April 1, 201511 yr I brought a mini 'tiki beach' candle with me since I'm spending few days in this hotel room. Totally forgot, one needs a flame for a candle. I used to run around with 5 in my handbag, but I had to go buy one. (Can't go without the candle, priorities.)
April 1, 201511 yr Author Oh and I haven't had cable in years but I still sit here and listen to audible rather than watch tv. Oddly no desire. I guess I don't miss channel flipping.
April 1, 201511 yr It's funny isn't it. When I quit I had a bunch of lighters ready to refill so I threw those and only had three left, now down to two. You're right that a girl needs scented candles :)
April 1, 201511 yr I bought a long nose lighter after I quit so you don't burn your fingers when lighting candles!
April 1, 201511 yr smart girls can just watch without sound and know what's going on same with just listening... I'm 100% BBC world radio fan! Love the accents! yes on candles. never too many.
April 1, 201511 yr I bought a long nose lighter after I quit so you don't burn your fingers when lighting candles! stellar suggestion!
April 1, 201511 yr I'm the opposite - when I smoked I could never find a lighter ... Now they are everywhere .... Obviously it is time for me to start buying scented candles :-)
April 1, 201511 yr oh gosh...I remember the torture of being stuck in traffic in my car with a cigarette but no light... little did I understand at the time...the torture was the fact that I smoked to begin with love candles....my current candle I'm burning is a Yankee Candle...Midnight Jasmine I'm into the Jasmine lately.... I pay for cable but since my son left...it's never on. I am either exercising, cooking, cleaning, planning the next day meals, on my computer, reading a book or watching netflix, spending time with my granddaughter or busy with some activity or another. I really should just cancel the cable. i keep thinking if I cancel that will be the time I wanted to watch something.
April 1, 201511 yr I was notorious for pocketing others lighters, didn't even know I was doing it half the time, got to a point they used to hide them lol, I had quite a collection when I rounded them all up and emptied pockets and handbags Hope you got a light a a and get some chillax time in th room :)
April 1, 201511 yr Haha same here with the lighter situation, could have opened a lighter shop from the stash I found in the bottomless pit I call my "handbag", lurve scented candles but unfortunately not allowed them as they make my OH and son sneeze like heck, lol if hubby narks me off I just light a candle, the sweet smell of revenge mwahhahhaa xxx

Brit a person who complains irritatingly: an old nark. Love it!
April 1, 201511 yr The place where I used to buy my cigs gave you a free lighter with every carton. I swear I have a ten year supply laying about.
April 1, 201511 yr never bought carton in my entire smoking life. denial. lots of trips to gas stations and all night convenience stores. don't miss it...saving money on gas. babs, didn't your car have lighter? i would be out of my vehicle following the smoke to someone else's car if mine didn't have a lighter... smoke and no light? smoker's hell. love being reminded of what i'm not missing... Stay sound, Ava! (scouse talking...)
April 2, 201511 yr I remember going on vacation in Cuba and discovering that, among the many things that economic isolation had deprived these lovely people of, there was a near complete absence of lighters. As in, you cannot buy one anywhere! Some guys actually made money by having a streetcart-style butane wagon for refills, but you had to have one to start with. So there's me, hunched over in the grass in the blazing sun with a magnifying glass and a cigarette. I was actually proud of my McGyvering when it sparked.
