The old sticks and stones saying is no longer true â both real-world and online name-calling can have serious emotional consequences for our kids and teens. It's not always easy to know how and when to step in as a parent. For starters, most kids use technology differently than we do. They're playing games online and sending texts on their phones at an early age, and most teens have devices that keep them constantly connected to the Internet.
The first woman pictured on a United States postage stamp was Queen Isabella in 1893. However, the 5-cent stamp wasn't issued specifically in her honor. The postal service released the stamp, which also pictures Christopher Columbus, to commemorate Columbus Day.
Each letter of the word âCelebrateâ and the exclamation point that is part of this stampâs official title, are highlighted in bright white light. The 2011 Neon Celebrate! stamp is Artist Michael FlechtÂ­nerâs, Van Nuys, California, first project for the U.S. Postal Service. Customers have 60 days to obtain the first day of issue postmark by mail. They may purchase new stamps at their local Post Officeâ¢ facility, at The Postal Store website at www.usps.com/shop, or by calling 800-STAMP-24.
