Howdy. I also like to figure out how it started. My fetish started when I was 7. Now I'm an "out" looner, in that a lot of people know about it. I'll find the old story I wrote about the start and send it to you if you want.
Hi, K. I would love to talk to you about your interest in balloons (I sent you an e-mail a couple of days ago). You seem like a lot of fun to talk to, and I hope there are fun conversations we can have. Let me know, and (belated) welcome to this forum.
