Alright, who stole all of my lighters this time?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 93/100. mibngold (1524) 4 years ago

I had a ton of lighters and just like that...they are all gone. I'm thinking of putting velcro somewhere on my body, that way I'd stop losing them..Of course, knowing me...I'd forget to put it back on the velcro!
GO STEELERS!!!

It was not me. I swear. Even as little as a year ago it might have been but since fully quitting smoking I have no need for lighters.

Just stop looking and you will find at least one. That is what always worked for me. Luckily I live with two smokers so I was never without a lighter even when I really was.


myLot reputation of 93/100. mibngold (1524)  4 years ago

May I ask you how you managed to quit smoking? I have tried almost everything & nothing works! I wanna quit but can't do it on my own! Thanks...in advance!


myLot reputation of 86/100. razcal2267 (9670)  4 years ago

A better question is what didn't I do LOL I am not sure any of this is going to help you because everyone needs to do what works for them. The one thing no matter what is to keep busy.

I had quit cold turkey for over a year and then was stupid and lit up a cigarette. Since then I have tried cold turkey again, the patch, walking, drinking water or brushing my teeth every time I have a craving. Heck I even lasted four months and 8 days just to prove to a friend that I could last longer then could.

What worked this time and hopefully this is the last time I have to try again is keeping busy. I handed a friend half a pack and told her I was done. I basically locked myself in my bedroom for a week (besides work and when I had to be around other people) I just needed to be away from those that smoke until I could get over the crankiness. I have gotten back into hobbies that I used to enjoy but stopped doing. Now I can deal with others smoking around me for the most part but I do still get cravings and when that happens I have to remove myself from the area.


Good Luck!

LOL, this reminds me of when I was younger. I worked at a local bar as a manager. After closing on the weekends we would have amazing house parties. Well a few of the bouncers were single guys and they all lived together. One of them was always losing his lighters and then taking other people's. If he borrowed a lite for his cig you had to either light it for him or remind him after it was lit to give the lighter back. Well apparently this guy lost all of his lighters, then lost all of his room mates lighters and would tear through the house trying to find a lighter. One of the other guys decided to play a trick on him. He purchased several packages of lighters from the dollar store that contained at least ten lighters. He placed these lighters all over the house just for the other guy. The expression on his face as he walked through the house in his hang over stupor was hilarious as he discovered all of the lighters. It does not sound as funny now I guess you had to be there to enjoy it. AT the time it was hilarious. Good luck with the velcro deal!

I used to have this problem when I was married, and my ex and both step-sons were smokers. I solved the problem by declaring that from henceforth, everyone had to pick a color; all black lighters would now belong to me, no matter who had purchased them. Anyone found in my house in possession of a black lighter would have to turn it over, whether they lived there or not. Now, while that is a bit extreme, it did work, and my lighters stopped disappearing; in fact, I wound up with an over-abundance of them.lol


myLot reputation of 93/100. mibngold (1524)  4 years ago

That is a great idea, except for the fact that I live alone!


myLot reputation of 77/100. myklj999 (7218)  4 years ago

Wow.confused

Has there been a rash of lighter thieving in your neighborhood?

(Just joking.)

You've got me at a loss for words now.


myLot reputation of 86/100. razcal2267 (9670)  4 years ago

Maybe the dog is trying to tell her its time to quit?

Have you noticed any diggings in your yard lately?

I am not sure about you but my lighters are always gone as well but my spouse always takes mine. He will leave the house with every lighter in the house. I try to keep one in all of my pockets so that he can not take them....lol


myLot reputation of 93/100. mibngold (1524)  4 years ago

Well, since I live alone...hmmm! I don't know! I had about 6 of them and now I am lucky if I can find one!

When I used to smoke, someone made me a lighter holder on a chain. It was really pretty, but it made me feel foolish. Instead of wearing it, I hung it on the door handle of my closet. I could use it without removing it from the holder, so there as always a lighter in it. Then, when the evil spirits that eat lighters had had their fill throughout my house, I still knew where I could find one!


myLot reputation of 77/100. myklj999 (7218)  4 years ago

And they are HUNGRY spirits, aren't they?thumbup


myLot reputation of 96/100. cobrateacher (4909)   ranked 467 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  4 years ago

They're the same ones, I think, who munch away on things like the spare or the extra garage door opener. I know for a fact that they ate all the stuff I've been searching for all week! It's a big house, but it's not that cluttered!


myLot reputation of 77/100. myklj999 (7218)  4 years ago

Do you think they're the same ones that eat all my extra AA and AAA batteries?confused


myLot reputation of 96/100. cobrateacher (4909)   ranked 467 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  4 years ago

Of course they are. They occasionally leave one behind, but nothing ever seems to need just one.

It was not me!!! I have not smoked for 3 months. Mind you I carry a lighter in my handbag in case my partner loses his. I have noticed that lighters always disappear. It is something to do with taking a lighter with you so instead of leaving the lighter where you found it as you were supposed to you take it with you and forget.

Then in no time you have lighters in a pile all in the same place, like the computer table. Just a suggestion and yes I am saying that you misplaced them. I can say that because I do not smoke any more. hahahahaha lol


myLot reputation of 93/100. mibngold (1524)  4 years ago

I can seriously sit in the same spot for hours and still manage to lose them. Lately, I have been losing my cigs too..I wonder how many open packs I have laying around! Oh & BTW..I think I am gonna go to the ER today because my bronchitis is still so bad....A month of it is just ridiculous! Bet ya anything that they tell me to quit smoking! Another BTW...An ambulance was just over at my neighbors...I think maybe I should just stay out of it huh? I'm sure that she went back to the hospital!


myLot reputation of 94/100. sharra1 (3429)   ranked 236 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  4 years ago

Yep definitely stay out of your neighbours problems. As for the smoking well they will tell you to give up and they will be right to do so. You are risking getting emphysema and if you think bronchitis is bad you haven't seen anything yet. My partner has emphysema and it is much worse than bronchitis.
