[FONT=comic sans ms,sans-serif]# 27. Alsatian.

The German Shepherd Dog was originally brought to Britain by the soldiers returning from World War I. They admired the dog's courage and devotion. At that time the anti German feeling was at its height.

So they had to drop the original name and take up another.They named the dog as Alsatian-derived from the region of their origin Alsace Lorraine.-a frontier area between Germany and France-where they are used as sheep dogs.[/FONT]

எங்கள் வீட்டில் ராமசேஷன் என்று ஒரு மிலிடரி மாமா உண்டு! அவர் மிகவும்

அமைதியானவர், எல்லாம் சரியாக நடக்கும்வரை! ஏதேனும் கச்சாமுச்சா

ஆகிவிட்டால், வீடு திமிலோகப்படும். அதனால் அவர் பிள்ளை சொல்லுவான்,

'அப்பா பேரு ராமசேஷன்! கோபம் வந்தா அல்சேஷன்!!' :kev:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

தூங்கும் வரை அமைதியாக இருந்து,
தூள் கிளப்பிக் கொண்டு எழுபவரை

ஆதிசேஷன் என்று அழைக்கலாமா?
அல்சேஷன் என்று அழைக்கலாமா?

அல்சேஷன் :decision: ஆதிசேஷன்

 

[Raji Ram]

தூங்கும்போது ஆதிசேஷன் (Z Z Z = சீறல்)
எழுந்ததும் அல்சேஷன்!! uke:

I'm feeling sick. Must be the lead in this webpage
So VR, how about the eeya chombu (lead vessel) that we used to use for rasam? The rasam used to taste so good in it. I must have been poisoned thousands of times thus. Wonder what effect it created in me?

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Dear Sir,

Have no doubt. Lead is a poison. A slow poison!

So it suits people who are NOT IN A HURRY

and allows them to enjoy the taste of rasam for a long time.

I will advise you to resist and desist the use of lead vessels-

however they may improve the taste of rasam and the

consistency of the "Gettith thayir!"

Poison is a poison - slow or fast, mild or strong!

Roman became victims unknowingly. We become willing victims!

with warm regards,
V.R.

Dear Renu,

Thanks for the link. Very scary to read!

But I know many super seniors in my hubs side, who are strong even after drinking 'eeyach

chombu rasam' for many decades! I think they talk about two varieties of lead - காரீயம் and

வெள்ளீயம் and the second variety which supposed to be better is used in coating the inner

sides of brass vessels used in cooking. One of the Chennai shops boasts that their brand of

'eeyach chombu' is harmless.

[FONT=comic sans ms,sans-serif]# 28. Doberman.

Doberman dogs get their name from a German Tax Collector Ludwig Doberman.

The job of a tax collector is both unpopular and unpleasant. So the tax collector developed a fierce breed of dog in 1880s, to help him in his rounds and with his collection

Now Doberman dogs are use as guard dogs.:wof:

Dear Raji,

Thanks for the photo of Doberman dogs. They Do look very serious. I can't

help thinking what would have happened to the tax collector if instead of him,

everyone else had Doberman in their homes! :scared: :bolt:
with love and regards,

# 29. Chihuahuas.

Mexican Chihuahuas are tiny dogs and weigh less than a kilogram each! They are named after the State of Chihuahua.

They are believed to be the sacred dogs of the Aztecs. They were probably eaten in religious ceremonies by the native Indians.

Beverly Hills Chihuahua, a 2008 family comedy produced by Walt Disney Pictures, catapulted Chihuahuas into lime light and new found fame all over the World!.

Here ........ the cute Chihuahua puppies!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

This happened when we boarded the plane from Denver to Phoenix...

வயது முதிர்ந்த மூதாட்டி ஜன்னல் இருக்கைக்கு வர,
வயதின் காரணமாய், அடிக்கடி எழுந்து போவாரோ என

எண்ணி, கனிவுடன் நான் தந்த ஓர இருக்கையை மறுத்து,
என்னிடம் உள்ள பெட்டியில், உள்ளது என் நாய் என்றார்!

என்னவர் அந்தப் பெட்டியை மேலே வைக்க முயன்ற
பின்னர்தான் பார்த்தார், அதில் உள்ள ஜீவன் ஒன்றை!

பெட்டியை மூதாட்டி வாங்கித் தன் காலடியில் வைத்தார்;
குட்டி நாயோ அதிலிருந்து ஒரு சத்தமும் போடவில்லை!
