Well what can I say
I must be starting to get old
Fell asleep in my chair watching TV last night
First time ever.
Yvonne grabbed my phone before I dropped it
Shook me vigorously
And told me it was bed time
At 11.30pm if I recall correctly
Earliest bed for me in 29 years!!
Imagine falling asleep on a chair watching telly!?
No booze
No weed
Just snoring which annoyed my wife
I'm only 65. Shouldn't be doing that.
Should I?

I think it’s normal to occasionally fall asleep watching television. I have done it in the past. You needed the sleep.

I sure did
But I don't think I have ever slept for 14 hours before
I was up to the bathroom a couple of times but other than that must have slept soundly

Yvonne suggested I had been sleeping for a while.
I think she meant five minutes
Then she got irked with the snoring , she said, and shook me

@ineeddentures No, you’re not old. It’s just a comment on how anaesthetising TV content can be.

To be honest I don't even remember what Yvonne was watching as I snored.
But I nearly had a heart attack when she shook me

Hope you don't start finding other things happening that are associated with getting old.

I mean the other day we visited my pal from school Paul.
He was saying a mutual friend has started wearing paper under wear.
I said to Paul it would be funny if he had to do the same
And he said it would be funny if I had to

@Ineeddentures I hope you are nowhere near needing paper under wear.

@Ineeddentures Okay that is a fair point. I am a busy mom and wife. But still normal I think.

Deffo normal, no doubt about that.
Busy moms and wife's deserve a nap after working so hard to look after kids and keep a house and maybe work a job as well

Yes but you are most likely a busy house wife.
I am not a busy man compared to how I used to be

It was my dad’s favorite thing to do. He did that when I was a child (and he was in his 30s).

My 65 lol is the new 45!
I retired when I was just over 55
And despite the onset of old people's problems.
I am young at heart.
Like I bet you feel like 50.

No much wonder
The Voice is the most fake show of them all
And boring
A good way to go to sleep
Watch the voice ,

@Ineeddentures I've seen wrestlers and martial arts experts sleeping on chairs. None of the was over 20.

No
But I have never ever ever ever fallen asleep in a chair before.
So I think this means I might be starting to get old
