replacement bulbs

The lighting in our living room is shot again. This happens like every month and it always does it when I am the one turning the switch on that I am starting to think I am a bulb killer. Seriously. I lost count on how many times we have to buy light bulbs because of this happening. Not only here but also on other places we lived in. The husband (and my father) said it has nothing to do with me, more on how the wirings were installed and all that. How do I know? I wonder if using Hinkley lighting will make a difference? Perhaps not. I hate to have to buy light bulbs all the time though so I hope this problem will get fixed. Or if and when the husband buys a house he will make sure nothing like this is going to happen. It does not help in our plans to conserve when we have to spend so much money on replacement bulbs.
