    But OP, I'd just forget pretty much this whole mess and move on.

    I gave her a real number. 5 minutes of carrying something heavy ~25 calories. It ain't much (just like everybody is saying), but she seemed like she wanted a number.

    Household chores don't count as exercise. Sorry.

    wtf is exercise?

    laundry?

    What's laundry? 3 days in the same boxers crew checking in.

    Oh goodness, Mr. M… If I were your wife, you would NOT be getting laid.

    to me everything matters... as long as you are not a couch potato and you keep going, then you burn calories.so giddy up,,,, and kick butt.

    Kicking butt = 200 calories

    I agree!

    I wear my socks and bras longer than any civilized human should. Almost no shame.

    Who only wears them once?

    I dunno, man. Same with the people who wash jeans after one wearing. Ain't nobody got time for that!

    Yea, that makes no sense. It takes 2 or 3 wearing a before they feel great after washing them. Oh wait, what am I talking about, there have been almost 60 days in 2015 so far an I've worn jeans on 2 times.

    In sweat pants everyday crew checking in.
    Do leggings count? Also just go commando, saves washing underwear.

    It's almost like there is a broad selection of people here. Just like IRL.

    Perception. I personally think people went out of their way to give good advice. Some might not have been wrapped with a pretty bow, but giving honest answers isn't rude or mean.

    If you walk around the block while you're waiting, you can count that as exercise.

    my ex used to see boxers as a change weekly item of clothing cos he showered twice a day he figured they wernt getting dirty

    he changed to wearing a new pair daily when i bought him 10 new pairs and told him he wasnt coming near me until i did a wash load containing at least 7 worn pairs
