Free 'Forever stamps'
We just had to do a special midweek Free Stuff post in honor of the new 'Forever stamp.'

This is the stamp you will be able to buy to avoid any future stamp price increases. It comes  just in time for the latest postage hike, from 39 cents to 41 cents.

Anyway, I don't know how, but we got our hands on a book of 20 of these gems.

You want 'em? Then tell us why in the heck you still need stamps, much less stamps that will last forever.

And the story better be more exciting than "I need to send in my PG&E and cable bills"

As usual, the rules are here. I figure we'll let this run through the end of this week, so get those stories up!

i need them stamps. cuz my old man just got locked up again.  and i need to write to him.  and i need to send him stamps so he can write to me and my babies. now i know my babies wanna talk to their daddy, but  those dang collect calls costs too much.  i cant afford to get my phone cut off again.  had to sell my food stamps to get it hooked up again.    you need ta give away some free gas too. i cant take my babys out to go visit on the weekends anymore 'cause gas is too 'spensive.

 

ok, the above is fictional of course, but isn't is more entertaining than "i  need to send in my PG&E and cable bills"?  i think i should get points for creativity.

Your ex father in law is very proud of you for coming up with that one. LOL     A 100 points to what's her name. I'm resting on the side because I'm pissed off at the blog, now, I'm gone again.

The only point you get is the one on top of your head.

Oh, a few weeks or so ago, I, very lady like, plowed into a dainty mailbox, and the bumper fell off my truck into a gnarled heap across the hot and stinky pavement.  I need some sort of freaky good sticky stuff to re-attach my front bumper back to the chassis. I believe that the "Forever Stamp" would be the perfect substance for the job, as I am certain that it is called "Forever Stamp" because the adhesive is highly sooper dooper and lasts forever. An added benefit to attaching  the sooper sticky "Forever Stamp"  to my ride would be the obvious allure of my truck being "patriotically pimped". What with that sexy liberty bell visage plastered up, down, sideways and askew (my personal favorite) all over the front end, the tired huddled masses will gather about my bumper, yearning to breathe free. The older gentlemen, puffing on their Mattloch- like pipes, will rehash stories of yore about the escapades of  Roosevelt and Truman; The women will knit useless red, white and blue stuff, like dash board covers, fancy toilet paper holders and thongs, whilst occasionally weeping in its glory. The children, waving those itty bitty flags,  will climb about my bumper and jump up and down on it, bounce house style, and I will not worry about it falling off because of that amazing sooper stickiness marvel named "Forever Stamp" that holds everything in its place. The word will spread and my bumper will unite! Liberals and conservatives will hug and love like Carville and Matalin only it won't be gross, Pepsi will be Clear again, Pez will not only be declared the sixth food group but also a national treasure, the war will end, Jesus will come, and everything will be so friggin' right!

I can't believe more people didn't want these stamps! Maybe snail mail is really dead. Or you all just don't have any good stamp stories. Come to think of it I don't have a stamp story either.

Maybe I didn't think this through.

Anyway we picked coochee as the winner, if only for the sheer volume of her comment. She's probably getting pennies per word!

THe price of gas is killing my check book! So to be honest of I were blessed with free stamps that would relieve me of one of many burdons.

Okay! I still use stamps and buy the forever stamps 50 or 100 at a time.  I mail ALL my bills and believe it or not, I still write letters.
I do not have direct deposit because I do not want it and do not use ATM's.  I pay my credit cards at the end of the month so never pay interest. I want to keep track of my money and always know to the cent how much I have in my savings and checking accounts. I have never had a check bounce.  I guess I am a dinosaur but I like it that way.

i need these stamps because a friend of mine has just gotten locked up. i know how it gets when you go to juvenile detention & no one writes you. he was locked up for terroristic threats because an ex bf of mine was harassing me and i guess my buddy just went off the deep end. i would greatly appreciate these stamps so that i could make his stay a lot better in that place. please help me out here. please.

This contest was over a year and a half ago, in case you didn't notice.
