Hi April, I am interested in your SASBE offer. Thanks for your generosity. -StLGirl

So just to follow up, (so many posters never post the final answer) I figured out how to get the windows out! And now I feel like an idiot... Turns out that all you need to do is push all three panels up to the top. At that point, the bottom half of the track comes right out. A good scrubbing with Bar Keeper's Friend took off most of the oxidation on the frame and the hard water scale on the window panes. Tonight I'm going to rub the whole thing down with Mother's mag polish and add a few drops of penetrating oil to the tracks to allow for a smoother slide. I figure if I can knock out 1 or more window a night for the grand price of free, that'll keep my busy for the next week or so.

It's very dependent on your life and family situation......some things you should keep forever, some things barely a year. I keep all of my financial paperwork (taxes and investment information) for the legally required time - 6 years - but most everything else is kept for at most a year. There are exceptions (real estate transactions, for example), and when I paid for utilities I would keep several years of data so that I could do comparisons to maximize my efficiency and minimize my bills. " I guess my overriding advice is to rely wherever possible on electronic rather than paper systems" You should be very cautious doing this, because electronic records can disappear in the blink of an eye whether you need them or not. At least keep screenshots or PDFs of documents on a flash drive that can be removed from your computer and stored separately. Then you get to decide when they disappear, not someone else.
