Is there a cure for this flashlight addiction thing?

[Bort]

you could always turn to alcohol, but you would just be substituting one addiction for another

[Old-Lumens]

Death usually stops the addiction. :bigsmile:

Other than that, it will last as long as your attantion span, then something else will consume you. Just tell your wife it’s a “guy thing” and changing/stopping it would turn you into a girl.

OH, welcome to the hotel california.

You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!

I never imagined someone could bring Don Henley into a flashlight discussion, thats a real accomplishment

[Slewflash]

Maybe it has some relation to the stereotype that ‘women love shiny things’.

Do all men love luminous things?

[Langcjl]

No and welcome to BLF.

[MRsDNF]

I would suggest that your wife and cat are pretty normal. There are one or two people here that can relate to everything you have said. If you find that cure please dont tell me as I would go looney without out my dailey dose of reality .

I mean, my wife thinks I’m totally nuts (“why do you need more than one flashlight, aren’t they all the same?”)

Walk to wife’s closet and take pictures of shoes, handbags, dresses, etc.

After that, what you do with the answer is up to you!

Asking that question here is like asking the bartender if there is a cure for alcoholism

@scaru

The best cure is to buy another flashlight. That will always solve it for a few hours. :P 

Whats this Kreisler gag that keeps coming up in various threads?

Last time i ‘liked’ something was years ago, but we have a winner (if this could be liked)

[darklion99]

Wow, what wonderful responses, all of you! I am humbled and you have made me feel quite warm and welcome (maybe i need to beef up my heat sink?). So the real cure, I’m gathering, is to hang out with those who share the experience. That appeases the guilt and provides shelter from the unen-Light-ened ones (blind leading the blind?). And can 4,000 BLFers really be wrong?

Thanks for letting me in the door, everyone, and let there be light!

(Now I just have to take care of my computer, iPad-iPod-Android tablet, laptop, bicycle, telescope, musician, and audio-video addictions and I’l be in good shape!)

Kreisler constantly deletes his posts and denies doing so. Hence the fact that I call him a troll. :P

I have never heard of anything so strange (i’m sure i have, but can’t think of an example at the moment)

[DarkSide]

Simple ……Get another hobby stop cold turkey.

Rifles……Of all kinds…That i will never quite…Cars also never.

Gotta have a watch. How would i find it in the dark?

[harry25175]

Wrist watches are more expensive than flashlights, however they are more valuable. CMIIW

[DarkSide]

Its a beautiful hobby…Expect a nice whack to the bank account every 3 or 4months…
