I just noticed that the stamps I have don't say the price anywhere on them or on the stamp folder. They just say "First-Class Stamps." Did I buy the forever stamps without realizing it? It's a picture with the flag in the background and the Statue of Liberty in the front.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

No, I think you bought the temporary stamps that they use when they first raise the rate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The forever stamps I have have the Liberty Bell on them, so I don't know.
Edit: Oh, and they actually say "forever" on the stamp.

Hmm. I bought these several weeks ago, though. The little tiny print at the bottom says "2006."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think they are forever, though. I always mean to put them aside for the next rate change, but never remember.

Though the ones I have didn't have years on them--maybe that changes things.
Doing massive laundry, and tidying. I snapped and bought a Roomba online at deep discount, and now I'm wondering how I'm going to keep the floor clear enough for Puppy to do its job. Still, should help me hugely with the whole allergy thing. There's little practical opportunity for me to vacuum two or three times a week.
And doing my weekly TV catchup. Finish NUMB3RS, watch CSI and the new Doctor Who...oh, and ER and then I'm done. How glamourous am I?
Did physical therapy yesterday and thought too long about beating her up. If I've told you I'm taking a percoset a night, the question "Does the pain stop you from being able to sleep?" is a weird one. Plus she kept telling me to move as far as I could. Until the end of the range of motion, I asked her, or until it hurts?
As much as you can tolerate, she said. So not a meaningful boundary for me.

I thought that the rate change stamps has a letter-series on them - so that the post office knows that the rate-change stamp to 39 cents isn't the same as the rate-change stamp to 41 cents.

Oh, yes, the supplemental pain tolerance table. When they ask Hubby how much it hurts on a 1-10 scale, I always remind him, "Factored for you, honey, not normal people."

Hm. On the post office website, they show stamps that look like the ones I have as 39 cent stamps, [link] , except that they list them as only coming as a coil, and I have them as a book of stamps. Also, the picture on the website has the "39 cent" thing in the corner, and mine don't.
