As a retied Postal Worker I’m reminded of the story of the Simpsons series stamps that were printed with 39 cents postage. The Post Office overestimated the demand for the stamps and printed more than they could sell and soon after converted to Forever stamps. As a result the P.O. had thousands of stamps they couldn’t get rid of with a price most customers would not find useful. And since that is one of the more frequent questions customers ask, no postage stamps do not expire, I would often see stamps that were printed 30 or 40 years before being used as mail and Forever stamps are at least for now are good for the price of a one ounce letter.
30 years ago I built a room addition 18′×18′ with a basement. It took so long to finish, that my wife is scarred for life. Anytime I start a new project, she feels it will never get done.
