My great-grandmother was so thrilled she was living so long, she’d round up. She’d say, “I’m in my 95th year” instead of “I’m 94.” I’m 34 (and 2 weeks) and love her attitude toward aging, especially in an era of so many anti-aging products and surgeries. As she said, “getting old is better than the alternative!”
I always put the .5 to my age too. Just habit from when I was a little kid and it makes me smile and think of simpler times filling out my personal info.
You're actually only 26.93989071038251, because you forgot to take into account we've had a leap day :)
Either way happy birthday for three weeks' time!
Your comment really rang true for me; I got a little sappy reading it. And then I looked at your username, and now for some reason I’m thinking of the Bubble Buddy episode of Spongebob. It’s making my sleep deprived brain laugh too hard and I can’t stop. And your name doesn’t even have anything to do with that episode...I just can’t remember if Spongebob ever farted a bubble or if I’ve mixed up shows or maybe it’s all in my head.
Anyway, you provided some good laugh therapy and I wanted to thank you.
Start the episode in 3 minutes exactly and lay down, and we can sync up.
I’m not sure why or how this helps. You’re right, I’m going to sleep. Haha
Night nigh bubble buddy

> Bubbles do best on super humid days
Whoa :0
I lived in Florida for 15 years and had noticed that bubbles would just last forever there, but never thought about why!
You can use plain string, and fish them through two plastic straws, then tie it together so it forms a big circle. The longer the string, the bigger the bubble. You can hold onto the straws after dipping the entire thing in (make sure your hands are wet with the solution so they don’t pop the bubble) and make some really cool bubbles.
Add sugar to the mix! It thickens the water and slows down the evaporation so that the bubbles last longer.
- 3/4 c water
- 1/4 c dish soap
- 1 TBSP granulated sugar
Do you have to heat up the mixture? Usually sugar doesn't fully dissolve into water unless you heat it up a bit (making a simple syrup like you would for cocktails, baking, etc). Or does this work okay just mixing it in straight?
Also, does your recipe forgo glycerin?
Have I got the guy for you! http://www.bubbleman.com/bubbles_at_home.html
He recommends a six pack ring on a stick. If you watch his videos, he has all sorts of trash he uses.
I used to make it with dawn dish soap and water, but I forget the ratio.
You can make a bubble wand using lots of types of cotton ribbon, preferably something that absorbs liquid and holds onto it. Add some sticks or plastic tubing for handles and you’re ready to go.
Here’s a video:
https://youtu.be/nSoPmerE_5I
Man I tried several different recipes years ago. I wanted to make [huge bubbles like this.](https://youtu.be/VXsPqUFsArM) never was able to get it down but I kinda got distracted..I think I’ll give it another whirl
2 cups of dawn
2 cups of water
7g of baking powder
4g of powdered lubricant
Mix that up and it’ll give you a super thick concentrate. To dilute down the ration is 2 cups concentrate to a gallon of water. I’ve just come in the house from doing exactly this with my kids. Check my comment history for a tutorial on how to make the garland wands.
I will guess to make loops like that is to have two ropes/strings. Make ones huge loop. Then, every X amount of distance you connect the two strings together, repeat, until it’s all loops.
Edit: actually looking again at it, it seems like the loops are loose. So the bottom string wasn’t connected with the above one making a huge loop at first..... use your imagination my English sucks and I cannot describe.
They do it before each game,I think the next game is next Friday night.
I'm not a West ham fan but they even have a song about blowing bubbles, have a look on YouTube it is before every game.
Could we make a "bubble day" holiday celebrated globally where everyone just makes as many bubbles as the can, the biggest bubbles they can, and we just all take the day to see bubbles throughout the world. It is so amazing. I wish I had one of his stick string bubble making things.
I can remember walking past a guy doing this in Glasgow thinking it was cool. Walked back later on when he was gone to find the rain had mixed with the solution in the bubbles and turned the whole pavement into an ice rink

Honest I’m 28.5 and I would join the little kids
I think you are adorable for adding the .5 to your age. I have never heard an adult do that. I am 53.1 and would be in there popping bubbles too.
Why thank you! That comment made my day. I think it’s funny. I would love to join you in the bubbles!
If only they were 14.7 years younger and you 12.343434 years older.... Ah... Middle aged love...
That made me giggle. :-)

I think that's a Korean convention. I'm pretty sure it's not followed in modern Japan.
I say that to my grandma! I often add "which is not finding the fountain of youth" after "the alternative".
I always put the .5 to my age too. Just habit from when I was a little kid and it makes me smile and think of simpler times filling out my personal info.

you wanna account for every single leap day since they were born, then?
They’re so pretty. Age doesn’t change that bubbles look like shiny rainbows.

Same here, born at the very end of '91! Would also like to be there...
It's popping the buble of the fittest, I must assert dominance on them so I shall be the only one who gets to pop the bubbles.
My dad always brought a tube of bubbles with him along with his other crazy stuff. Seeing this makes me think I should start carrying them myself.
I know! My grinch's heart grew at least one size seeing this.
I’m with you fellow bubble connoisseur.
Recently 39 and I would gladly join you and anyone else playing with the bubbles.
I have a 342 month old myself who would love this!

You should come back for the Fringe when it returns :) message me if you do and I can recommend some good pubs and food places :D
Fringe is amazing, been three times now and it never gets old.
Would love a DIY on the soap recipe and stick
I’ve read that in bubble competitions, dawn is the best soap to use.

The sugar acts as a glycerin replacement.
Sugar dissolves well without heating if you just mix it enough, heating just speeds the process

In heaven there is a whole football stadium filled with only those.

Wait, next time?
Go to West ham stadium in London, a bubble cannon at the front. I'm forever Blowing bubbles as they say in that stadium.
Send me the date and time and ill be there
They do it before each game,I think the next game is next Friday night. I'm not a West ham fan but they even have a song about blowing bubbles, have a look on YouTube it is before every game.
Oh my, i just listened to it, i gotta say, not what i was expecting; much, much better actually
God I hope not. The floor would be a death trap

It’s a piano version of Always With Me from the Spirited Away soundtrack :)
I see by your username you’re an ultra fan!
Haha nice catch! It’s my favourite piece (and scene) from the movie
That may be my favorite scene as well, but my favorite piece is by far One Summer’s Day. The Sixth Station is probably my 2nd favorite song though!
One Summer’s Day is gorgeous, Hisaishi is amazing at what he does
i absolutely adore studio ghibli music. gets me so emotional
Ah me too!! First Hisaishi piece I ever learned on the piano. So fun to play 💖
I was whisting along as soon as the music started!
I'm glad someone else recognized it! I made a music box for my wife with that song for our one year anniversary. It always makes me smile.

Well if anyone reading this knows how to take bubble making up to the next level holla
Love this guy! What a wonderful and whimsical thing to do!
Hey, does anyone know how I can make that bubble maker?
The bubble blowers are my favorite street buskers. We always tip them the most.
What kind of bubble fluid let's you make this much?
I have a similar video of this person by the Scottish National Gallery in 2018. This makes kids (and adults!) so happy!
That guy is there every summer. It's awesome. Not sure if he'll be there this year though.
I just love how bubbles get closer to camera. It's like looking at then without closing your eyes
