oooh, with a compliment like that, context may make all the difference! Do tell!!
Fertile? Producing young? This could be goooood!
And, I couldn't agree more that if anyone deserves a compliment it's you.

YIC> Somebody (and I won't mention Tina's name) told me I was prolific today. Now I won't tell you the context in which the word was used as that would ruin the ambiance, but I do so love when she pays me compliments, off-handed or otherwise.
