Stamps have gone up in price again!!!!!!! The good thing is that you can buy a "Forever" stamp, which can be purchased for 41cents and is good for a first class letter forever (assuming it doesn't go over the weight limit), no matter what the price of stamps is raised to in the future. I guess we'll think about biting the bullet and purchasing a roll of the "Forevers" to keep when prices go up again. Grrrrrr!

Stamps are why I pay my bills online. Bloody annoying little pieces of bad tasting sticky paper.

LOL! Yah. We pay pretty much everythign online, too. Still, I like to send letters and such now and then, which require stamps. LOL. Maybe I could reverse the TO and RETURN addresses w/ a slightly messed up TO address. Then, when the letter is returned, it's returned to the person to whom I really wanted to send the letter! Just kidding. I thought about that when I was little, but I've always been too chicken to try it! I'm sure it's somehow illegal.

Cleaver though!
I do need to go get some stamps. They are good to have, just in case.

I also pay bills on line. I have noticed being here in Japan and sending even letters/cards ect stateside and them sending to us, things get lost so much. I remember 2 years ago a friend of mine was trying to send a gift box to my daughter. It never got here (she tried for 6 months) and it got returned to her, once with half the contents GONE! We did get the box when we went home for a visit. "twas ridiculous I say! As for stamps.. I read that in the paper just yesterday and just shook my head. It's crazy! I make sure that I rarely use them.

bad tasting Tess?
havent u guys upgraded to sticky stamps yet, that you just pull off and plonk on the letter, no licking required?
Had those here for ages.
I post very few letters, and i remember a while ago they went up (actually this was years ago) and it was so long by the time i found out that the increased price was well in use and u couldnt use the old ones anymore. My husband just shook his head at me and told me i need to get out of my cave a bit more often, lol.
Pay all my bills online too. Used to have to send stuff to work on a weekly basis, as i did community assessments and was easier then going into the office, and they needed originals, but now never post anything it seems.
