You put water and tea bags in a glass jar and set it in the sun for several hours. You can add other things to the jar as well, or use flavored tea. Any transparent jar will work(I've used a large former peanut butter jar) but some people have to have special ones. -- Mary Loomer Oliver (aka Erilar), philologist, biblioholic medievalist http://www.airstreamcomm.net/~erilarlo

It makes it easier for you, but there are lots of people who smoke, and lots of restaurants and bars make money off them. It would be much easier if it was left up to the owners of the bars and restaurants to decide for themselves if they should allow smoking or cater to non-smokers. That it not satisfactory to you and other rabid anti smokers because you know that they are well aware of where their bread is buttered. They would allow smoking because they know the majority of their customers either smoke or don't care. > > > I find that hard to believe.

Does it? The lingering smell is not pleasant, but sometimes the first few wisps of smoke smell pretty good. |
