As a newbie in the balloon art, I am having soooo much trouble blowing up my
balloons.  I have a hand pump but it seems to slow.  Does anyone have any
suggestions for being able to blow them up faster?  I would like to blow them up
by mouth but I haven't been able to even get one started (I know that for you
lungpower people, that is hilarious).  Are there any suggestions?  All are
greatly appreciated.
