The problem with the calendar is that if you pass the date something is due, you get no more reminders. With the service running, it would still pop up an item on the 16th that was due on the 15th that was not yet marked as paid. This is one of the frustrating things about the calendar. I have a couple bills that have 5-10 day grace periods on them, but they're DUE on a certain day, and I'd like to be reminded of that particular day, not the end of the grace period.
If the calendar was more versatile in this regard, I would do it.
