Lids

These are lids of different sizes. 

Irregularly Shaped YMCA Basketballs

These balls have late-stage tumors and are probably not long for this world. But for now, they make dribbling fun! I'm going to do every little thing in my power to keep them from being thrown away as long as I can. If that includes making them part of holiday decorations, so be it. Giant Easter eggs!

Bones.

Mostly cow bones. Though Rodgey found a bag of deer parts on the side of the road and brought them home. Like a dog. Like a dog.

Merry's Magnets

Not my magnets. Merry's magnets. A lota nice magnets. I might've broken one of them.

Shovels!

It's shovels. It's various shovels. With a broomstickertwo. I've found about 7 more shovels and shovel parts since this picture was taken.

Found Driver's Licenses

Found Driver's Licenses. I've always been hesitant to keep a woman's driver's license, should I find it on the floor or the outside floor (ground). Men's I have never had a problem with and in fact treasure. Zebulon J. Meyers has been one of my favorite secondary driver's licenses and aliases since I was a teenager.

Rodgey's Cheap Eyeglasses

He buys in bulk so that he can afford to lose each pair a day after purchase. Many of them would appear to be women's glasses.

Old Raddishes

It takes an awfully lot for Rodgey to throw out any food. Or any near food, or anything that has been near food and might still smell like a food he considers delicious. I once poured out a 10 year-old cinammon scented candle, and he freaked out across the yard, thinking it was stewed tomatoes I was pouring out. And he said terrible things, and it never stops hurting.

ill-advised pants

Often I'll take up the cause of any really bad idea.

Personalized Shoe Laces

The gift shop at the old Springfield-Branson Regional Airport was good for one thing: personalized shoe laces. It was great for another thing: personalized watches. Maybe this blog should be about personalized items in general. No, I think I'll save that. One set of shoe laces reads "Daniel", and the other reads the rarely-used "Danny". This shoe lace collection was photographed with a nice yo-yo backdrop.

Yo-Yo's

In middle junior high school, I began a series of collections that would turn into junior-high-wide fads that everyone got involved in. Even teachers. Even guidance counselors. The first of these was yo-yo's. Where are these yo-yo's today? I don't know. No, they have done the way of so much lost stuff, to wait for us in that nowhere place where every forgotten thought and thing is.


Other Junior High collection fads I started included Pez Dispensers and... bubble accessories.

Family Pictures

Old Pornography

Soon.

Pears!

Soon.

Stolen Soup Spoons

I love stolen anything. Stolen traffic signs, stolen copyrighted photographs, stolen kisses from the Hershey Factory in Pennsylvania... All of it.

Hangers

I'm fairly impressed with this picture. But it in no way shows the breadth of my hanger collection. And I never really even tried to collect them. I guess that is probably true for most folks. 'specially if you've moved into a new place where someone left hangers and you weren't about adding them to your collection. Bolstering it. Ooo. There's a collection idea. Bolsters.

Varied Tape

Lots of tape.

Gosh I love tape. All different kinds. I could befriend people merely on the fact that they love tape as much as I do. Some of the tape in this stack I'm not sure is tape. But, this includes duct tape, Duck tape, masking tape (which is, admittedly, not all that good at making masks), red electric tape I found somewhere and prize, and some drywall tape. Have fun!

Key Rings

This is not the best representation of my key ring collection.
