I have a clock on the wall. I have to make myself stop often and move. Usually going to the ironing board will take care of it. If I sit for more than 40 minutes, I have a hard time getting up.

I use the clock on my iPhone.

I've done that! I went to sleep, without meaning to, and when I awoke, eggs were, as you say, everywhere -- in the burned pan, on the cabinets and littering the floor. I opened doors and windows, propping open the front door "screen", which is a full length glass storm door, in order to get the smell and smoke out. I was in the kitchen, cleaning up, when I looked down and saw a small dog at my feet, sniffing the floor. He had apparently smelled the eggs and took advantage of my open front door!

LOL mme! What a cute story! I guess scorched egg smells good to doggies! (It sure doesn't smell good to ME!)

I've "blown up" a pan of boiled eggs before too. Must be one of those things that everybody has to do at least once in their lifetime! (And hopefully JUST once!)
