Creative
uses for Birthdays and Such...
Birthdays
and Such ends with an ellipsis character because there are
so many dates beyond birthdays to remember...
I
have added reminders for such purposes as filing for
reimbursement of certain recurring expenses, changing my
401K contributions, paying for my Grand Canyon reservations,

and France and across the United States have reported
remembering not only their wives and husbands and
grandchildren but also their appointments and bills and user
group meetings...
