Are you able to blow up balloons?

[Deleted]

Anyone else struggle with this simple task? It's the reason I avoid parties to this day. Not only does it hurt my cheeks, I also don't know how to tie a balloon.

You're either using the wrong balloons.

or the wrong set of cheeks.

I can blow up a balloon, but doing it manually is for apes and the Amish. Get an air compressor, save your time and lungs.

I used to be able to but I cannot anymore, my asthma has gotten worse and it puts a strain on my lungs that is painful. Tying a balloon now that I can do.

I do it for a living. Find me on Youtube.

You might have the same thing I have. Pneumoparotitis. Dunno why, but if I puff too hard, the air goes to my salivary gland in my right cheek. The pain is located right under my ear, behind my jaw bone, and sometimes it goes a bit under the jaw as well. Glass blowers and those who play wind instruments get it more often than other people.

So what have you been blowing?

I remember for a time I couldn't blow balloons because I was so afraid of them popping.

Why not make your own?

It seems like too much work to just blow up balloons. I can use my flamethrower and burn them instead.

I can blow it up with certain parts of my body. I'm not talking about my mouth, either.
