[[notes]//I noticed today that apparently with the switch to the new "mobile" format that the style default on the page that you compose your posts has been changed to "paragraph"..from "normal"..but since I never change that setting didn't "catch" it until today..but I can still switch it back and so now I'll be using the "normal" again..took me long enough to figure that out..dummkopf..except for converting a poem I had written on "Trollie's Poetry Corner" to the "normal" style have decided to just leave the other posts as/is..../....I noticed this morning that I had past the 50K plateau on the "hit meter"..only took me 18 years to get that many]....

When I was checking the weather for the week this AM to figure out my walking schedule discovered that both today and tomorrow will be in the 30s and Wednesday thru Friday in the 40s but rain forecast for all or part of all three days..two trips..the ATM for my "ten-day walking around money"(today) & to Aldi's for groceries[tomorrow) ..now if it had been nicer weather..was lower 30s this morning with the windchill in the mid-20s..I'd had just take the quick walk up the hill and gone to the ATM today and Aldi tomorrow..but..since I'd have to bundle up for the weather seemed a waste of effort for such a short walk..ergo..decided to do both errands today..Aldi first and the ATM on the way back..just the usual fare at Aldi except they had some nice pencil thin asparagus & and there was still a piece of that good dry italian salami in the "finds" so I got that as well..a nice chat with the check-out girl..nice lady..and then to the ATM..I find it more convenient to use the ATM..a drive-thru..or in my case a walk-thru then going to a teller in the bank proper..with I do when I have some business that I needed to see the manager about..besides the ATM is "open" 24/7..../....still a couple of loose ends to tie off before I take my rest..ergo.."nite all"....

About This Blog

at one time i had this blog, but decided to spin off a links blog and a poetry blog years ago ( you can find links below).........but what's left is a hodge podge of what doesn't fit in the other two....sometimes silly, sometime mundane, some times serious....so in the words of an old TV series:

"You have entered the Twilight Zone".

[Please Note: only the poetry blog still exist..so this has become a bit more of a catch all then before..and except for just references to it my online gaming is on a separate blog..links are below....

Origins

When I started blogging I needed a title for the blog, and got to thinking about an old TV sitcom "Car 54 where are you", and since I was 54 at the time, and my "good" friend BP had hung me with the nick troll...."Troll54 where are you?" was born.....he once had commented that I was the most even temper and least bigoted person he had ever met........by that he meant, I was always in a bad mood and hated everybody.......therefore I was a troll..........after beating the carp out of him, i decided that he was probably right, the beat-down was verbal, not physical, dang the kid was 8" taller then me, I may be ornery but I ain't stupid

About the same time as the blog began, I found a game called "Blogshares" ....was in beta at the time....and now rests where internet games go when they die.......I was there for the beta......and there for its' passing.......but having looked around and viewing the players' forum.......I decide I need a persona....and to avoid the stigma of "troll", out of my warped mind the "Madtrollie" was born.....complete with a bridge and an extreme hatred of noobs.......well that developed over time.....but privately.....always sent gifts.....advice.......and at times involved them in my nefarious schemes......except as the writer of this warped blog...the Madtrollie has become more or less benign in his old age.......but beware when least expected.......

Avatars

For many years online I lived behind avatars when ever a picture was asked for, first one was a budgie on a skateboard, then there was the cat with a yamaka, then it was the parrot with a yamaka and a tallith......you can still see him wandering around this blog looking for matzah.........whether I finally came to the conclusion that at least I should show my true-self, or I lost an argument with that orthodox parrot, or the simple fact that this 70+year old man finally figured out how to use the camera that is embedded in my desktop... but the bottom line is I've decided not to hid behind avatars any more...just a hoodie and a pair of shades or now a snap brim hat, shades and my neck pillow
