In fact, I collect balls. What kind of balls
you ask? Many different and diverse
kinds of balls. From small red rubber
balls to bowling balls, I find, clean and care for my balls.
I have a pretzel jar where I keep my small,
colorful bouncy balls. These are my
favorites. I find them when I’m out
treasure hunting with my metal detector.
No silly, the metal detector does not detect balls unless they are brass
or steel, iron, copper, silver or gold.
No, I find these small bouncy balls by being observant and watching
where I’m going. I have become a bouncy
ball snob as it were. If the balls are
discolored or cracked or have, heaven forbid, pieces missing, I throw them into
the trash. Balls that pass my initial
inspection get washed in anti-bacterial soap and then further cleaned and
shined with Avon’s Skin So Soft. This
makes my balls smell nice and they feel soft and smooth to the touch and of
course, Skin So Soft is great for my hands too.
I often find Baseballs and Tennis balls but I
don’t keep them long. I sell some of my
balls at the Play-it-Again Sports shop.
I take a large bag of balls into the store and the shopkeeper inspects
them. He gives me $.50 for the baseballs
and $.10 for the tennis or as I call them, the dog balls. (I call the tennis balls, dog balls because
that is what they sell them for. Dogs
love my balls.)

Some would say that my obsession with collecting balls is NUTZ! They might say that I’m losing my marbles but, they would be way off base. I actually find the marbles that everyone else is losing. I clean and shine them the same way I do with my balls and keep them in a small glass jar that once held a Yankee Candle. If they want to challenge my sanity, ha!, let them. I’ll just look at my jar of their marbles on my coffee table and I’ll know who the sane one is.
Bobbers! Bobbers are not balls.
Footballs! I love footballs and I love watching football. I used to love to play football and I have the scars to prove it. I find Footballs in the park behind my apartment. Usually I find them in the lake. People love to play football in the park but, every now and then they throw the ball into the lake and then eventually it floats down to my end of the lake and it becomes part of my collection. Again, the Skin So Soft treatment makes them feel nice as I hold onto one of my footballs while watching a game.
I have many other kinds of balls, many Golf balls, Soccer balls, Basketballs etc… in my collection. I don’t think my fascination with balls is any more nutz than anyone else’s fascination with Ghosts, Space Aliens, Bigfoots, Fruit Flies or Politics. I hope you don’t think I’m a Nuttball. Thank you for allowing me to show and share my balls with you.
Remember, every January, I’m wishing you a Happy New
Year as we all watch the sparkling ball of lights drop in Times Square.
Bwahahahahahahaha. You do have a lot of balls.

ReplyDeleteI don't think we're related. Thanks for playing.
DeleteThank you for visiting my blog. It is always good to meet new bloggers.
ReplyDeleteI read your previous post (about cats)....and smiled. And smiled again.
As a prior cat "owner" I can nod my head in agreement. Totally.
It didn't take us long to learn "who" owned "who." :))
Thank you again for your visit to my blog.
Happy New Year to you and to those you love.

Maybe a film for you. 101 Balls ;o)
ReplyDeleteI like that idea. Thank you and Happy New Year!
Delete"Please grab your balls...." I try not to use this phrase when I teach a group fitness class and we are using Stability Balls. Hee Hee. I think they would be too big for you to collect.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had the balls to post this!
Who else would have the balls to post this? Thank you for playing and Happy New Year!
DeleteIf there is one thing you do have that is very apparebt from your blog and especially this post is that you do have plent of balls ;) Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you for noticing. Happy New Year!
DeleteMy dd also collects balls, and also favors the bouncy balls. I gotta admit they are fun. My ds is always finding things on the ground - though not with a metal detector. His favorite? A hundred dollar bill.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I like colorful things. Still haven't found a Hundred dollar bill yet.
DeleteThanks for playing and Happy New Year.
Well, that's. um. quite a collection you have there. I have a small jar of marbles that I found in the basement, but that's about it.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm quite proud of my balls. As you know, I'm an Agent too. We must occasionally mingle in the same circles. Tonight I'm going to the NSA New Year's Party. I'll file a report on it tomorrow. I'm still in a Google timeout so, if you could help me share the report, that would be cool. Happy New Year!
DeleteYou definitely have more balls than anyone else I know!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and yours!
Thank you and Happy New Year!
Deletetee hee. :)

DeleteWell, I'd make fun of your collection except that I like marbles. And I have my own set of balls...yarn balls. :)
ReplyDeleteEveryone is losing their marbles and I'm finding them. Yarn balls are cool.
DeleteThanks for playing.
I can't believe you find all those balls! I perked up a bit when you mentioned your metal detector - I have always wanted one of those. Thanks for sharing with us at Creatively Crafty Link Party #CCBG http://tryit-likeit.com/link-party-it
