inNeed help designing a pot rack for my kitchen
Oh man, I did this exact thing last year. The trick is finding the ceiling joist, absolutely do not just screw into drywall. I used a stud finder to mark it, then drilled pilot holes for some serious three inch wood screws. Holds my cast iron stuff without even a wobble.

inAt a gallery opening, someone called my bowl a 'fancy ashtray', should I correct them or let it slide?
Remember my friend who makes those wild ceramic sculptures? Someone at a show called his favorite piece a 'really nice planter'. He just laughed and said, 'Thanks, but it's actually a sculpture about sound waves, want me to tell you about it?' The guy got super interested and ended up buying a smaller piece. Sometimes people just don't know what they're looking at, and a gentle correction can turn an awkward moment into a good chat. I'd say say something, but keep it light, not like you're scolding them.

Yeah we saw the same thing at a truck stop pond near me. They put up no motor boats signs and the water got way clearer in months, even had ducks nesting again. It's wild how fast nature bounces back sometimes.
