These postage hikes are getting ridiculous --what about all of us baby boomers, soon to be demented, who can't find our reading glasses. How are we suppose to remember which stamps require extra stamps to add up to 44 in the draw of old 41,42,43 and now 44 cent stamps ?

Meant to say drawer of old stamps--can't spell or add --guess senility is already here. Hope the post office returns my letters with 41 cent stamps.
