Stamps!

Tonight, I will write about US Postage Stamps. This is actually quite interesting as I am a letter carrier for the United States Postal Service. So the first thing that comes to mind is THANK YOU! First, thanking WriteaPrisoner.com for this wonderful FREE site. This site indirectly creates revenue for my employer who in turn pays me for my services. Next I will thank everyone who buys postage whether in the United States or other countries. I love my job and am paid very well. The benefits are outstanding. With the way the internet is changing the world I don't know where I will be in say 5 or 10 years. It has been such a wild ride though. Here are some interesting postal facts. US postage stamps are always good. I write to two pen-pals in South Carolina. I think the one lady I write to has over 8 pen-pals around the world. I used to print different designs for the envelopes I send these ladies. Well the South Carolina Department of Corrections put a stop to this. I always wanted them to be able to tell that the letter was from me without even looking at the name. So I had to come up with something. Well, while looking at stamps I saw something that caught my eye! Unused postage. I started buying unused postage on Ebay. Henry Gitner Philatelists also sells discount postage. There is a whole page explaining how this works. I have a whole bunch of older Christmas stamps I can send this year. Well maybe next time I will write about the software I use to write and make greeting cards. Once again THANK YOU FOR WRITING!

| | I have to admit that my postage purchases are nearly as much as they use to be. I pay all my bills online now so that saves me 10 stamps a month alone. I am still sending out a letter every day to my PP/Husband though. I heard on the news the PO is thinking about only running 5 days a week now because sales are down. I think they will continue to go down as more and more people are paying their bills online and sending emails. It's just cheaper and faster so who could blame them. It is nice to receive mail. |
