Stop or pop?

[Katielynn]

Not sure how many people are on this site, but I thought I'd try something semi interactive...

I was bored surfing the web and started playing with this green balloon I had laying around. I started to blow it up, and now it's gotten quite big. My question to you is...should I stop, or keep blowing?

I'm going to tie it off for now and wait a bit to see what the group says. Hopefully you don't leave me waiting too long! Tick tock!

Keep blowing of course! That is always the right answer

How big did you get it?

It was a regular 11" balloon. I blew it up quite big, until it began to get a neck and felt hard to the touch. I think I could have gotten it a little bit bigger though. (I always think that though )

Since I didn't hear back from anyone here I felt silly having it lying around after a day or so, so I untied it and let it fly around the room. Maybe I'll try this again sometime?

Yeah maybe give it a try again soon, might get people a little more interested and returning here more frequently

Which gives me an idea for a competition... http://blowtopop.net/showthread.php?t=19056

Vicci! You are determined to make me pop this balloon, aren't you?

Testing now, breath #8. Getting bigger! I'll let you know.

8? Must be getting quite big now...

Re: Stop or pop?

It did get quite big! It already had a neck when I stopped to type at 8. I might be off on my guess for your contest because I always sort of chicken out at the end. I'm all confident when I start, putting deep full breaths in every time. But when it gets pretty full and tight I get scared and start putting all these little half breaths in.

Anyway, I got it really big and was able to put a few more breaths in, and was about to blow again when the thing exploded in my hands. It made a fantastic BANG that echoed in my bedroom.

You should try it again Katie! I was gone for a long time so sadly didn't get to take part in this or Vicci's contest. I'm back now though, keep it up!
