Ouch! My electric/gas bill seems to run from $40 to $60 a month. PG&E does offer this plan where they calculate your average bill for a year and you just pay the same amount every month, but I'm not sure how it accounts for your actual usage if you're over or under at the end of the year.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think tommyrot will enjoy this robotic chess set.
Cool!

My first electric bill for the new townhouse wasn't toooo crazy. Trash collection is expensive though--something like $30 a month? But it only comes every three so it's a chunk. Haven't got a water bill yet, but the gas bill was what shocked the hell out of me. $50 for half a month, and I hadn't even used the stove or the fireplace!!!

If you're the company in N.O. my cousin uses, when you finally get someone out to check the meter, you send a ginormous bill.

If Sue is around (or other Canadians), do Canadians use government/administration the way we do here in the U.S., or does "government" refer to the present administration, as in Europe?
I have now considered the usage of "government" so much, I'm not sure how we use it.
People def. refer to the current administration as the Government.
People will also use goverment to describe the bureacracy that supports the Government.
The governing and opposition parties as a whole are the Parliament federally, legislature or legislative assembly, provincially.
The elected ministers in charge of portfolios are Cabinet or Privy Council (fed.) or Executive Council or Government in Council.

Depends on whose house.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
My electric bill (taking into account that my A/C and heat are both electric) runs from $30/mo in the spring and fall to $120 in the winter (if it's really cold out) or summer (if it's really hot all month).
