Do you think this hobby is neat or interesting?
My hobby is collecting inflatable pool toys. I have been doing this for a long time. I am just wondering what other people think of it since my parents don't like it much. Your input is greatly appreciated.

I don't think I know anyone else who collects those.....
If it is something you enjoy...who cares what anyone else thinks? Do you collect different types of toys or toys from exotic places? How many do you have?
See?......I am interested.

I have a penchant for inflatable pool toys because they are bright, colorful and remind me of the fun, summer days gone by. At bit of nostastic, but, again, for the sake of nostalsic, what does it matter what it is so long as it brings back better days. On their side, if you keep them all inflated and there is no room left for the family care but, othewise, if somethings brings you pleasure and isn't illegal nor hurt anybody else, then it is their problem. If there IS a space storage why not rent a commercial storage place and enjoy your treasures in privacy, and at the next pool party--you are well stocks! Don't let anybody else rock your boat (no pun intended), find joy in those brightly colored, squishy objects! Cheers!

I think it's a cool hobby because it's unique. But where do you keep your collection? All those inflated toys must take up a lot of space.

well... i think that is really inovative. kudos for you for being able to do something outside the box. it is so cool for being able to be an individual and not care what people think. i bet you have come across some neat and slightly weird pool shaped things. its very interesting and creative. i love inflatible pool toys they like are my life savers. i am such a fish its sad. but i would keep collecting dont let any one stop on your inflatible fishies. lol keep at it. good luck:)

I have a question for you:
Does it matter what people think?
It doesn't matter if it's the coolest or dumbest hobby in the world, if you enjoy it, then it doesn't matter what other people think.
And by the way, it is pretty interesting, I don't know of any one else that collects pool toys lol.

That's pretty interesting. If you keep it up you may be able to open a museum with all your pool toys and yes I would come to visit!
I wonder if your collection is un/common? Or if there already is such a museum.
Do you have a favorite and how many do you have?

I see nothing wrong with your choice / collection !!. Are you willing... or do you offer some of your collection out for use to others ?... It might even be a good idea to rent some out mainly to those that live near your home !?!, friends also !! just make up some rule for friends that may feel: "Since we are friends I'm ?SURE? he wo'nt mind if I'm late in returning?it?.. a $3 late fee might help your pocket a`little too !?!. That way you might be able to add to the intrest & or fun of owning a collection

An interesting collection is to the individual that does the collecting. Take Henry Winkler (Fonz of Happy Days), he collects cardboard boxes.
I live in the midwest & collect sea shells - - like there is a supply of that on central dry land.
I know people that collect: horse bridle/saddle decorations, bobble head toys, and door knobs.
Just because your collection isn't the 'typical' or 'basic', don't make it weird or should discourage you to disconntinue.
