PM sent:cheers:
I got 32 Private messages before yours willierower. But if they dont pan out Ill let you know. Id say the balloon has reached the neutral buoyancy stage.

Wait.
Now that I think about it: I really think the manufacturer of this balloon had a selfish agenda. Why on earth would they omit the word "soon" from their "get well" balloons?
See it all adds up doesnt it? Omit the word "Soon" from the get well balloons, and not only will the company save money during production and enable layoffs of the "soon" crew...but I suspect the new marketing strategy also involved an idea that if there is no indication of when the patient should "get well" ... maybe that patient would remain ill long enough for a concerned family member or co-worker to consider purchasing another "get well" balloon when the helium no longer provides adequate buoyancy in the first one possibly promoting a longer illness?
Corporate pigs!

I think that balloon actually might have came from the recent "NW Well-diggers Assoc." conference. It's their new slogan.....

When that balloon loses it's bouancy, just fill it with all the hot air from the mother-in-law. It should stay aloft for years to come after that.:pp

Your right...Just another prime example of "The Man" trying to hold an ifisher down.:D
Update:
The balloon with no "soon" has been taken into custody after a recent incident seriously compromising the health of its current owner. It is too traumatic to speak about in detail at this time, but I will post the transcripts of my testimony in the upcoming product liability suit, after the jury reaches its verdict in the case of:
RvW (plaintiff) VS. The Balloon with no "soon" people (defendant)
My sincere apologies to the many hopeful owners here. This balloon is no longer available.

Be careful folks, this guy has been known to give free things away, but be careful of the "Strings Attached" there is a reason he didn't mentioned that, look out.

I was a union worker on the "Don't Get Well Soon" assembly line. After a 50% layoff all you get is the "Get well". Corporate greed!!!!!
