Happy Birthday, Jessica!
Y'all have fun with Emily and Kristin, Hecubus!
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
hivemind question - do people keep bills for credit cards, electricity, phone, etc. once paid? if so, for how long?
No.

msbelle, I am a pack. rat. when it comes to bills. I even keep all my receipts and attach them to the credit card bills. I've actually been working on sorting old bills this weekend. Gods, what a lot of paper.
I know that they say to keep tax information for seven years, and that was the thumbnail I was following. I'm just getting to the point where I could be getting rid of seven-year-old stuff, hence the sorting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I keep bills and stuff erratically.

I keep bills religiously, and once every few years I go through my files and throw out stuff.

I've been keeping a full year on bills.
I already keep all my tax stuff, but I am thinking with as much electronic billing as there is, that maybe only 1-2 months of bills would be ok.

I keep bills, filed when I get around to it. Since I pay taxes as a landlady, it's to my benefit to be able to account (and prove) that I've spent money on utilities. But even if I wasn't, I'd probably try to hang on to them, though now that I'm better about keeping track of stuff in Quicken, I have a good idea of how my historical expenses have run.

Now tagless for your comfort.
We shred our paid credit card bills every two or three months--once they're paid and we match reciepts. With all of them, we can order back statements online, if we need them.

Happy Birthday Jess!!!!

I generally keep them for a year. Now, I wish I kept them for longer, since I am very suspicious about the amount of propane the gas company says I am using for my stove. If I still had my bills from NY, I could easily compare. I know I'm paying more, which doesn't make sense at all given that it was the delivery charge that made the bill high in NY.
