Danny, Danny, don't jump to any conclusions, I was not jumping on
your response it was that I was just reading your post when I decided
to write my post. YOu will however notice I said that I waited
until the water "BOILED" in the cup before I removed it from the
Microwave???

Jeez RK/Tflan, I was only offering a simple caution that
might save someone
from injury, not trying to put down anyone's
methods. Take it or leave it.
RK, I respect your opinion, so when I
first read your advice as to the risks
of using a drill bit instead of
a reamer in certain situations, I changed my
methods. I did this
regardless of the fact that I had successfully been
using just a drill
bit for the past 7-8 years without ever sustaining any
kind of injury.
Just because it "NEVER" happened to me before, didn't mean
that I
rejected your caution that it could.
Before any of you decide
whether I know what I'm talking about, you might
want to do a little
research. I just did. Take a look at these links
before you dismiss
what I say. If you care to ignore it further, well,
that's up to you
too. I hope you wear glasses.

I agree Tom. I've been heating water for 3
minutes, or until it boils, in
a glass coffee cup for about 6 years now
and have "NEVER" had a problem.
All you need is a cup, water, microwave
and good common sense.

Does this mean I can't heat my cup of
water for a minute in my micro? I've
been doing that since about 1988
for my morning cuppa tea. Never had an
explosion. Guess I've been
lucky. Or perhaps Stossel is a whining wienie?
Seriously, that's
one of the silliest "consumer warnings" I've heard. H2O
exploding? Come
on! Remember the old gal who spilled a cup of McDonald's
coffee in her
lap and sued for a zillion bucks? Or the gal who burned her
lip with a
hot pickle slice from Burger King? Or the lady in a wheelchair
who,
while crossing the street against a traffic light was hit by a car
and
she sued the wheelchair manufacturer?And they all won lawsuits? I
and no
doubt millions of others have boiled H20 in the micro with no
untoward
effects.
What the hell ever became of common
sense?
