Birthdays – we all have ‘em. We all have to remember other people’s — and what a hassle that is for me. I found a perfect solution — FREE! There’s an online site I’ve used for a year that sends you automatic reminders of birthdays you want to remember.
Drop in to Birthday Reminders and take a few minutes to set it up. The coolest thing for me was that I entered email addresses for the folks I want to remember, and the site sent them a request to update their birthdate for me. That’s my idea of a good time. All the work is done.
Birthday Reminders sends me email reminders three times before each birthday, anniversary, or whatever and I can send a card, make a call, or buy a gift. I’m remembrance-challenged and I’m hoping this will change my life-long handicap in that vein. It isn’t that I’m ambivalent about people’s special days – I just flat out can’t keep track. Scatter-brained.
This site, by the way, also allows you to send egreetings, ecards and singing birthday ecards. It’s fun and practical – and again, it’s FREE. The site managers claim their turf is ad-free and spam-free. They swear they do not share your info with anyone. In a year, I haven’t has any spam or cause for alarm.
