Licking Envelopes

[jaimi alderson]

What does everyone do about paying bills? Does anyone just lick the envelopes & hope for the best? Or does anyone know if gluten is a major ingredient in envelope glue? I usual pay 5-7 bills at a time so this is not some exorbitant number. I can not really contact the companies to ask them as they would not know. I know I can get a washcloth but was hoping to just be able to lick them.

thank you!

Gluten can be in the glue. There are non-lick envelopes. Most of the banks around here have them. I was so happy when they switched.

I tape them.

I tape them.

Tapping works too! Or you could use wax

I actually now pay all my bills through online banking. So I no longer have envelopes to lick. I just sent out a whole bunch of invitations to my sons first birthday and I used envelope sealer. You can buy that in any Staples or stationary store.

I must be tired after stuffing 120 easter eggs... I laughed out loud at the "wax".... I'm still laughing.

You can use a damp sponge on the glue.

I use a gluestick, as a matter of fact, the office I work in now uses the gluestick--even the doctor. Guess I started a fad there. Deb

I just get them all ready to go and my husband seals them! If he's not around, I use a wet paper towel--use it, and throw it away

I do all on-line banking as well (love it!). But if I do have to send something I'll use a glue stick, if I'm in a pinch and there isn't one I will lick my finger and rub that along the envelope.
