Comment RSS44 cents…and rising
September 5, 2009 :: 12:14 pm :: Personal :: 4 commentsThere’s something about stamps that I find so hard to resist. Every time I see a new stamp design, I’m like “Ooooh, must have.” Like this King and Queen of Hearts 44-cent stamp. Neat!
Used to be, I’d indulge myself and buy a sheet or two to use for the occasional piece of snail mail I end up sending out each year. But recently, USPS postage rates have been so on the rise that stamp values become obsolete way too quickly and I end up having to pair them with a gajillion of these make-up stamps:
Or these, which are slightly cooler but still annoying to use:
Like, 42 cent stamps came and went in such a flash (didn’t they?!) that I barely even had time to notice these awesome Year of the Ox stamps, much less get myself a sheet!
These days, I hardly use stamps anymore anyways. Even stuff that I used to snail mail — primarily legal documents, checks, that sort of thing — I now just scan and send via email, or pay with PayPal. Who needs stamps?! Not me. But I want them anyways! Who can resist USPS’s awesome online Postal Store, where you can find all sorts of cool stamps — AND OTHER STUFF! — for fun, for collecting, and of course for mailing. Doesn’t this super-cool Pewter Stamp Dispenser just make you want to run online and pick one and a coil of stamps up for yourself OR WHAT?!

I’m obsessed with stamps too! Luckily I have a friend I send postcards to all the time, so I can use them up!
I love these stamps, I always get excited when a bride wants to use them!! :)
Fed up with getting low amounts of useless traffic to your site? Well i want to share with you a new underground tactic that makes myself $900 each day on 100% AUTOPILOT. I really could be here all day and going into detail but why dont you merely check their site out? There is really a great video that explains everything. So if your seriously interested in making quick hard cash this is the website for you. Auto Traffic Avalanche
