... in response to A reminder and a question, posted by zack on Feb 13, 2005[This message has been edited by doombug]
There's an awesome little service at Amazon.com that I recently signed up for called "Special Occasion Reminders." If you have an account there, go to "Email Notifications," and there you will find this option. If you don't have an account there, you're missing out. You can create a "Wish List," where you can add such things that you want for yourself, for her, or for her family members. They also have a section that offers books, and such, in Spanish.
I put in the three most important dates for my wife (as suggested in John Gray's, "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus"): Her birthday, our anniversary, and Valentines' Day. I have email reminders from Amazon.com set for each of these dates; from one day prior, one and/or two weeks prior, and 30 days prior to the events.
I've told my wife that there is something in the male mind that prevents us from recalling dates and numbers as well as females. She can even recall my social security number by heart, which stunned me!
Peace out!
