Posted - Oct 19 2011 : 08:37:21 AM In one of my classes, my students were studying synonyms. The word was hungry and the synonym was PECKISH. I love it, what a great farmgirl word. Now instead of saying I am hungry I will say I am peckish.

Posted - Oct 20 2011 : 08:56:52 AM Laurie, I agree I think I am peckish most of the time. As a matter of fact I had to try on about ten things this morning because my pecking is making my clothes too,tight. Sharon, I think "Winter bear tired" is very descriptive of how I feel much of the time. I think I'll try using that,too.

Posted - Oct 19 2011 : 5:33:26 PM Love the Peckish word! My problem is that I am ALWAYS Peckish and now instead of being a "Bantam" I am more like an oven stuffer roaster....LOL (Couldnt resist!) Smiles,

Hubby and I have been going through Voyager together. I watched it a ton when it came out and I'm even more impressed with it now while I'm older and have a greater perspective. Everything The Voyager crew does on a weekly basis is monumental enough for commendations and there's a lot of "just below the surface" storylines going on that you have to watch the characters closely to get. I'll always have a soft spot for Michael Dorn as Worf though!
