Women all over the world have suspected the truth, but now the dirty laundry secret is out – many men DO wear the same pair of underwear more than once in a week.
The Clorox Company recently conducted a survey around the laundry habits of both men and women, and one in eight men came clean to wearing their underpants two to three times before tossing them in the washing machine. Men in the survey also confessed to using a “sniff†test to see if they could get away with wearing other elements of their wardrobe again before washing.
Women, on the other hand, admitted to simply buying MORE underwear to avoid having to wash so often.
Tell Us What You Think
Are you guilty of wearing the same underwear or other garments more than once a week? Do you think there is a downside to the “sniff†test or is it all good? We promise not to tell!
My Comments:
I am totally offended and very upset by this article.  I have no idea what these people are talking about. Seriously…why don’t you believe me.  I cannot remember if I have ever conducted the sniff test on any of my garments. So there you go,  if I can’t remember, then it never happened…right? Check out what Rita said in response to the questions at Web MD link below.

Sure, you drink your orange juice and eat your vegetables (sometimes). But one in 10 men are still vitamin C deficient, according to the Centers for Disease Control. And unexpected new research shows vitamin C may play an important role in proper brain function and health.
A team of Oregon-based researchers found that the retina cells in the back of the eye become overtaxed—and slowly burn out—when denied proper amounts of vitamin C.
My Comments:
Really interesting article from Men’s Health. It touts the value of taking Vitamin C and its benefits for the brain and prevention of glaucoma.

Well, not really….
So last Friday, at command PT we had soccer on the menu.  Being a fervent  soccer fan myself, I just could not wait to get out there and show a few moves from by old bag of tricks.
Well my friend, I did make a valiant attempt, heck the great Pele would even be proud of me, but then Mr. Reality came knocking; and while the good ol’ body did not want to listen, there was no keeping Mr. Reality’s check at bay. Â So if you read my post of a week ago, you would have learned that I sprained my left upper leg, both thigh and hamstring, and was laid up for the entire weekend with alternating hot and cold compresses.
Coming out of the weekend, I was hoping that I would feel fine to continue my daily workout, but suffice it to say…that was not even near possible.; as a result, I decided to take the whole week off – you know,  get the  body back to good,  and while at it keep out of the heat.  Damn its been hot these last few day.
So tomorrow (Saturday) Â I will go for a light run around my neighborhood to get the muscle back up, nothing stressful and then back to the weights on Monday. Â Wish me luck.

The police chief of a small South Carolina town will ask a jury to decide if a woman broke the state’s obscenity laws by driving a pickup truck with plastic testicles hanging from the back.
Bonneau Police Chief Franco Fuda ticketed Virginia Tice, 65, in early July at a local convenience store after spying the adornment dangling from her truck.
South Carolina law considers a bumper sticker, decal or device indecent when it describes, in an offensive way as determined by contemporary community standards, “sexual acts, excretory functions, or parts of the human body.”
The offense carries a maximum fine of $445 but no jail time, Fuda said.
“This is certainly not a staple of my ticket writing in Bonneau,” the police chief told Reuters on Wednesday.
The Charleston law firm Savage & Savage will represent Tice for free, attorney Scott Bischoff said. The trial had been scheduled for next week but was delayed because the defendant will be out of town.

A sweeping new plan to overhaul the Pentagon’s retirement system would give some benefits to all troops and phase out the 20-year cliff vesting system that has defined military careers for generations.
In a massive change that could affect today’s troops, the plan calls for a corporate-style benefits program that would contribute money to troops’ retirement savings account rather than the promise of a future monthly pension, according to a new proposal from an influential Pentagon advisory board.
All troops would receive the yearly retirement contributions, regardless of whether they stay for 20 years. Those contributions might amount to about 16.5 percent of a member’s annual pay and would be deposited into a mandatory version of the Thrift Savings Plan, the military’s existing 401(k)-style account that now does not include government matching contributions.  Read the full article by clicking the source link below.
My Comments:
Hmmm….the jury is still out for me on this. Â I have lots a questions as to how benefits would be distributed. Â I understand, however, that eventually, it might have to come down to this…I am not looking forward to that day for my fellow brothers in arms.
