Are you saying you've been "trolling" Mrs.S? I hope not because I posted to your scary thread thinking it was posted in earnest. If not, that's pretty crummy.

No, I'm not trolling in that thread. I am just trying to keep it light - we all need some fluff every now and then. AND, someone did think I WAS a troll.
If anyone does not believe the scary post, I will provide you with my brother's email. He is the little girl's father. Ask him.
I try to find a lighter side to things as often as I can. In the high stress life I lead laughter helps keep it all in check.
Geez, I wish I was making that up .....
Funny thing is when I posted this thread originally I kept thinking of the little troll dolls my daughter had - she had one with a little pink tutu and stuffed boobs on the outfit. I think they were called Norfin Trolls. Remember them?
My elf comment is because I am 5'4" and very Irish ... and then there is the MrsSantaClaus name .....

Here is some "fluff" for your thread.
There's a little old Christian lady living next door to an atheist. Every morning the lady comes out onto her front porch and shouts "Praise the Lord!". The atheist yells back, "There is no God."
She does this every morning with the same result. As time goes on the lady runs into financial difficulties and has trouble buying
food. She goes out onto the porch and asks God for help with groceries, then says "Praise the Lord."
The next morning she goes out onto the porch and there's the groceries she's asked for, of course she says "Praise the Lord." The atheist jumps out from behind a bush and says, "Ha, I bought those groceries -- there is no God." The lady looks at him
and smiles, she shouts "Praise the Lord, not only did you provide for me Lord, you
made Satan pay for the groceries!!"

You can think I have no sense of humor but when people post troll threads I am not amused.
I have a brother-in-law who is the lowest of human forms and a big part of his personality is setting up false situations to try to upset everyone.
In an earlier era I would have had the pleasure long ago of putting a ball through his head at 20 paces.
If you want to present a hypothetical situation everyone can still comment on it.
Lying and presenting it as truth is simply hurtful and mean.
It is a game to prove to yourself how much smarter than all the people you fool.

Mrssanta does not strike me as a troll. She is in the spotlight now, and is being viewed with suspicion because someone at another thread put that same suspicion forth for all to think on.
For what its worth, I dont think she meant for anyone to take her thread as trolling and with this one, she attempted to laugh off those suspicions, but it backfired in a way she didnt expect.
My condolences. Join the crowd, because many have been in your shoes before. It aint pretty.

Sorry, Gravid, now that I know what "trolling" is ... I can see why you would be so upset. No, I am not trolling and that is definately something I would not do. That is just mean. Around here we call that third level thinking. I too, have a brother in law kinda like that - only worse. He will actually set up situations to cause trouble just to see how people react. Nice, huh?
I was just trying to inject a little bit of humor in a bad situation. Unfortunately it was not seen that way.
BUT in the time I have spent here I find my favorite threads are always the "fluff" ones so I thought it would be nice ....
Backfire again ....
On a lighter side - I LOVE the pic of the Norfin Trolls. They are adorable! I just might have to go home and dig them out.

Fluff is also great for counteracting, baldness, lint free environments and seriousness!! Plus just like cream it floats to the top!!!

The Trollmobile was a pic he took of his daughter's troll collection and her Barbie Jeep. I don't recall his AW nickname, but I will never forget his sig line: "Tom in NJ..I won't rest until all the junk in America has a good home"
So that's who I borrowed this from. I remember at the time, I think it was in one of Jerry 12 or Probater's threads, seeing it and was so in love with it I had to make a copy. I, too, remember Tom's sig line. Thanks for the trolls!
