André on a U.S. Postage Stamp!

Believe it!  Last week I received a letter from an André fan that contained a full color photo of André on a U.S. 39¢ postage stamp, had a return address label with a full color photo of André and the address label also had a full color photo of André.

 

The stationary contained a watermark of André across the whole page.

 

I was so very curious that I did an internet search & determined there are ½ dozen or so websites that will sell the photo postage stamps to you with whatever photo you want.

 

The cost of a 39¢ stamp figures out to 90¢ a stamp+ s&h charges; you must order a minimum of 1 sheet of stamps (20 39¢ stamps) = $18.00 + whatever s&h costs to mail your order to you.   Expensive!

 

However, it sure was fun to get that envelope with André all over it.  Trust me, that envelope has been properly enshrined in a place of prominence in my humble abode.

      I'll have an answer for you on  Friday <g>

      Is this what you were trying to do? 

       

      <alt> +<ctrl> +<t>

       

      You can easily track down symbols & their keyboard shortcuts by
      using the following keyboard commands:

      <alt> + <I>   This brings up the Insert command   as soon as the drop down list appears press <s>….this brings up a page of symbols

       

      If you move the mouse over a symbol & click on a symbol, look near the bottom of the page for the keyboard shortcut.

       

      Ttfn,

      Hi Lorraine:  I sure hope Tech Support gets this posting issue fixed soon.  It is frustrating to say the least.

      I am going to check the library to see if they have that movie.  Sounds wonderful and I've enjoyed the others you recommend.  I guess there is quality entertainment after all, we just have to search (and search and search) for it.

      Ladies in Lavender (note the correct spelling for the word Lavender)   tsk, tsk, tsk

       

      Here are details of the movie & links to buy the movie on DVD:

       

       

      Incidentally, Dame Judi Dench is the same actress that plays M in the James Bond movies

        Hi Bill:  Thanks for the update.   Even other countries are offering to make stamps from personal photos.  It's really cool.
