Took me 12 years to learn that one.

TikTok actually saved my hydrangeas last year with a deadheading hack... but @michaels95 you might have a point about trusting random strangers with pruning advice.

Totally agree. Ran into the same thing with a short run of poetry zines last month. Double fan took forever to set up and the glue was messy, but a simple stab binding gave me better results in half the time and the pages lay just as flat. People act like fan binding is the only way to get a strong spine but a well done sewing is way more reliable, especially for small batches.

My heated birdbath only raised my bill $8 last winter.

Used to think flats were just bad luck or cheap tires. But after finding a nail in my back tire three weeks ago, then seeing your post, now I'm a believer that something's going on with maintenance crews sweeping up after construction. My neighbor found a bunch of tiny screws in the same stretch of road last month, all the same type. It's making me paranoid too, I run my hand over the tread every time I park now.
