88- THE UPSIDEDOWN STAMP?....

When we really LISTEN to our older generation, especially grandparents, a wealth of neat stuff is learned about our early society. Once again, I learned from way back, when my grandmother Willie was a young lady, about the 'secret' of sending a letter in the 'post' by positioning a stamp upsidedown. Was a 'secret' message to the sendee that the sender loved them, the romantic kind! Now you know how to send a romantic 'secret' to someone 'spacial'....go for it!
Let's see...2008...computers...can anyone figure out how to stick a stamp on the monitor screen, upsidedown, and send it along?
I have the solution! Write a letter the old-fashioned way. And apply that stamp upsidedown. You don't even have to lick anymore, right!

that is so cool! A friend and I have done this for years with our 'posts' we sometimes put a little arrow below the stamp to remind each other....I don't remember where I first learned this..
