dang it just bought a book of stamps this is ridiculous
That’s why I always buy the Forever Stamps.
I am pretty sure all stamps are forever stamps now
Lol. That’s not a bad thing. Guess there’s no need for those darn penny stamps I have sitting in the desk drawer.
I keep making sure my bosses buy the forever stamps for this reason. It will affect us when we mail out large amounts of information to our Clients or opposing counsel though (I work for a law firm) ~Princess Karen
Hey Me too ( work for a law firm) lol
