Do you lick envelopes and the stamps?

Fortunately both ebvelopes and stamps ar self-stick here. They peel off and stick and don't need licking. Merry Christmas!

whats an envelope? its been sooo long since ive used one. as for stamps, i kid you not , use less than a dozen a year. stamps here are like stickers, self adhesive backs to them, no licking involved.

Some of my envelopes are the peel off variety. I like them best.

I don't lik eit but I often forget and do it, yeah it's horrible.

I use to years ago, but not anymore.

I don't go licking "things". It's been awhile I last sent an envelope. We use glue or there are those sticker types available.

I will never lick envelopes and stampes. It is not clean at all. I think it is also convenient for me to use the glue to stick it.

My stamps do not need lic king as i peel them off the cellophane and put on my envelopes. I also have self sticking envelopes that you just peel the paper off and press the edges shut.So no licking is needed. I never have licked them as i just wet my thumb and did it that way.

Our stamps are stickers, so there is no need to lick them. As for envelopes, I have gotten rid of the licking habits. I will use glue instead. if the envelopes are self-stick, that will be good.

ewww. It's funny as well as weird. I did it once, a long time ago. Yes it does taste bad. about cockroaches egg, after reading your post, no one will ever dare to lick envelope or stamp.

I do lick them, silly me, but after reading this, I will stop it.

I lick my finger and move the finger across the glue of the envelope or stamp.

Here in the United States, we don't use stamps that need licking anymore. You just peel and stick them. Although most envelopes are the kind you have to lick to seal, they do make ones that are self-sticking. I prefer to use those when I send things by mail. It's funny, because with the advent of technology (such as email, online bill-pay and other electronic methods, I can't even remember that last time I had to send something by postal mail!

I learned a trick years ago from our local Post Office. They kept a sponge in a small bowl with water. Then you can just dab the stamp or envelop on the sponge and seal it. So I adopted this technique. They no longer do it in the Post Office since nearly every stamp is now self-aheasive.

i just lick envelops a couple of days ago and put some money on it for members of my family.

we use it before many years but not now because everything online and not do much for this kind of thing. its very annoying that cockroach eggs in it and may be we become ill. but while i used it that kind of thing not happened and we use glue.
