For some reason...I just like the post office...I love getting things in the mail and I know my elderly friends and family love it too. There is just something about getting a little gift or card in the mail.
I also like NOT doing any banking stuff online...I worry more about that can happen going that route than using the in person "slow" way. But that is just me!

I like getting cards and things in the mail. I do use the internet to pay bills, it is easier.
And a lot of my bills are automatically paid by my bank, or charged directly to my credit card, which I pay online.
The FOREVER Stamp will be good for whenever you use it, it will count as whatever the current postage is. You do not have to add additional postage.
That was the incentive for people and businesses to buy up lots of it.

But I still have 39¢ stamps left over and a bunch of 2¢ stamps so now I need 1¢ stamps unless I use them all up by May 12.
And I foresee another raise of probably 1¢ in 2009, and so on.

And I also love receiving postcards. I used to be a deltiologist and even went to post card conventions before we had the children.
I used to be a philatelist before the cost of buying plate blocks and mint sheets became prohibitive.

I like commemorative stamps, they teach you a lot of things and they are like miniature lithographs.

Remember the stamps commemorating American Composers, Muppets, Elvis Presley, Teddy Bear (see below) Walt Disney series? The 50 state stamps, Tweety Bird and Sylvester?
I liked seeing those.

Sorry this is so long. I really was passionate about the cute little stamps.
