I just got off their website after making up an account [I'm breathless] and spending $77 & change on stuff.

I did buy one of them trucks. For me!
Some gift cards, stamps and a tee to rack in.

Thanks for the heads up! Why not, I'm loaded. No--JK! Nobody made me.

I want the USPS to stay viable.

Everbody, pitch in!

I wanted the dutch flowers but you had to get too many of them, like 2000 maybe😹

[sprinkleeninow]

8. I saved one cancelled of the group of floral hydrangea ones but they were astronomical for hundreds

of rolls!

If I had the dough I would.

I did buy those gift cards w/pre-stamped envelopes.

[Meowmee]

12. Yep just a bit too much for me too 😹

I thought about the envelopes but decided I would never use them.

19. If you REALLY want to help the USPS, take up philately (stamp collecting) as a hobby.

Philatelists buy stamps at face value and then - wait for it - don't use the stamps. The USPS gets the money and doesn't have to provide the service.

I collect whole panes with the plate numbers. These days, $11 a shot for the normal "Forever" stamps. A pane of the $10 definitive costs a cool $100. The commemorative stamp panes often have fancy borders.
[link:|

You collect these for decades then then, when you die, your children have to figure out what to do with them. For panes a couple of decades old, the increase in value will almost justify the hassle of dealing with them. Of course, the guilt from disposing of albums collected by the old man since he was in high school will be awful.

20. i have sheets, loose cancelled, other philatelic collectibles from my dad and then I added to his

one of these days i will gather them and get them appraised

i could join a local stamp club, but don't have the wherewithal presently

appreciative of your recommendation...

21. Just bought two books of stamps.

Also hung a sign on my mailbox that says: We support the USPS and the Postal Workers. Thank you all. So far, it is still up for over a week but I expect some Fox News Viewer to eventually rip it down.

[sprinkleeninow]

23. I always bring goodies to the branch where our box is.

Next I'm gonna give each agent $10 for a lunch or whatever. Not bring any goodies bc of that stupid virus

[Maru Kitteh]

22. Wow. They have a really beautiful selection of stamps right now.

I've long had a weakness for stamps, even though I rarely use them. Perhaps laying down a few $$ would inspire me to write more, as I should.

25. 👊 💛

24. The Grotesque Orange Pustule and his shadowy backers do not like unions.

[sprinkleeninow]

26. he and his do not like anything or people conducive to a collective good;

only interested in appalling self-love and self-aggrandizement

27. KICK for SOPO!
