IF you MUST use the post office, it’s not hard to save money. Royal mail postage costs and Royal Mail parcel rates seem to me to have steadily climbed over the years. And since the Royal Mail started charging on size of envelope as well as weight, there are some rather silly anomalies. For instance - sending [...]

Everyone Postage is going up on May 12th for the second consecutive year from 41 cents to 42 cents. The price of the FOREVER stamp will go up at the same time. If you purchase the FOREVER stamp for 41 cents it will still be usable for first class postage after the rate increase takes place. So in order to avoid the rate increase I recommend going out and purchasing a few rolls of the FOREVER stamp. Other rates are going up also, so depending on the size of your wedding invitations, you should check with the postal service so you’re not surprised when it comes time to mail them out.

Q. Which country issued the world’s first ever postage stamp? And what was it called?A. On May 1, 1840 Briton had issued the first adhesive postage stamp. The ticket was called Penny Black and had on it a picture of the Queen Victoria. All in all the British postal department had issued 6,81,58,080 Penny Blacks, but after that its printing had to be discontinued.It so happened that the ticket having a value of a penny was black in color, just as its name suggests. And the ink of the stamp that the postal department put on tickets to cancel the used tickets was black too. Thus it was nearly impossible to differentiate between used and unused tickets, and many people started reusing them. As a result, only in the second year of the issue of Penny Black the postal department had to turn to

Every morning when I shower I look out the clear glass to the window beyond and to the field behind our cul-de-sac. If I look between the houses and focus on the farm house about a mile away I can almost pretend that we don't live in the middle of cookie cutter houses and postage stamp sized lots. Sadly, I noted the notice from the city that the field has seen its last days of corn and soybeans

I have been reading a paper by Tanjim Hossain and John Morgan entitled Shorouded Attributes and Information suppression: Evidence from field experiments which makes some interesting points about how to treat postage charges on eBay.  Their study looked at how differences in display of postage costs can effect the final price of the auction.  They varied the opening bid, shipping cost and timing of the disclosure of shipping charge while selling matched sets of products. The study came to the following conclusions: When the shipping charge was disclosed in the title of the listing there was no revenue effect  of changes in the shipping charge (i.e. shipping + final price = Total price for variations in shipping charge) When the shipping charge was  disclosed in the body of the listing but not the title, a seller earns a higher revenue with a higher shipping charge. They also found the the final prices achieved were the shipping price was displayed in the title of t

Sounds so easy, slap a patch on and the next thing you know you're a svelte, skinny little thing. They have patches for everything, smoking cessation, birth control, menopause, pain, why wouldn't a diet patch not work? Easy folks: we barely have a prescription diet pill that works, and if it did, I am certain big pharma would slap that bitch on patches and hand them out. Other than appetite

Get out those postal scales, everyone! Beginning Monday, if that package you’re mailing weighs more than 13 ounces, don’t even think about grabbing that book of stamps! I don’t care how many you can lick and stick, the new rule requires that 13 ounces is the new, lower limit, requiring “alternative postage.” Which is like a stamp, only different. Different because, well, I don’t know. They both are really just stickers, applied to the same package in the same manner. But if all you have laying around are your everyday stamps, you’ll need to dash to the post office and hand your package directly to the Federal employee, the postal clerk behind the counter because, well, he or she is apparently authorized to affix the safer alternative postage. Not that it really matters what you’re mailing, I’m sure they don’t care, but apparently the process keeps us all safer, so who am I to question? The change is part of ongoing security me

Weigh your mail, folks. Well, anything you intend to mail after next Monday, anyway. The USPS has lowered the ante, for security purposes, of course, from 16 ounces to 13 ounces (because 3 ounces matter), for anything you’re mailing, that will after Monday require “alternative postage.” Which is apparently anything but your normal everyday stamp. I don’t care how many stamps you can lick and stick, don’t waste your time. Alternative postage is mandatory for anything over 13 ounces, keeping us all safe from postal terrorism! Or something. Who really knows? Postal officials said the change is part of the effort to improve security in the mail. If you actually visit your local brick and mortar post office, remember to take said 13+ ounce package to the counter and hand it over to a real live USPS federal employee! The mail slot? Forget about it. Unless you’ve already applied your own home-computer-generated postage label. Then you’re apparently g

I remember as a kid it cost less than a quarter to buy a stamp. I also remember that when the postage rates went up it was a major undertaking and a national event to increase the denomination of a stamp. The US Postal Service now does not even bother to put the denomination on the stamp, which makes it even easier to change the rates and many times people don’t even realize that the stamp price has gone up. As your ever friendly distributor of news I am here to let you know that starting Monday, May 14th, our national postage stamp will now be 41 cents. Ahh, how things change!

Dear God, First and foremost, I want to thank You.  I know I’ve lodged complaints with You almost daily now, upset about my stomach pooching out or my nausea or the consistency of my pooping.  I know I’ve used Your name several times when getting upset with clothes that don’t fit anymore, shoes that suddenly make my feet swell, and allergies that I never had before.  And I’m sure that all of this makes me sound pretty ungrateful. Today, I wandered over to a message board at BabyCenter.com.  I had no real question to answer, no real conundrum to solve, but I thought, “You know, it might be nice to know what’s happening to other women at this same point in their pregnancy.” I shouldn’t have gone.  Well, I mean, I’m glad I did.  But man.  Man oh man oh man.  Wow. I read about women who have been spotting nonstop since conception and have limited their lives to walking to the bathroom. (And they’re only at 10 wee

This is a subject that's two years old in discussion, but still warrants considerable attention. A very controversial subject it is, but if nothing is said, nothing will be done about it.Two years ago, Mark in Mexico, among several other bloggers, directed attention to a comic book character published in Mexico for many years called "Memín Pinguín" (the latter pronounced as pin-geen in Spanish), a caricature of a Mexican of black African descent and his mother. If you have the stomach for the following, here is a two-panel part from one of the books:If you've got the stomach for more, go and see the rest of the pictures over at Mark's, and also at Blog Alice and El foro de Kaliman, but be warned, that this is by far one of the sickest "products/publications" I have ever seen. The way the character is drawn makes him look like, well, a simian. It's not often that I see racist caricatures this bad. This really makes my blood boil, and as of this writing, I am ready to explode.Given
