Achieving a lean mid-section can be a drawn-out process, if you don't know what you're doing.
But, with the right exercises, you can get those muscles working, and move closer towards the results you want.
One big mistake you may be making as you go through your workouts, is that you aren't fully focusing on the actual ab contractions taking place.
Because of this, you won't see anywhere close to the benefits you should from the effort you are making.
To recruit all the muscle fibers in the ab area, you need to zero in and focus on only those muscles contracting.
The more you can isolate them, the harder they will be working. You should aim to keep the other muscles in your body as relaxed as possible. This will help you to perform the movement pattern more effectively.
So, let's have a quick look at four smart exercises, which you should include in your workout program, to get those abs fully engaged.
4 Exercises for Abs
1. Lying leg raise
The lying leg raise is a fantastic movement to work the lower ab muscles, as well as the hip flexors.
The key thing to remember though, is to avoid letting your feet drop all the way to the floor.
Instead, try lowering them down, so that they are just hovering above the ground, before raising them up again. This helps maintain that constant degree of tension in the muscles, and make sure you get the full benefit of the exercise.
Also, keep your back pressed flat against the floor at all times, to help prevent lower back pain.
2. Plank on an exercise ball
The plank exercise is a great choice to work the entire abdominal core. However, to increase demand on the muscle tissues, move this to an exercise ball.
Place your hands on top of the ball like you would a standard plank movement, and maintain the position from here. It's important that you avoid letting your back drop lower, but rather, keep it flat like a tabletop. Hold for up to one minute, before resting again.
3. Weighted decline sit-ups
To help build more abdominal strength, weighted decline sit-ups are an excellent option.
For these, you simply position yourself in a decline ab bench, while holding a weighted plate across your chest. Then, lean back into the sit-up position, and complete the standard crunch movement.
This will also work your hip flexors.
4. Bicycle exercise
To finish your ab workout and target the oblique muscles, try the bicycle exercise.
For this one, try to keep your legs elevated off the floor at all times, and be sure to twist as far to one side and then the other as possible. This will fully engage your oblique muscles, and help to give you that 'razor' look along the sides of the stomach.
Lie flat on the floor with your lower back pressed to the ground. Place your hands beside your head. Bring your knees up to about 45 degree angle, and slowly go through a bicycle pedal motion, touching your left elbow to your right knee, then your right elbow to your left knee.
So, that's it… your exercises for abs workout plan. Why not give it a try, and let me know how you get on 🙂

Berlin: Heart of Europe
It's not without good reason that so many Brits are flocking to Germany post-Brexit, with Berlin being the top city of choice. Bar the city's rep for long-weekend parties, cheap-as-chips beer, and kooky locals with a penchant for getting in the buff, Berlin is a city of uncompromising innovation.
Here, finding new ways of thinking and doing, and letting that freak-flag fly, is not merely tolerated but welcomed and encouraged. A bold leader in the creative and technological industries; Berlin's prime location at the heart of Europe makes it a natural melting-pot of talent from around the globe. Still need convincing? Read on…
As the capital of the biggest national economy in the Europe, it goes without saying that Berlin plays a pivotal role in European Union decision making. It is the heart of the new Europe. And who doesn't want to be where the action is? Whether it's politics, IT, e-commerce, media, technologies or the creative industries, whatever your jam is, Berlin is perfectly located and bubbling with activity. Sounds tempting but feeling unsure on where to locate yourself and your projects within Berlin? Fret not, there are countless services at hand to help you find the perfect site for you. This being just one of many.
Naturally, being the very locus of the European Union attracts many others from all areas of Europe and beyond; making Berlin one of the most cosmopolitan, well connected cities you'll find for you and your projects. People from 190 nations live and work in Berlin, and almost 2 million residents speak at least two languages.
Few other places allow for such networking opportunities with such a variety of talent from around the globe in such an array of industries. And fewer places still allow for such expansion on a global platform. Intrigued but unsure on how to go about it? This is a good place to start for those looking for a little advice.
It follows that a city drawing such an international crowd would boast some of the fastest, most direct links to other centres around the world. Tegel airport serves as Berlin's main hub for international flight connections, while Schoenefeld caters to trans-European flights. As if that wasn't enough, an additional airport, Brandenburg International, is currently being constructed and due to open in late 2020.
Berlin is also superbly located for overland travel, as part of the trans-European railway network, with connections to Stockholm, Rome and Moscow among others, and through them other railway networks stretching to the Far East and beyond.
You can reach both airports conveniently by public transport. Used by locals and visitors alike, Bvg.de provides one of the most comprehensive guides in helping you navigate yourself to and from the airports.
A good location is imperative to the success of most any project and Berlin certainly delivers the goods! As the capital of Europe's key players, and being so superbly connected with the rest of the world, Berlin is at the very epicentre of European innovation and enterprise. Never has there been a more exciting time to be part of it! Go on – what you waiting for?

I'm sorry if asking for something other than PBR makes me a pretentious douchebag. I wasn't trying to start anything here, just pointing out one aspect of an otherwise particularly great new bar in Durham. Maybe I should've said that I do enjoy most all other aspects of this bar (the draft selection is awesome) but that I felt looked down upon by the bartender for ordering a whiskey ginger--not what I thought to be a particularly pretentious or snobby drink.
this is why I don't comment on the internet...
Too bad if you ask for any kind of liquor drink other than just straight liquor they hand you a glass and an aluminum can so you can make your own drink. Seems like a really costly and ineffective way to make drinks, not to mention annoy your customers.

Location Access Settings … Most of the people don't read instructions while installing any app on the phone. We have a tendency to just tap on "Next" without even reading. In this quick process normally we allow app to access your location and sometimes aren't even aware, this leads to draining out the battery fast and privacy reason (few apps use your location even in the background).
Other case could be while installing app you deny location access but to access some apps you may need to enable it later.
How To Grant or Deny Location Access For Individual App on iPhone / Location Access Settings
- Go to Settings
- Scrolls down little bit then Tap on Privacy
- Select Location Services
4. Now scroll down to see a list of apps that seek location access.
5. Next to each app, you will see the text Never, While Using The App, or Always.
Never – Means app will not be able to access you location anytime
While Using The App – App only accesses location data when you are using it (app will not use your location in the background)
Always – The app can access location data even when you are not using it (use your location in the background)
- Best option – Use option While Using the App
This will ensure that the app doesn't use your location in the background. Some apps don't allow this option, in this case, if you don't think that the app should always access your location, change the setting to Never.
- Scroll to the bottom and Tap System Services.
- Now you can see which system services are using your location in the background. Find My iPhone is a useful anti-theft feature, so you should not deny it location access. Rest is your choice turns the others off depending on your requirements.
Which option do you prefer and why? Let us know via comments

5 Trendy Delusions About Church
I, like most Americans grew up in a family that went to church. In fact, I was a pastor's daughter, so I got to see the good, the bad, and the ugly as it pertains to the inner workings of the church. Like some, I chose to stray away from my faith at a young age, and spent my teen years as a "prodigal child", engaging in drug use, sexual immorality, and anything else that was contrary to the Biblical morality I was taught as a child. It wasn't until I was 19 years old and almost dead due to addiction that I cried out to Jesus and decided to submit myself to a local church.
Now, I am 30 years old and in full-time ministry. I have dedicated the last 11 years of my life to studying the Bible, knowing Jesus Christ in a personal way, traveling around the world sharing the Gospel, and ministering in churches of nearly all styles and denominations. Some churches I've experienced have hymnals, pipe organs, traditional choirs, and dissertations that leave the congregation so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Other churches use loud, contemporary music, bright lights, smoke machines, and messages that have church members clapping, dancing, and vocally praising God.
Of all the churches I have attended, big or small, modern or primitive (one church I ministered in had an outhouse for a bathroom), I would dare to say that none of them had reached "perfection" — yet they all held their individual form of beauty, and the common goal, of leading members into a closer walk with God through Jesus Christ.
But as churches continue to evolve in order to retain and attract new members, I have also seen some extremely dangerous trends which seem to be infiltrating bodies of believers, much like an infectious disease creeps in unaware.
These trends are against the "institutional church" and "man-made" religion. They involve a "new way" of doing church, or, in some cases, doing away with church all together.
While some may see this as a new sense of enlightenment that we have progressed to, I see this as Satan's way to deceive, and lead the masses exactly where he wants them: into isolation.
Here are five damaging, commonly-held beliefs that I've encountered about church:
#1 – Churches today are not culturally relevant. For many, this is another way to say that churches aren't approving of, and promoting, sins that are completely contrary to the word of God.
Most claim that churches are void of love, acceptance, and are hate mongrels who believe the Bible, versus what culture says is acceptable. True love is speaking truth, not staying silent so as not to offend people. True love, in the words of Jesus, involves obedience to His Father's commandments, as He states in John 15:10: "If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain in his love." If Jesus had been culturally relevant in regards to sin, He would have never died on the cross.
#2 – Churches today are full of leaders who want to control people. Although there have been countless cases of Pastors or leaders who have abused their leadership and left people wounded, this is not the heart of God. God is the one who referred to the believers as sheep. And just as sheep cannot lead themselves without a shepherd, believers need Godly shepherds, or Pastors, to care for, instruct, and at times, correct the flock.
#3 – Church should be a place that creates community – with more fellowship and no structure. Today there is what is known as, "atheist churches". Sounds like an oxymoron, I know. These are people who want to come together to have community without any type of religion attached to it. Today, without realizing it, it has become a popular idea that churches with any type of structure are considered, "religious" (with a negative connotation). I have heard people say that we should completely do away with any type of structure, come together to worship, and if anyone wants to speak, they should be allowed. Paul knew these ideas would come when he wrote to the church of Corinth. He knew that chaos would never lead anywhere good; therefore he wrote to the church in 1 Corinthians 14 about church structure, and doing things, "decently and in order".
#4 – I do not have to attend church to be religious; I can have my own relationship with God at home. This one is perhaps one of the most common things I hear people say. They have decided to leave the "institutionalized church,", and make their sanctuary their bedroom, or perhaps their living room. This is dangerous for several reasons. The first reason is that God made church for man, not man for the church. In other words, He created it as a place to strengthen us, guide us, and to bring mutual encouragement among believers. That is why the writer of Hebrews told us in Hebrews 10:25, to "not forsake the assembling of ourselves together.". Another reason this is dangerous is because it leaves us in a place of isolation. Just as the Bible tells us in 1 Peter 5:8 that, "our adversary the devil prows around like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour,", Satan, just as a lion in the wild, looks to devour those who are all alone. As we assemble ourselves together, we provide mutual prayer support and encouragement for those who need help, or are struggling.
#5 – I can't find a church where MY needs are being met. This has become a mindset among many Christians today. Rather than seeing the church as an equipping center, where believers are trained to do the work of Jesus in order to effectively go out and reach the lost and dying world, it has become more of a "buffet" bar, where if the dessert isn't sweet enough, it's time to move on and find another church where it is. I regularly use the example about what happens if an individual constantly eats, yet stays immobile. The results are simple. The individual becomes obese. Our churches are full of obese Christians with an, "all about me" mentality. They go to church with an attitude of, "bless me", and "feed me", but never take what they've been given, and give back to others. They find themselves unsatisfied, and unable to receive what their Pastors are preaching, so they go and look somewhere else. Jesus never intended for this to be so. All that we receive in church is to be taken out to feed the spiritually starving. I've heard it said before, that if a person constantly looks for a church, but yet never finds one that is good enough, the problem is not with the churches, it is with that person.
Regardless of its flaws, the church has been institutionalized by God for the very sake of His children. Although many may come with new ideas, and want to throw away the old model, it was put together by the leadership of God, and those before us who laid down their lives – in order that we could come together and worship our Lord Jesus Christ together.

The three day celebration June 23,
24 & 25, 2006 was an enormous success, far exceeding all
expectations! The event fairly glowed all weekend as hundreds team
mates, fans, coaches, SCSC family members reconnected, reunited and
On Friday, June 23rd, folks from all over the country started arriving at the George F. Haines International Swim Center. Olympian after Olympian, alumnus after alumnus spanning half a century checked in. Wayne Anderson, Jenny Bartz, Brent Berk, Joe Bottom, Lynn Burke, Steve Clark, Donna de Varona, Sharon Finneran, Kurt Grote, Linda Gustavson, Paul Hait, Jan Henne, Cathy Jameson, Linda Jezek, Brian Job, Suzy Jones, Claudia Kolb, Karen Moe, Pablo Morales, Dick Roth, Keena Rothhammer, Don Schollander, Terri Stickles, Jane Swagerty, Ed Townsend, Lynn Vidali, Chris von Saltza, Anne Warner, Pokey Watson, and Tom Wilkens were SCSC Olympians in attendance this weekend!
All were introduced on a very warm Friday afternoon, and presented with a special SCSC Olympian jacket, followed by a rousing re-creation of Opening Ceremonies with the synchronized swimmers on surfboards, carrying international flags, floating the length of the 50 M pool, while our national anthem played. It was stunning!
At the Saturday Gala Dinner, many current elite athletes and top coaches from this years International Meet paid their respects, including Michael Phelps, Klete Keller, Natalie Coughlin and Brendan Hansen; as well as coaches Bob Bowman, Eddie Reese, and Jack Bauerle.
It was a magical evening with Donna de Varona as Master of Ceremonies. Panelists included Kurt Grote, Tom Wilkens, Pablo Morales, Julie Varozza de Fabrique, Linda Jezek Wittwer, Nancy Kirkpatrick Reno, Jeff Freeman, Kurt Krumpholz, Steve Clark, Chris von Saltza Olmstead, Lynn Burke, Claudia Kolb Thomas and Anne Warner Cribbs.
Special guests speakers included former Australian super-coach, Forbes Carlile, former USC coach, Peter Daland and George's daughter, Kerry Haines Derr.
Emotions ran high, as a superb video shown throughout the evening captured fifty five years of SCSC history, and paid the utmost honor to our great founder, George Haines. Those emotions were not isolated to alumni only. Even those in attendance who did not swim, or who are among our young current swimmers felt as though they, too, were part of the incredible pride of SCSC as the warmth and greatness of George and his unparalleled legacy came through.
It was an event that will be remembered and cherished forever by those in attendance. Our goal in putting together this special weekend was threefold; to reconnect with our roots, to unite the past with the present and to ignite the dreams of the future.
This Reunion Event was just the first step in taking SCSC into the next 55 years of glory. We hope everyone in attendance stays in touch, and helps spread the word that SCSC is alive, thriving and looking forward to the exciting future with our young swimmers of today!"
Many thanks to the outstanding Reunion Planning Committee, to our sponsors and to the alumni who went above and beyond in their help: Brian Job, Nancy Kirkpatrick, Theresa MacDonald, and Donna de Varona!

What a stunning place, I've seen more than my fair share of sunshine destinations with Cyprus being one of my favourite places to chill, but without a doubt Lindos has to be one of the most picturesque. It's getting very popular getting married abroad, sun, sand and sunsets!

They're probably not what you'd think.
Your younger years might be heralded as the glory days, but there's something to be said for aging. Arguably you're more financially stable, emotionally adept, and have a collection of skills to your name.
Case in point: a study from the London School of Economics and Political Sciences has found people are the happiest at two different ages – and neither is high school.
The study asked 23,000 adults from the ages of 17 to 85 on how satisfied they were with their lives overall. It also asked them to predict how they thought they would feel about their lives in five years. The same people were then asked to retake the survey five years later. Their findings? Our levels of happiness seem to follow a U-shaped curve between the ages of 20 to 70, with our joy peaking at the ages of 23 and 69.
Our levels of happiness seem to follow a U-shaped curve between the ages of 20 to 70, with our joy peaking at the ages of 23 and 69.
Although probably not the ages you would have guessed, it does make logical sense. At 23, most of us have completed some tertiary studies and are leaping into the career world. Meanwhile, at 69, many have settled into retirement and have a level of financial freedom.
So why are there so many years between the estimated ages of when you hit peak happiness? Researchers concluded that younger people tend to overestimate their future life satisfaction while older people tend to underestimate it. Plus, a lot happens in those decades in between peaks, like switching careers, starting a family or traveling – all of which can affect your level of satisfaction.
Just don't peg your happiness on a magic number. Find what makes you happy and do it today. It could be blocking out an hour each Sunday afternoon to catch up on reading email newsletters. Maybe it's buying the good organic granola. Whatever it is, the little things make up the main count.

Initially, I Wasn't A Fan Of The #ImNoAngel Campaign & Here's The Reason Why
Initially, I Wasn't A Fan Of The #ImNoAngel Campaign & Here's The Reason Why
Viral campaigns are the key to any successful business. Lane Bryant just launched one of the most talked about viral explosions around a plus size brand in my recent memory. There is nothing more topical than the skinny vs. curvy vs. fat debate. From the #droptheplus hashtag created by working plus size models who reject the word "plus" while working as a plus models to #effyourbeautystandards created to celebrate ones' individual standard of beauty. Social media has driven this conversation forward and created great dialogue around it.
The #ImnoAngel campaign brilliantly crafted by Lane Bryant at first glance was a response to the Victoria's Secret "Perfect Body" campaign that featuring their iconic angels with their perfect thin frames presented as the ideal. I was upset with the "Perfect Body" campaign and became angry at the #ImnoAngel campaign too.
After witnessing the #ImNoAngel campaign, the following questions came to me. Why should I repel the idea of a Victoria's Secret model in much the same way that my larger frame is repelled by society? They feature models who are thin, real women who are actually thin and deserve to have the same respect that I demand. How is this embracing all women? How is this inclusive to all sizes? Aren't we doing what we accused them of?
Instead of voicing my initial thoughts and opinions, I waited a while until the hype calmed down and I read the responses to the campaign from the models featured, company heads and the plus consumer. Overwhelmingly everyone was excited about a brand that actually wanted to see them, who echoed their sentiments. Being an "Angel" is not reflective of the average consumer. The #ImNoAngel campaign, maybe just a viral campaign for some, but for others it became an opportunity to talk about how they felt ignored not just by a retailer but by the people in their lives. I even saw a Facebook friend declare she unfriend someone who posted a crude joke about fat people and closed her rant with #ImNoAngel. That is the power of social media.
Lane Bryant wanted to capture the demographic that Victoria's Secret left behind and say with a resounding hashtag "We are here for you."
Related – Plus Size Retailer, Lane Bryant Redefines Sexy With #ImNoAngel Hashtag
I understand that at the end of the day it is a business and Lane Bryant has created a campaign that made you want to see what they had to offer with beautiful choices that rivaled Victoria's Secret. So why didn't this sit well with me? Why was I so bothered by it? Then it hit me…I was putting way to much responsibility on a brand to speak for me. Lane Bryant as a brand shouldn't bear the weight of speaking for the size acceptance community but they have been forced to. They are asked questions about self-esteem and society's perceptions of beauty, all discussions that are unfairly placed on a retailer to answer. After all it is just underwear, right?
I realized my frustration was not with Lane Bryant, the hashtag or Victoria's Secret. My frustration is that once again the issues that plague the plus community are relegated to what we wear. As if a pretty bra would make me no longer tolerate the prejudices I feel in my life. Like being able to wear a thong in my size would make me love myself enough to not allow negative forces in my space, that it would force an employer to pay me equally or that the sparkles on my nips would not make someone look at me and make judgments on my health.
Clothes don't have the power to do any of those things and it may all seem superficial to some. But for me having a convertible bra that is pretty and can support these triple E's so that I can wear a halter top and let these fat arms and shoulders get some sun makes me feel incredible. I found that at Lane Bryant when I couldn't find it anywhere else. Wearing pretty lace panties in my size makes me feel adventurous, sexy and secretive, not keeping Victoria's Secret but a secret all my own. Having a pretty dress or a power suit may not change the trajectory of my life but for the time that I wear it I feel unstoppable and powerful. When I feel down I wear a vibrant color. I am not at all suggesting that simply putting on a fuchsia top will cure my ills as well as all of societies. It is the way that anything makes me feel that matters.
How I adorn my beautiful curves honors the woman I am, I care enough about these rolls to wrap them in vibrant colors and fabrics that make me happy. Not anyone else, just me. I have the perfect body for me, I may be an Angel today but a devil tomorrow. I am all those things and so much more.

Music has always been an interesting beast to me. It seems like writing it would be an easy thing to do, right? I mean, I can hum a tune. How much harder can it be than that. Turns out, its a lot harder. I've dabbled a little by plugging my keyboard into a few programs, but it turns out that I'm terribly unwieldy and everything sounds like crap. There are a few things that I'd like to work on in the future that I would like to at least have a little tune in the background of, but the process still scares me.
All of this rambling takes me to the above video. Through my loose affiliation with The Cleveland Game Developers group, I've happened upon a beginning tutorial on music composition that I rather enjoyed by Brian Crick. While the math is a little over my head, he breaks music composition down in a way that pulls much of the intimidation out of it. Its definitely worth watching.

"360" is the perfect name for this restaurant with its panoramic view of the Plateau du Fornelet in Plagne-Montalbert!
To ensure that you don't miss even the tiniest detail when you are inside, the architects have put windows in throughout! It's a contemporary version of a classic design at 1970m.
The view is not the restaurant's only talking point, however; constantly reinventing itself, the restaurant now has Michelin-starred chef Jean-Michel Bouvier at its healm, and will be offering a menu based on quality local products at affordable prices that will satisfy all palates with its 2-in-1 formula.
On the ground floor, done out in "industrial" cafeteria style, you will find fresh pasta dishes, grilled meat or soup from a giant pot. A few steps above on the first floor, there is a change of decor with a cosy restaurant offering table service.
The plus points:
Here, it's time before it's time and it's still time after it's time!
If you are always starving or enjoy a late lunch, take note of this address as the cafeteria serves lunch non-stop from 11.30am – 3.30pm.
And if you enjoy a gourmet pause at the end of the ski day, you can have tea on the terrace until the end of the afternoon.
Access to skiers and non-skiers via Montalbert gondola.

So, last week I mentioned our affinity for Walmart and opened a floodgate of responses (what passes for a flood in these parts anyhow).
They weren't the sort of comments that I feared I'd get by mentioning the "W" word though. These were NICE comments, ENCOURAGING comments, SUPPORTIVE even – not so much of our shopping venue, but of my laying it out there, being "real" and "honest."
I've been thinking a lot about that.
You know, I don't get around to too many blogs – not like I'd like to. I check on a few each day, and then a couple of times a week I'll go on a binge and surf blogs way too long.
It can be overwhelming though – the amount of good ideas, new projects to envy, beautiful photos, pure D TALENT.
On the one hand, it is so inspiring and uplifting. I love to see all the amazing ways that women and families fill their days. I love to hear stories of how people are mindfully raising the next generation. I love to see all the beauty that people wrought.
On the other hand, blog surfing can be, well, kind if intimidating. It can make you feel pretty inadequate. You can start to think that "So and so would handle this so much better than me" or "SHE would probably never raise her voice" or "That person would never forget about the birthday party and buy some plastic noise making junk to wrap in the car on the way over. Oh no, SHE would make something beautiful, something that would be treasured into the birthday boy's retirement." or "I'll bet SHE never has piles of unfolded laundry on her couch for days."
When I peruse the blogosphere, I often have to remind myself that I'm looking at someone's life through a pinhole. I'm only seeing the wee-est little bit. If I knew them in "real life" I would see all the rest, and it would probably look as messy as my life.
Tell me it's true.
Lie to me if it's not, okay?
When I wrote my Walmart post, I realized that you all might sometimes feel that way around here… that our life is always as neat and tidy as this blog can seem.
Perhaps you haven't read the Rat chronicles?
Seriously, I don't want you to feel like that. I try to be real. I try to lay it out there like it is, both because I think it will help us all, as moms to be honest about how hard this job can sometimes be, and also because when my boys are raised and gone, I have a feeling that some of the stuff that seems messy now, will seem golden then.
The sticky floor, those piles of laundry, the not so flattering report from a Sunday school teacher, the NOISE – it's our life, our beautiful mixed up life, and I love it all. I don't want to lose a drop.
And that's why I blog. I feel like I'm here at night, or in the wee hours of the morning, trying to catch the ocean of our days in a Dixie cup.
When I blog, I'm a prospector, wading in, scooping up each day, shaking of the silt and delighting in the treasures that I find.
I want to be sure though that I don't send some of that gold back into the river, not realizing that the clump of dirt that I found is really priceless.
So, in order for ME to remember all the not so pretty, but still GOOD stuff, and in order for you to be able to come here and know that we are normal, average, just gettin' by, just like you, I'm going to start a new little series, "In Real Life."
Every now and again, I'll show you something that I wouldn't ordinarily show strangers (nothing like THAT folks)… something I'd ordinarily shove in the closet when company comes.
I hope you'll play along too. Let it all hang out on your blogs. Post photos of the toys laying in the front yard, snap a shot of junior having a fit. It'll be fun! You can even share them in our new "In Real Life" Flickr group.
So here goes… I'll get things started.
Hi. My name is Stefani, and I hate laundry.
I can stretch one load into a four-day process… a day to wash and let it sit in the washer until it's stinky and then I have to rewash it. On the second day I dry it and carry it to the couch where it will be neglected for the remainder of said second day. Another day will go to folding it at a rate of one pair of pants an hour. Then, if I'm feeling industrious it might get put away on the fourth day. By then though, there's three more piles coming through the pike.
It's sad. I know.
But you know what I love?
I love boys in their Spiderman drawers putting Papa's socks on their feet AND arms to put on a "Super Laundry Man!" show to help me get through the chore.
That's us, In Real Life.
Now come on, get real with us. It'll feel good, promise.

Sydney FC coach Graham Arnold has questioned the citing which led to striker Matt Simon being suspended from Saturday's key A-League clash with Melbourne City.
Simon copped a one-match ban after the match review panel cited him for serious unsporting conduct for a forearm swipe which brushed the head of Central Coast defender Jake McSing.
Arnold said on Thursday the panel had effectively overruled referee Ben Williams as Williams saw the incident and cautioned Simon on the field.

Gambian security forces and regional troops have started patrolling the streets of the capital together, a day after they arrived in mainland Africa's smallest country to stabilize the political turmoil that was sparked by former President Yahya Jammeh's refusal to cede power.
The region force, ECOMIG disarmed Gambian soldiers to secure the presidency ahead of President Adama Barrow's arrival.
Gambia's army chief Lt. Gen. Ousman Bargie told reporters that the foreign troops were not an invading force but there to compliment the efforts of the Gambia's armed and security services.
An ECOMIG general said heavy weapons are missing from the presidential compound and they have launched a search for them. He, however, fears that the weapons may fall into the wrong hands.
ECOWAS Commission President Marcel de Souza said the regional troops will remain in the Gambia until the situation is fully stabilized, stashed weapons found and mercenary fighters whisked away.
Gambia's former President Yahya was forced to flee the country into exile after President Barrow authorized the use of military force to enforce the outcome of the elections in which the longtime autocratic ruler suffered defeat.
Barrow is expected to return to Banjul this week to take over power. He is currently in Senegal, where he had been holed up pending security clearance for his safety.
