Nothing :bigcry:  I watched the mailman walk past my house through the window
Our postie goes past on a motorbike. It has a very distinct sound.

Three hundred Japanese stamps. Old and new.

On eBay I bought some cat stamps and a large selection of USA stamps but they're not due to arrive until next month.

Philately used to be one of my rages. I learned a lot about other countries by collected their stamps. Didn't realize how much I was learning at first.

I came to understand that I was one of few who knew where Baden or Bhopal or Funafuti were. Worthy pursuit, I think.

Oh, I forgot to mention that you might caution yourself when using dirivitives of the word which describes your interest in stamps. To uneducated people they think that word is the same as another which describes a sexual act.

You might get some response like, "Duh, I'm smart too. That just means that you like giving blowjobs, right?"

While that chacterization might hold, the intent of actual conversation is subtle mostly and speaking can be dangerous at times. Ignorant bastards, some are.

I never knew there were so many French Colonies. Got a small pile of Benin stamps and I've never heard of the place.

So what happened to your collection of stamps?

And yeah, I haven't used the word but other people have. Maybe to show they're smart? ;)

Nothing because it's Sunday. Kayleigh's expecting a few things this week. I'm not expecting anything except the electric bill. :(

Well I got some USA stamps early and my credit card statement that I filed away. Also the gas bill which is lower than the last one. :)

Cat stamps! :)

Also something from my superannuation fund. I haven't opened it yet. It's probably just a statement. I'm peeved with them because they still haven't changed my name from my maiden name even though I filled out a form and sent them a copy of my marriage certificate.
