New ferret balls, new ferret balls!  Target had something called an indoor
bocce ball game set made.  There are 8 balls, 2 each yellow, red, green
and blue.  The balls are about the size of softballs, embossed with an
overlapping circular pattern and very hard, heavy plastic.  Perfect for
being chased by ferrets.  The price is $5.00 a set.  That's 63 cents a
ball.
 
But wait, there's more.  It comes with 2 small 'marker' balls, about the
size of ping pong balls, white, heavy, hard.  So ball for ball, that's only
50 C per!
 
But if you order in the next 15 minutes (no, no, I've been watching too
many infomercials!) you also get - a picture frame!  Ok, they don't say
"And here's a picture frame", but what it is is the balls come in a silver
plastic carrying case.  It has round holes, 8 of them on each side, edged
with a little pattern, sort of like embroidry stitches.  There are a series
of boppers and holes that snap together to hold all your balls in.  By only
snapping the 2 closest to where the front and back join, the carry thing
can be set up on a table by it's handle, and rests securely.  Trust me,
this works!  You can display 16 of your favorite ferret photos in 2.75
inch, round openings.
 
I am not making any of this up.  For $5.00, you get 10 balls and a 16
picture display frame suitable for, say a shelter's sales table at a show.
Every oz.  of this purchase is useful.

PS: I think this is why Linda Iroff sends me those messages that say
"Georgia, you need to get a life, you are getting a little weird".
