An aggravating issue with the USPS is that stupid "Forever" stamp. My niece gave me a really nice wooden stamp dispenser a couple years back. Consequently, I had to start using a roll of stamps instead of books. So the forever thing comes out with all the attendant publicity and I go to the PO to get a roll. Sorry, it doesn't come in the rolls, only in the neat little books. But I did have a choice of pretty stamps in the roll. Now I gotta get a half sheet of $.01's.

And aren't "Forever Stamps" are really dumb idea, business-wise?
And did you ever wonder how much money the USPS makes on stamps that people buy and never use?
And do any private individuals, i.e., not businesses, ever use the +4 Zip code on anything other than PO boxes?
