Troll54 where are you ?

Thursday, October 21, 2021

Well its been 6 days since I last posted (Bad!! Trollie..no biscuit) & the sidewalk is still tore-up..well at least they have the forms into pour the new slabs but that been done for a couple of days & according to the advanced weather report should weather tomorrow & Saturday & the rain for at least part of the day for the next 10 days or so..anyways I hope they get the concrete poured before the snow flies..now here's my immediate problem..I have my regular 6th month check-up with the doctor#08:45 tomorrow..& you get three guess & you'll only need one..which sidewalk do I normally use to get there?..oy vey..so I took a little recon walk just before sitting done to write this posting to figure out if there was a safe way to get there without having to walk in the street..what I would only do as a last resort..the idea of walking on one of the busiest streets in the small city I live in even@ 08:30 in the morning is something I would rather not attempt..did have a reasonable way that does entail a little "off-roading" so if I'm careful shouldn't be a problem..[knock wood}..I do have some experience..while in college I competed in cross-country & at the time our home course was ranked the toughest college cross-country course in the Northeastern USA..in the western foothills of the Pocono Mountains..maybe 400 flat yards out of 4.6+ miles..on the other hand that was 52 years ago this Autumn..ergo..I will endeavor to be very cautious...../....over the last free days I have final found both at T J Maxx & Aldi an assortment of salami sausages..whole not sliced..haven't been able to find them recently so bought about 4 different varieties & have been enjoying them thinly sliced for my second meal..a long with a roll..a few olives & a potion of a "room-made" tuna pasta salad..what is commonly referred to as a "cold plate lunch"..have been enjoying them greatly..../....as I mentioned above I have my regular check up with the doctor tomorrow..have been feeling pretty good of late so don't anticipate any problems but than I am nearing my 74th year on this rock we call Earth & lets face it..the clock is ticking & none of us now when we might pass our "use by date:"..dang..enough with the serious talk..have all but everything that needs done today done..just my meal & my shower & meds to attend to before I take my rest..ergo.."nite all"....[16:59 UTC-4]..../....

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
