Yeah, I used to babysit but I now work in a school, and I'm popular with the younger girls! They love Panama day when I wear my pony slippers and pajamas

Which pony?

I have a large collection of straight razors. Somewhere over a dozen. I Justify this by using then when I have the time.

I collect other things as well. Audio gear, old computers, old games. I never have the time for anything but the audio gear.

I collected weights too for a while but I kind of have enough. I don't collect any of these things anymore actually.

Yeah my daughter would love you :) my son even has a couple shirts (but he is more into derpy even though we can't call her derpy lol). Poor lady that named her "derpy" didn't know what it was "slang" for.

I like "pinky pie" cause she is such a clutz lol

I collect toys and I've been doing it since the day I was born :) my momma bought me my first Holiday Barbie a little before she went into labor. I still have it in the box. Now I have all the Holiday Barbies and a few others. Like the birthstone Barbie and Ballerina Barbies. So I have about 30 of them.

I also have toys from my childhood that I found as an adult like a Robin action figure (Batman and Robin), the Power Rangers (also action figures) and Woody from Toy Story. He talks like in the movie and he is my FAVORITE from the collection hehe. I have some plush toys too. Flounder, Sebastian (Toy Story and The Little Mermaid are my favorite movies), some cows, Lisa Frank, Hello Kitty and some cabbage patch kids. I also have Ariel, Eric, Rapunzel and Flynn Rider dolls from the Disney Store. LOL yes, I'm a toy freak!

My justification? Hmm...I guess because I don't have kids or a husband, I haven't really grown up yet? I mean I am an adult going to college and stuff but still...I don't have huge responsibilities like other women do with a man and children to take care of. I'm single and I find joy in toy collecting.

I assume that once I do have my family, I will probably stop collecting toys or not do it as much. I'll be too busy attending them to worry about which Disney Store plush I'm missing. hehe :)

Oh I know who the mane 6 are.

I just don't know if I could get away with RD slippers. I'm a Twilight and Applejack fan myself. Actually Cadence is cool too. None of those would make for good slipper material though. If I wore slippers that is. I always lose them.

I have a very unique collection of tiny rubber ducks, they are smaller then the palm of my hand and I have about 26 of them.

My justification? I don't really have one. They come with a specific drink you can get at Primanti Brothers. I got one once when I tried it out and one of my friends saw it. After that any time someone got that drink, they would later bring me the duck thinking I collected them... I don't do it on purpose but they are cute!

Speaking of accidental rubber ducky collections...

I have 144 rubber ducks (of various sizes and colors and wearing different outfits, even). I used to have a thing about rubber ducks, I didn't really collect them, but I had a couple funny ones and I liked them. And then my cousin (AlaynaJ) purchased and sent me...144 ducks.

I gave them all to my sister when she had her daughter, and she got fed up with constantly trying to pick them all up so she passed them along to my mom, who kept them for the grandkids for a while but she's now returned them to me.

The only other thing I have a "collection" of is nail polish. 47 bottles. And that's after throwing some away.
I can't justify that one at. all.

I had recently learned a guy can never have enough tools. I already have tool sets to keep in the car, boat and truck.
Then there is the overfull tool chest in the garage. I installed a 2" lift on my 4x4 recently. I was in a bind when the heavy axle shifted about 1/4" and the trail arm bolts would not go through the frame.

Then I remembered the 3k chain hoist that I bought back in 2009 for installing the new big block engine in my boat.
Worked perfect for pulling the front axle back into alignment with the frame.
I feel now as if I should buy more tools weekly as I use to buy VCR tapes and DVDS. ;)

You can never have enough tools anyone who says otherwise is foolish. Really the more the merrier.

I do not. I have cowboy ducks, Easter ducks (two sitting in Easter eggs, one bunny duck, and a duck in sheep's clothing...), super hero ducks, Village People ducks (well not really Village People, just dressed similar), chef ducks...but no Frankenstein.

According to the title of this thread, you're supposed to justify that somehow :p

I had a reason for these once.. I have no idea what it was. If anyone must know, it was exactly Twelve Dozen, and each dozen had a different theme. I bought them off of Oriental Trading Company, and it was probably the most awesome gift I've ever given anyone, ever.

If I remember correctly, i put them all in a giant box that she had to dig through to find them all.

Yes! So many ducks. So much digging. So much duckiness.
It was one of those things that's really obnoxious, but hilarious too.
