Great word Nosila! I was a little surprized to have made an appearance in your sentence though... Hmm, do I know anyone named 'Rosie'?

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.

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").
