This guy at our Seattle book club argued that 'The Great Gatsby' is a shallow story about rich people's problems, and I've been annoyed about it for a week.

He said, 'It's just a bunch of whining about parties and a green light,' completely missing the whole point about the American Dream, so what's the most frustratingly shallow take you've heard in your club?

Watching a neighbor's deck collapse in a storm last spring changed my approach to fasteners.

He used basic nails, but I switched to structural screws for my own rebuild. Anyone have a go-to brand for outdoor projects that can handle heavy wind?

Just spent $300 on a 'professional' home organizing system that made my place worse

Honestly that's such a smart way to do it. Tbh I wasted money on bins that were the wrong shape for my closet last year. Testing with free boxes first is a game changer for small spaces.

A customer in Phoenix asked me to leave a small wrinkle in her new carpet

That’s just a future tripping hazard she’ll have to fix later.

Can we talk about the 8-hour nightmare of a completely blocked flue in a 1920s house?

Broken brick and mortar" is the worst kind of DIY.
