Great word Nosila! I was a little surprized to have made an appearance in your sentence though... Hmm, do I know anyone named 'Rosie'? - Tigger, 2008-02-12: 00:44:00
Cheers, Tigger...did not realize until after I posted it there were two of you...my friend's cat looks just like that one in cartoon and that's his name. - Nosila, 2008-02-12: 00:51:00

Oh, I see now. Rosie must be that lady that feeds me and prattles on and on about her own life. I usually just call her 'Dear' (as in "Yes, Dear"). - Tigger, 2008-02-12: 01:28:00
