Mamaliga Forever
I love those dear hearts and gentle people
Who lived in my home town
Because those dear hearts and gentle people
Will never ever let you down
They eat malai and mamaliga,
That’s how their weekend goes
And when there is no more mamaliga,
They eat the picket fence and ramblin’ rose
I feel so welcome each time that I return ,
They ask me if I brought some flour ,
I love the dear hearts and gentle people
Who eat the mamaliga every hour.
I feel so welcome each time that I return
That my happy heart keeps laughin’ like a clown
I love the dear hearts and gentle people
Who live and love in my home town

Do You Recognize?
Joe Poras writes:I have attached a picture of my grandfather taken just about one hundred years ago. From the beautiful fountain in the background which is located in some park, would you know if this was taken in Czernowitz or Vienna and where?
Do you recognize the place this photo was taken?

Petrified Bahachka.
http://i056.radikal.ru/0909/bd/d551cc17af84.jpg
Where Putyla river meets Cheremosh river stands a rock. Sheer 30 meters up. The Petrified Bahachka. Legend tells story of very rich and mean woman. A Bahachka that is. Peasant woman living nearby had beautiful daughter who was serf to Bahachka. Once when woman hungry she went to see Bahachka to beg for daughter and for bread. Instead the Bahachka threw to her stone, big as bread. Instantly Bahachka turned into rock. 30 meters tall. Where Putyla river meets Cheremosh. In the heart of Hutzul country, Bukovina.
Further down on Cheremosh is rock called “Zhaba”, that is frog. http://i050.radikal.ru/0909/e2/392fc41e895a.jpg All this not far away from from Twin City on Cheremosh (not Mississippi) that is Vizhnitz and Kuty. Here was border between Moldova and Polish before Austrians came. Border good for Jewish tradesman make good business. Therefore many Jews and great Rabbis of Vishnitz dynasty. Baal Shem Tov also went lost in woods for days. Before he turned holy.

On a peaceful winter morning , the front was quiet but then at 7 sharp:
In a two pronged break- out from two strongholds the troops moved outswiftly.By 8 they met at plot 68 . The encirclement was complete.All the encircled troops put down their arms and surrendered theterritory.Operation Winterstorm was over.Hardy
The Rotating Chicken question
Recently, Anny Matar and others wrote about the Rotating Chicken on the Cz-L list.
Here’s a snippit of what Anny wrote: […]I dreaded Yom Kippur becausemy Zazia, as we called grandfather, turned the chickens over our heads andwe had to say:”Mir zum Leben dir zum Tod” (me to life and you to death) and that was a terrible thing, never to be forgotten. Then the Shohat came, by then I was as far and as fast as my feet could carry me when I only saw that man……)!!!
Now my question is: from what did this originate; and what is the meaning; and why a chicken? Enquiring minds want to know!

Multiple identities.
By signing in with more than one identity may have many advantages :
1. It will increase the population and the number of blogs.
2. You can express yourself freely . You can tell your alter ego what you think about him.
3. You may find out things you never knew before.
