Now, I'm puzzled by the use of "decaden" on this board!
To me, as in French, "decadent" has always ment:


A   noun
   1    decadent
       a person who has fallen into a decadent state (morally or artistically)

B   adjective
      decadent, effete
       marked by excessive self-indulgence and moral decay; "a decadent life of excessive money and no sense of responsibility"; "a group of effete self-professed intellectuals"

When has the meaning changed AND what does it really mean nowadays in the US of A!

I'm intrigued!


That's how I meant it. I wasn't relating decadence to a brownie, but some people might.  I was simply saying picking up a warm delight, sounds like it's something other than a brownie.....

A veritable mini Fred & François frenzy.

I hope the birthday lads are enjoying the day.
Today (Sunday) is the birthday of Diana Trask. (If anyone remembers or cares to sing along).

Ooohhh, I remember the trasks she recorded! ;)

Oh, that's all right! When I worked in the States people would read my nametag and say: FRANKOIS?! (I "swear"!)

I guess you get more "io" in English than "oi"; in French we have lots of "oi" spellings!

People rarely spell Priscilla right.

Pajamas, hey?!

(We won't tell!) ;)

It's really not that exciting....our jazz band was staying at the same motel that he and his band were staying.  In the morning he stepped out of his room into the parking lot where we were talking to the guys in the band.  He had on his pajamas.  He asked them about when they were going to leave, I asked for his autograph. He was very nice about it.  Just saying he was in his pajamas sounds a lot racier, though.  ;D

Language changes - decadence has gone the way of sophistication and Ironic.

The one that still I find "difficult" to accept is when "lend" is so often used as its opposite  -"borrow".

It's like with the French equivalent; there's lend TO and lend FROM!
I don't know! I might be talking nonsense!

But, HEY, I'm posting! :)

Of course it would have been in  pyjamas if he had been touring here. I'm not sure that racing pyjamas ever caught on as a sport.

Even.... "decadent"! ;)

Now, did he own the pajamas or had he borrowed them?

We'll never know!

I've taken a load of boxes to storage...about a dozen of them (boxes, not loads ;)).  My sister is priming all the trim down the hall and her boyfriend is in the shed out back cleaning it out and fixing it up.  Things are happening. :D Now I have to get gas for the truck.  Just popped in to catch up and say:

Hi!

I'll check in again later.

Gotta keep posting those posts. :)

Is it decadent to wear a Panama and pajamas (pyjamas)?

You tell me!

Good Evening!

Well... I'm now at my parents house so that I could finally see my mother.  In the three weeks that I've been in town, we just haven't crossed paths.  I've seen everyone else - my father, my brothers, my nieces and nephew.  When she called me this morning to wish me Happy Birthday, she asked if I was coming over to the house tonight...  And since I really hadn't planned anything... So... Of course, guess who's not here right now?

;)

Ah.... Guess who just called... My parents decided to head over to one of my aunt's house on the way back from church, so...

Guess I'll head on over to see my niece - and soon-to-be god-daughter.

I've just come back from seeing THE ILLUSIONIST.  No pun intended, I found the film about a magician, or illusionist, both magical and beautiful.  The evocation of late 19th Century Vienna is lovely, the screenplay is intelligent with some good twists, and the cast is wonderful.  Paul Giamatti is such a delight, and I've believed Edward Norton could do almost anything since his first film.  I even liked the score by Phillip Glass and I usually loathe his music.  I thought it fit the film's time frame and mood, and it wasn't a constant wash of music. Like a romance? Like a mystery? Like magic?  See the film.

Does anyone else remember the moment in the BYE BYE BIRDIE film when Albert asks Rosie if she's disappointed, she asks why, and he says something like "Well, you've never seen me in my pajamas before."
