this is causing our problems. Our current setup: Cox digital modem < 2-jack adapter < wall jack < 2-jack adapter < surge protector power strip < computer < old-school digital answering machine < phone. Before I dive into the tangles of wires, can anyone advise me on a new connection setup? Or if its even needed? It could just be our old house for all I know... Thanks!

Basic Spanish phrases for clothing store help?

Liz asked:


I work at a clothing store and encounter maybe one or two spanish-speaking customers a day. I can speak spanish pretty well (took 5 years), but I need some help with a few vocabulary issues.

How do I say something along the lines of “Are you finding everything ok today?” or another basic, friendly inquiry in Spanish?

Also, how do you say “size” and all of the size names like extra small, small, medium large and so on.

Are there any other phrases that I’m missing?

Thanks so much for your help! :)

What does moño mean in English?

Mrs. Mom asked:


I read a story to my students. It’s in Spanish. The pictures were perfect so the fact it’s Spanish wasn’t an issue. I know enough Spanish to get the basic story line. However, when I looked up the word /moño/ it didn’t make sense. The title of the book is No Me Gusta Mi Moño. The dog on the cover has a bow in its hair.

Any help you give give me is muy excellente.

can you translate this story to spanish for me?

Emily S asked:


these are the mcginty triplets. all of there bodies are rather inproportional. damita plays football, line dance and always has on a ball cap. dont judge her by the meaning of her name, she’s a mean football player. adarsh likes to shop. you can find him wearing new clothes and looking for more. he likes his horse whip and purse. macbeth is the smallest of the triplets. he can be found in the dog house eating kibbles and bits or laying on his favorite green couch.
