I did something with my thumb a few times everyday for over a year. It is not sexual or disgusting. I am pretty positive that 99% of our readers have NOT done what I did (so it is not a cell phone). Anyone care to guess? If you get gross (I know where a thumb can go), I will have to stop the comments, focus. You can do it. Here is a hint:I stopped suddenly, one day I decided it was over.
We should have a prize if someone guesses. How about a lunch on me, your choice Burger King or Wendys. WE HAVE A WINNER...Go through the comments slowly to see if you can guess as there are hints along the way. JULIO GOT IT, LAST COMMENT.

Hitchhike?
Every day a few times? Nope. Had I been in my 20's I did hitchhike a lot (a couple of time a week). That was a good guess, Michael, and not a bad idea, I could save a lot on gas.
Flip a coin?
Obsessive Compulsive habit? Nope. Not that.
Security clearance?
Getting or allowing? Nope.
Lick it as you counted money?
Cracked it?
What Money? Has nothing to do with my thumb and mouth/tongue/etc.
No, don't crack my thumb.
Give a everyone thumbs up like Fonzi on Happy Days or you dipped it Bronze and displayed it on a public square?
It is not in my nature to give people the thumbs up. I usually use a different finger when addressing people with my hands.
And it wasn't flip a coin either.
Here is another hint. I only did it in my home (not because I was ashamed of it).
use it as identification for some type of security system?
no, but that is a pretty interesting one, it makes me think I am important enough to have security.
Strike the flint of a cigarette lighter when you smoked?
No. I don't smoke
Another HINT:
Spouse did it too but separate from me.
Write your name in the dust on the coffee table?
Judi my favorite so far as I could easily do that...but no
Pulled out a plum?
Gauged distance and scale doing artwork?
Farmwork kept it green?
Playing a musical instrument, perhaps bass guitar, more likely banjo?
The few times a day and over a year part is mentioned for a reason.
Care to give the year(s)?
gave a massage?
thumb-wrestle?
killed a gnat or one of those little black ants?
pushups?
Used a rollerball mouse?
No no and no.
I just stopped last week...
Here is another hint: "Lost". It isn't really a hint but it will take you in a better direction.
You recorded all the episodes of "Lost" and watched it without the commercials. (I did this with "Desperate Housewives".) You finished the series and no longer need your thumb to operate your DVR and FF through the commercials.
Okay you are getting closer but lets look at the hints. I said I did it several time a day - every day. I said at least 99% of of our readers weren't doing what I was doing. So it is unusual.
I also didn't record Lost.
You didn't have a remote TV control and you changed channels manually?
no...but you are hot.
Is it a remote? Do we have to guess what you were watching? Is it alright to ask you 20 questions?
Yes a remote but it is not a TV remote...because I said 99% of you are not doing what I am doing. You mostly all press TV remotes. So now the puzzle begins...
the remote controls your curtains, and you just decided to stop being a lazy ass and get up to do them manually
the remote controls your lights. i'm guessing some sort of home automation.
A computer remote maybe? Since I guessed the remote, I better leave an identifier.

Also, be aware that I'm a vegetarian, so it'll have to be Burger King for a veggie burger.
Okay...it wasn't about being a lazy ass. Actually, what I was doing was an ADDITIONAL step. It added another layer to what I usually do in my daily life.
M you mystify me. Pretty much a conservative, married to a liberal, goes to baseball games, is a vegetarian. Wow. checkered.
It is a computer remote of sorts but not to my computers. We are pretty close now.
When I talked about LOST, I was talking about the plot.
This is not an easy puzzle.
Reset the trip in the fusebox. You finally decided to buy a new fuse instead of resetting the blown fuse?
I'm confused. I don't go to baseball games. I'm not a conservative. I am married to a liberal, and we are vegetarians. I do have on big problem, though. I never watched "Lost". I guess someone will have to take over from here. Thanks for the puzzle.
M
Nope -- never blow fuses and M:
Maybe someone else is using your M name. You should hot button it. They said they went to different cities to watch baseball games when young.
M:
You don't have to watch lost but here is the plot "of the button." Every so often (forget what amount of time) the actors had to put in a computer code number or else. We were never clear of what that "or else" was.
I too had to press the remote at a specific interval, just like on the show. It wasn't a computer code, just a button. That is where the similarity ends.
Okay, so we have a button on a remote that I had to//chose to press at specific intervals until I decided I had had enough (after about a year). What was I doing?
Participated in some kind of Nielsen ratings.
Sunpass, but you don't really ever have to press a button, although I do see people working it like a garage door opener. Miami drivers!!!
AND WE HAVE A WINNER JULIO!! I WILL GO INTO MORE DETAIL TOMORROW.
You pushed a button every 108 minutes. I love LOST!!!
Okay, I'm back in. My husband and I are working on it. I'll change my name from M to Michelle. Specific intervals, specific intervals.........
Congratulations Julio!
Michelle
The scary part:
I was helping to pick out TV programs for America! Or, is that the good part?
