Does she ever rest? Between painting, housework, and using all that fabric she buys, she stays busy.

He’s living the good life.

He’s living, just closing his eyes!

Good way to get flies in your mouth.

The room is called a “living room” because it’s the space where people typically gather to relax, socialize, and entertain, representing the core of daily life and “living” within a home.

It’s a napping room but not a bed‍ room.

Nelson, although your grandpa is asleep, he’s still living.

The 1st apartment I had after I was homeless in April 1994 theoretically was a 3-room apartment. There was tiny room by the door to the outside hallway and a kitchenette by that room. The big room was the living room, the bedroom and the dining room. I live in a small 4-room house now. Because of the way I am disabled, I sleep in the lift chair in the living room There’s no room in the kitchen for a table; so, I have a bar stool with a round table top on it to use as my table in the living room.

I was was several months than four years old when my one grampa died of a heart attack in his living room. I couldn’t understand how his heart could attack him … and how he could die in his ‘living’ room.

He’s breathing — he’s alive!

The older I get, the more I’ve come to like taking naps during the day. In my experience, it doesn’t interfere with how I sleep at night, although I know that daytime napping makes a good night’s sleep more difficult for some.

The living room used to be called the “drawing room”, while the bedroom was called the “withdrawing room”.

Explain to Nelson why you drive on a parkway, and park on a driveway.

I don’t know. It looks like grandpa is living his best life.

Whatever happened to parlors?

More like ‘sleeping room.’ No matter how I try, dozing off in front of the TV is a regular thing with me.

A gradual return to one of the uses for ‘parlor’.

It’s where you stack the living. Stack the dead in the pantry.

Oh Nooooo…….. she’s PAINTING AGAIN.??

the world may never know. :D

If he’s snorin he’s livin’.

I’ve gotten a giggle when someone says “The corpse is in the living room”.

Well, a dying room doesn’t sound inviting.

It’s called a living room because grandpa lives in it.

In Earl’s defense, he is in his La-Z-Boy.

napping IS living!

not one mention from any Midwesterners who call it a “front room”?

Earl is retired, so this is his best example of living.

Earl’s just making some zzzzzzzz’s…….

I can hear my wife’s (RIP) voice, “Tom, don’t cross your legs.”

The Drop Zone.

Livin’ large.

In England & Ireland (and elsewhere?), it’s called the lounge, and that’s exactly what he’s doing in it.

More likely the Den.

My parents place had “living room” and “TV room”. Living room was far easier to fall asleep in.

“Because that’s where he lives it up.”

Way back when, houses had parlors and kitchens and bedrooms.

Then people said, "Let’s have a second parlor to live in, and keep the parlor neat for guests.

About the time I came along, people said “We never use the parlor, let’s leave it out of new houses.”

Now they are saying “Let’s have a family room to live in, and keep the living room neat for guests.”

Where’s the family room?
