I don’t think I’ve hand-written a date in years. I stamp everything.
@jack I haven't seen one of those in years. Now given you have that, I wonder, do you have the "faces" stamps that elementary school teachers used? I remember smile stamps for good work and frowns or poor work, I case you are wondering what the heck I am talking about.
@jack Nice. Is it one of the stamps that have a mechanism for lowering the stamp part onto the paper when you press down then retracting it? When I was a kid I wanted to be a librarian just so that I could /kajonk-clonk/ stamp the dates on the library cards all day long. Such a satisfying sound!
@bsag Yes. Normally it's inverted and rests against the ink pad. And when pressed, it does make that wonderful kachunk! sound :). That's the best part.
