Luckily no. My sister has gone to a few balloon gatherings in New Mexico though. Not sure how many times she's been up in one.

You're not standing around for hours in close proximity to thousands of other people when you go to the store, for one.

If you EVER want the economy to return to normal, you need to STOP THE SPREAD. All it takes is ONE person taking it home to their family, and it can just balloon out from there.

STOP BEING PART OF THE PROBLEM.

The first of the two I picked up was a female doctor in hotel room. Two tanks of party balloon helium with a hose attached to a plastic bag over her head. I never knew there was such a thing.

Good explanation.

A way to demonstrate it is to inflate a balloon a little, draw dots on it at intervals, then inflate the balloon.

From any dot you look at, all other dots are moving away from it.

Wait, did the guy slide that balloon into the horse? On purpose?

Piggybacking off newtboys comment. Mylar balloons, are the one thing i find more than anything else, when i'm hiking off trail in nature. Those things never break down.

When I was a child, my school would have every child buy balloons to release together by the thousands with our names and the school's phone number, and whoever's balloon was reported from the farthest caller got some minor prize.
Today I understand how insanely wrong that is, littering most of Texas with latex and plastic, most of which wouldn't be recovered.....for busy work/entertainment.
Please don't be a part of an intentional balloon releases of any size, but especially not with Mylar balloons.

Interesting.
Why can't we use hydrogen balloons to put instruments at the right levels above earth, I wonder?
Do they think the static fluctuations, including the rifts, can be attributed to the almost total lack of atmosphere, or the lack of magnetic field on MARS, or something else?
Maybe I should read the NASA release.....nope, no answers there, only a near verbatim transcript of the narration.

Did you mean sphincter?
"festering balloon knot"? -@newtboy

We all react to Trump the same way....he's a herpes sore covered meth head screaming incoherently on the street corner.
At least some Republicans are coming around to admit reality, but many are still so in love with him they simply cannot admit that to themselves and continue to kiss his festering balloon knot. They all have his puss on their lips, don't let them forget it.

Didn't some mouth-breather on 4chan attach a bazillion helium balloons to a toad and basically send in into the stratosphere?

I seem to recall that.

could we maybe stop with the self-masturbation?
not saying I am against two guys jerking themselves off.
but I prefer that to be more of a private event.

with balloons and maybe a bubble bath.
