it's 2013, why are women playing mother to their husbands?
I do NOT understand. I get it if he works late, and you are home earlier or stay at home. What I DO NOT get is making two separate meals, or even more for kids.

I'm a science nerd and I'm used to my lab scale that goes to .0000 points. Most of the food scales I've seen only measure on 1g increments. My boyfriend is an analytical nerd. We're looking for the most precise food scale we can buy that will go to furthest decimal. Suggestions?

Stupid question about heavy lifting
Does it mean literally heavy? Cause isn't heavy different for everyone? So for instance, anything with shoulder raises 3lb are difficult for me but I can do them, so would heavy lifting be 5lbs? Biceps I can do 5 lbs no problem so I should be heavy lifting at say 8?
