  • Commemorative Eclipse Stamp

    Remember I said the new stamps didn't work? Forget that!
    In the sunshine, it does brighten up. To eclipse it, put it in the fridge.

    On the last day of August I sent my DD a check to help cover extra expenses. I used a commemorative stamp on the envelope. It normally takes just a day or two for mail to get to her. Well, she just received it today! Apparently nobody tampered with the envelope or tried to open it, however the edges of the envelope around the stupid stamp was well worn. We expect that someone put the envelope in the fridge to change it back, and forgot about it for a while, too.

    I'm not sure any of that was very legal of the USPS, holding up the mail for 2-1/2 weeks.

    However, our GD had something like a nervous breakdown, exacerbated by paranoia/drugs, and that check was needed! We ended up wiring our DD the money a couple days ago and paying the fee for cancelling the check because we thought it was possibly stolen. (GD is now hospitalized and under observation for a week.)

    Aha, I couldn't figure out what you was talking about with the stamp. I finally google the stamp and now I know . I'm so clueless sometimes! Sorry about your GD, I'm sure that is difficult for you and rest of family.

      Hi Nogs,
      E found the stamps online, and I wasn't sure what he was talking about....then I had to have some.
      All I can say is, if you use them, expect the mail to arrive at its destination late!
      DD finally got that mail (after we cancelled the check and wired the money to her). She said just the corner of the envelope, around the stamp, showed a lot of wear (from touching).....but nobody tampered with the envelope beyond that.
