Hi Jamie, Yes, you can hear when water boils. And even if you can't hear, you can tell. The way I do that, not being able to hear these days, is to put my hand on the handle of the pot. I can tell by the vibration when it starts to boil and when it is really boiling.

Now I have to know, how do you know when the water is boiling. I KNOW you don't touch it to see. Is it something you can hear? And now I am going to go to bed (back to bed, I should say). I want to bring my number of books added to the collection up to a round 800 in 2010. (I have 617 that I've scanned so far in the past 3 years). So I need to scan a book about every other day. -- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: Who Do I Talk To? by Neta Jackson Earn cash for answering trivia questions every 3 hours: http://instantcashsweepstakes.com/invitations/ref_link/49497 See everything I've read this year at: www.michrxtech.com/books.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
