Why you shouldn’t talk to the police without a lawyer present
If you are not guilty, you should talk to the police, right? Wrong! By watching these two videos that I embedded below, I learned how the police can manipulate what you say and find you guilty of something you may have done! They are long, but very interesting to see the police tactics. This talk was given at a law school (I think). This first video is by an attorney:
The second video is a police officer who pretty much tells you how he gets people to admit their guilt:
So what do you think? Will you talk to the police without your lawyer present?

My Bathroom Today
Today was not a good day at my house. My toilet overflowed. ALL DAY LONG. No, I didn’t know that there was a turn off switch behind the toilet till about ten minutes before Bill got home from work. Yes, this was in the bathroom that we did the bathroom remodel in. I seriously could have cried the whole time. I tried plunging for over 20 minutes to no avail. Also, for some stupid reason, our toilet kicks in all the time. I don’t know why it does it nor do I know how to make it stop. What I did not realize was that every time it kicks in that it runs water. Sooo, we were leaking water all over the bathroom before I even knew it. Yes, the water made its way downstairs too. I think I ended up wrapping the toilet in something like 20 towels throughout the afternoon. I even drained some of the water using a cup. It was crazy. Bill came home and plunged the stupid thing 4 times and fixed it. I could have screamed!
Now, we installed a new tub in this bathroom. However, we did that mainly, because Bill wanted to add a whirlpool tub. The tub that was in here before we think was the original one put in the house (which would have been in the 1920s). Before we tore it out, we looked at doing a bath tub refinishing project but really couldn’t find any companies who did it. I did like my old tub and a bath tub refinishing would have been nice. However, since we did go with the whirlpool tub, we have been told we greatly improved the value of the bathroom. Seriously, if you were looking at a house, would you want a tub that was flaking paint off or one that was brand new or one that looked nice? That is a no brainer for us, so we replaced the tub as part of the basement remodel.
Now, my mom has back issues and has a hard time getting in and out of tubs. I would love to be able to buy her one of these someday:
This is one of those walk in showers. I think she would absolutely love it. Plus, if you end up selling your home to a family with kids or a senior citizen couple, they would love it too!
What kind of tub do you have in your bathroom?

Since I haven’t been home in two days since I went to the Pampers Mommy Blogger Event, I have a ton of things I should be doing like cleaning and laundry. However, I am doing none of those. Instead, I am looking at hutches and other things for my kitchen (shhh, don’t tell Bill).
As many of you may know (and for those of you who do not), I have a huge kitchen. I think it is about 15×17 or something like that. However, my cabinets stink (to the point, I have to turn my plates sideways to get them in there), so I am always in the market for something that will make my life easier and add value to my kitchen (and make it look pretty too).
I always like to look at hutches (which eBuffet.com has), but the way my kitchen is configured, they are really hard to fit in there. I have 4 windows that make life difficult (I have an extra garden window in there too, but that doesn’t count). However, after checking out the hutches, I took a peek at the buffet furniture. I saw a ton of buffet table furniture that I would absolutely love. Here are two of my choices:
What do you think of my buffet cabinets choices? I like them both though I think I like the first one better. What I love about these cabinets the most is that they come with free shipping and a 100% satisfaction guarantee (they know the way straight to my heart). I can only imagine how much shipping these heavy items from other companies would cost! I love that if I don’t like it, I can send it back!
Now, I just have to talk Bill into remodeling the kitchen. Anybody want to give me a hand with that?
