Put the mug in for 2:30. You might have microbubbles, but it will be boiling.

(adjust time downward for less than a mug of water. In fact, consider hitting that "beverage" button you don't use for the correct timing for your power level)

Just don't put the teabag in the water in the microwave.

It will be as much tea as any bagged tea be.

I tend to heat my tea water on the stove, and use loose tea in either my 2 cup or 4 cup glass pots.

I went to glass because I have some of those chrysanthemum teas that bloom when you pour the water on them, and I like to watch.

You mean those chrysanthemum flowers or those blooming flower tea? I've always wanted to get those blooming flower tea, but they're rather expensive, so I just stick with my Ten Lu tea.

Blooming flower teas are what I mean. They are expensive, but you can get more than one brewing out of them ... they only look really pretty the first time, though.

About bumperstickers ... if there are so many that you can barely see the back of the car through them, it's a liberal. Conservatives typically have one NRA sticker on the back window, and maybe one or two stickers on the bumper, unless the individual is fanatically pro-life and has to announce it to everyone else driving behind them. I should probably slap a sticker over the scratch on my paint. Oh, and we peel off the election ones after the election is over. I still see a lot of "O" stickers, almost like people need to constantly remind themselves that he's president. Kind of like the lawn signs that had to rot off the posts.

Oh, and ....

I am strong.

I am invincible.

I can do anything.

I am woman.
