Howdy!
When I first started twisting, I twisted toward me, and my wrist would get
very tired quickly.  At a workshop I learned to twist the balloon away from
me.  The instructor said it would make your wrist last longer.  Since I
changed, my wrist lasts longer.  I learned Friday that it is not a good idea
to decorate a cake in corelli lace right before you go out to twist
balloons!
I have no complaints about the bags of 100.  On the fourth I decided to
count how many balloons we twisted.  I started with fresh bags of 100 of
each color we chose (we limited the colors and the selection of shapes
because of the long line) and counted how many were left.  My son and I
twisted about 210 balloons in 2 hours.  It was a little slow because most of
the kids were not real quick in telling what they wanted.  Even with a
poster displaying the choices, they still had to be asked and us wait while
they slowly told us.  {This took place at the local 4th of July celebration
activities that were held at the George Bush Presidential Library!}
  Anyway,  I just figure my ordering this way:  If I would normally order 1
bag (144), I order 2 bags (200), and that way I know I won't run out, and
there is no waste because they will be used.

Have fun ya'll!
