Body Pump

410707_web_r_k_b_by_stephanie-hofschlaeger_pixelio-deMein Jüngster (Kleinster kann ich nicht mehr sagen, da er fast so gross ist wie ich), hat am Samstagmorgen immer Training. Da es ein sehr weiter Weg ist, fahre ich ihn ab und zu. Es ist eigentlich eine herrliche Stunde Freizeit während ich auf ihn warte, da ich ungestört mit der Tasse Kaffee in der Hand Zeitung lesen kann. Ich warte auf ihn und dann fahren wir nach Hause.

Das letzte Mal hat mich Musik überrascht und ich entdeckte eine Turngruppe. Es sah sehr harmonisch und rhythmisch aus. Ich bekam Lust mitzumachen und entschied mich es in der nachfolgenden Woche zu probieren. So bin ich in einer Stunde “Pump” gelandet. Man bekommt Gewichte, Matte, Stopper und dann geht es auch schon los.Read More »

410707_web_r_k_b_by_stephanie-hofschlaeger_pixelio-deMy youngest (I can no longer say «smallest» because he is almost as tall as I am) always has training on Saturday morning.

Because it is quite a long distance, I sometimes drive him. It is actually a peaceful refreshing hour while I wait for him, because I can read the newspaper,undisturbed with a cup of coffee in my hand. I wait for him and then we drive home.

The last time I was surprised by music and discovered a gymnastic group. It looked very harmonious and rhythmic. I felt a desire to participate and decided the following week to give it a go.

Minus is dead

Michaela MerzLeave a comment

475458_web_r_b_by_bernd-wachtmeister_pixelio-deOur female betta-fish Minus has not really won our hearts. First she fought with her male partner Plus, who was deadly injured and then she killed her companion, our snail Schneck. This was too much brutality in such a small area for us beginners. We somehow sensed, that we may have contributed to this tragedy due to our incomplete knowledge. Read More »

Minus ist tot

475458_web_r_b_by_bernd-wachtmeister_pixelio-deUnser weiblicher Betta-Kampffisch hat unsere Herzen nicht wirklich erobert. Erst hat sie ihren männlichen Partner Plus tödlich verletzt und dann hat sie noch den Schneck gefressen.

Das war uns Anfänger Aquarianern zu viel Brutalität auf kleinem Raum. Irgendwie ahnten wir, dass wir es durch unser unvollständiges Wissen mit verschuldet hatten. Jedenfalls war es kein tolles Erlebnis. Read More »

Was ist die Moral der Geschichte?

Michaela MerzLeave a comment

422772_web_r_k_b_by_uli-carthauser_pixelio-deLisa war klug. Vielleicht nicht die beste in der Klasse aber immer an der Spitze.

Sie war klein und dünn. In der Pubertät gehörte sie nicht zum Objekt der Begierde der männlichen Mitschüler. Das nagte an ihrem Selbstvertrauen.

Die wenigen, respektive der Einzige, der Interesse gezeigt hat, hat ihr überhaupt nicht gefallen und jene, die ihr gefallen hätten, hatten keine Augen für sie.Read More »

What is the moral of this story?

Michaela MerzLeave a comment

422772_web_r_k_b_by_uli-carthauser_pixelio-deLisa was clever. Perhaps not the best in her class, but always close to the top. She was small and thin. In her puberty she was not an object of desire for her male fellow students. That gnawed at her self-confidence. The few, not to say the only one, who had showed any interest her, she didn’t like at all and those she liked had no eyes for her.Read More »
