The thing is still reminding me of them (all girls) every morning! --- End quote --- For you it's like a precious gem. No spoiler tag here, so...

I have a kitchen timer (minutes and seconds) that makes that exact sound. I use it to wake me after sleeping for an hour or so because I get uncomfortable after that when in bed. I always thought it was some kind of digital square wave thing which would be an efficient use of the coin cell battery that it uses. Even though I use it every day, that battery lasts for half a year or more. |
