Why Working Moms Will Never Have Work-Life Balance

What I want is a mass uprising—women throwing off the yokes of their own crippling expectations and admitting loud and proud that the idea of work/life balance is a joke. Modern motherhood isn't hard; it's impossible. There are just simply not enough hours in the day to do everything. I'm serious. It's a rigged game.

The real way to calculate dog years.

The official formula, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association, equates the first year of a medium-sized dog's life to 15 years of a human's. The dog's second year equals nine years for a human. And after that, every year feels like five for a dog.

"But, the suit says, it wasn't until he'd already taken a bite - and swallowed - that he realized his "specific request for the omission of onions, pickles and tomatoes had not been complied with." Dugger says he suffered a "severe allergic reaction," racking up medical bills and forcing him to miss work. The suit says Burger King's error was "tantamount to negligence."

One day, an obstetrics and gynecology professor asked Hansberry and Nappi to help him figure out why no one was using a handy device that looks like a dipstick with clamps at the end, called an endo stitch, for sewing up hysterectomy patients. The endo stitch tool was difficult for many practitioners because it didn't properly close the tube where the patient's uterus was once situated. Hansberry believed using the instrument vertically instead of horizontally could make a difference and his estimations were correct.
