{Groan} we have an elderly aunt that does that - takes an hour to get her out of there for a day out or anything. Mind you, we tease her about turning off the gas and the water while she's at it...
we used to keep the microwave unplugged unless we weren't usiong it...everything else is pretty much on surge protectors (not the fridge, though), so we just take our chances, but I can kind of understand

If someone were to track her critical circuits and mark the breakers, she could make quick work of her worry-job.
I will wire my new house so 1 switch near my bed will do the job, everything off but the refrigerator, done so there is no field at that switch.
Seriously OT, huh?
