She told me that it got kinda old sometimes, but that she really didn’t mind it.
As a side note, it’s surprisingly hard to say Hi, Opal, when you’re actually saying hi to Opal.
RIP.
What a great word! And if you’re using it correctly, which I presume you are, I see its sense perfectly. From England?
For a change, I’ll give you a related bit from Ulysses (no matter how slightly related, I’m on it, as years of tolerant mods are aware). It’s often cited to show Joyce’s insane attention to onomatopoeia; it works–for that cat, then, at least, who uses three different words–if you think about it and seriously attempt to sound it out:
The cat walked stiffly round a leg of the table with tail on high.
-
Mkgnao!
-
O, there you are, Mr Bloom said, turning from the fire. The cat mewed in answer and stalked again stiffly round a leg of the table, mewing. Just how she stalks over my writingtable. Prr. Scratch my head. Prr.
Mr Bloom watched curiously, kindly the lithe black form. Clean to see: the gloss of her sleek hide, the white button under the butt of her tail, the green flashing eyes. He bent down to her, his hands on his knees.
-
Milk for the pussens, he said.
-
Mrkgnao! the cat cried.
cx: [first word of previous cite of JC should be “she.”]
Fixed.
Which means my preceding post makes me sound completely in error and a) makes no sense of it and b) which is a falsification of my words unprovable in isolation (the change is invisible except for a later post) which is a moderator’s violation of SD quote alteratition, and c) for other reasons (usually silent emendation from a note to mod) so that it and your succeeding one, should be deleted. 
Raises yet again (slightly seriously) the veracity/representation of the literal record of what transpires here.
I used to a tremendous amount of Medieval “textual scholarship,” as Wiki lumps it, and have thought about this–as have others, generally, of course–about this in SD, where my words leave their evanescence imprints (how evanescent?) in the artificial sand.
I take part of that back. The “last edited” line, dated and with reason, clears up the invisibility. I, like most people, I assume, never thought to look there for a comment by anyone except the poster, who of course is not allowed the time gap between 11:30 AM and 12:12 PM.
Also, OP, I saw just now you had some rough going at first facing the manyfaced-with-pitchforks here.
Great OP and stick around.
I’ve been here 7 1/2 years and I can never keep MPSIMS and IMHO apart.
