I'd go for the candy and ice cream. You can't eat a stamp and enjoy it.

Besides, why buy stamps? You think the war is going to last forever?

Stamp out obesity ?

I'm too old to care anymore. It's one advantage of marrying only once and sticking it out no matter what. Although when younger I was able to stick it in much more often and for longer 😝

What's a "teener"? It is like a teenager? Or a tween?? Very strange. I have not seen this word before...
