Well, I must be older than both of you.  I can remember when stamps were 1
cent.  I can remember my parents complaining about them going up to 3 cents.
And you know what, they are still complaining each time they go up.  Come to
think of it I complain about it each time too. ;-))

I guess my parents taught me well huh?
