When using a matchbook, instead of striking it the usual way, I fold the cover back and put the match in between the cover and the strike surface then squeeze as I pull the match out. The friction makes it light everytime, and I feel like I have more control over it than just striking it the normal way.
I tried to take a picture, but since I am the only one awake, I had to do it with one hand and couldn't show the "striking action." Hopefully, you can figure it out, though!!

These are the adventures and crises of a world traveler who hardly ever gets to leave the Nashville area. I'm a mother, wife, waitress, teacher, former dental assistant, and a superhero. And my son thinks I'm funny, so I've got that going for me.

That is the only way I CAN strike a match. Great tip for us uncoordinated, too!
Hi Mari
My WFM is to turn on comment moderation in blogger, it will stop junk like the above.
Good idea! I had thought it was already turned on. By the way, you aren't allowed to give hints unless it is Wednesday. I'll let it slide this time... :)
I've got one for next Wednesday, just have to remember - timing is not my forte...
