I have to confess, although I have stamps, I rarely use them. I used some to send Christmas cards during the holidays. I, like most people, pay bills online. There are just a few things that come in that require a stamp to mail something off. I send birthday cards and the like, but I would be surprised if I use more than one stamp a month. I can't actually remember the last thing I mailed. Do you use stamps?

I can't think of any bills I pay with stamps. There is something every so often that comes in, that needs a stamp..but not often.

Yes if I can get hold of any that is.
We have a wonderful Post Office that only opens two hours in the morning and its seven miles away.
Not kidding either.
I would have to go to a bigger town to get stamps and to buy them for the whole year.

Now that is something as well and they only open here from 8.30 am until 10. 30 am
You won´t find them open any other time.
To get the woman to deliver me a recorded delivery letter like it was her job to do so was another different story and she invented everything in the book not to come and bring me that much needed letter.

Yes, I kind of think the older you are the more you are married to stamps. Although, to be honest..I do know many of the older generation who pay bills online.

Yes, they aren't really necessary in today's electronic age.

I always have a book of stamps handy but rarely have anything that requires a stamp except for the occasional birthday card.

Yes, I know the electric company is mailing me a physical form..and I will need to mail that back with a stamp..but that is the only thing coming up other than my nephew's birthday. I might mail him a card.

Yes I use stamps all the time, I have a pen pal, a mentally challenged man in prison. I write to him often. I took care of his mother before, after she had a fall.

Kind of a relic of a different time. Even fax machines are not used much anymore for that matter.
