Hello everyone.... We wish everybody for different ocassions. It may be birthday, anniversary or anything special. In my case the problem is that I can not remember the special dates. Then they call me after somedays and say like "you did not even bother to wish me". I love those people and I care for them too, but the only thing is that I can not remember those dates. I would like to know from you that how do you remember the special dates to wish. Do you take help of computer, calender or cellphone? Or any other easy methods? Please share your views...

You can use any application like way2sms to remember anything you want.Just schedule a future sms which can automatically send to your friends on their B'days and anniversaries. If you want to call them on such occasions you can divert the alerts on your number and after getting the alert you do wish them by call.

I usually have all important dates saved in my phone's calendar. I set the phone to remind me one day before the actual date and i dont get complaints about forgetting someone's birthday or whatever :D.

Of course you are not bothering these people although you claimed that you are caring them so much. If you are really do care these people, you will think about an easy way to remember their particular days. For instance, you should write down in your diary, your computer, your hand phone, your calender and so on. Whenever you open your diary or your computer or your hand phone and so on, you will be kept reminding about those particular days.' For me, I am in this practice to remind certain particular dates. Unless I don't bother those people, then I shall lazy to remind myself.

For some reason I remember almost every special day or is it because if I forget I will never hear the end of it. You have to ask yourself do you want people to forget your special day, no one likes to be forgotten completely.

Oh, it is so nice that you can remember all those special days. I should say that it is my fault that I can not remember, but I really care and love them.

Hi ample03! We all forget at times so what I've done is to plot all my family, close relatives, friends and even colleagues' birth dates on my mobile phone's calendar then I would set an alarm for each day so I can be reminded to greet them on their birthday. It does help a lot especially when you used to remember but then because life is so busy, you forget it all. Social network sites are helpful too because whenever a friend's birthday is due, it gets posted there or you get reminded that it's your friend's birthday.

I can remember every special days of persons surrounding me - like their birthdays etc. For my works, I keep a diary to work as my live reminder list. For digital works, I create alerts using Gmail. I hope it helps someone.

I take help of calendar, cell phone and computer for remembering birthday and anniversary also. Just keep a reminder in the cell phone and automatically an alert comes, which you can remember. Even I feel bad when my near and dear ones dont wish on special days. Thats the case with everyone.

Hi, I always remember my husband ,my son and also my own birthday.Not to forget, I also do remember my parent and my siblings birthday. Actually I do remember on wedding anniversary date,but we never have any celebration for that day. So far, both me and my husband only have simple celebration for our birthday, we will dine out with my son. How I wish my siblings and friends will remember my birthday...That will be the happiest gift to receive a birthday wishes from all my friends and my siblings.

That is the reason why the facebook is a big advantage since it announces the birthday of your friends even your relatives. Good thing on my friends even if it is not listed on any of my contacts but then I still remember their birthdays.

I never had problem remembering the birthdays of my closest friends . But if I was you I would use my cellphone to write them down in case I forgot.

If your memory does not serve you well, you can use both cellphone and computer to remember specials dates of your loved ones! Set an alarm and then the problem is simply solve!!! I hope that those who are not really close to you are those people whom the special dates you forgot!

Some occasions such as Christmas, Easter etc I remember because the dates are plastered in every shop winter and constantly mentioned on TV and online. Other occasions such as people's birthdays, I tend to remember because Facebook has a feature that alerts you when it is a friend's birthday. Or because they keep mentioning that it is their birthday coming up. Therefore, I only have to remember anniversary's and remembering one date is not too hard.

I have a small datebook that I carry in my purse, which I fill with all special days at the start of the year. Since I have a very large family it's difficult to keep track of everything on my own. Facebook also helps me to remember birthdays as long as that person has been added to my calendar...and then there's the day planner on my desk in our office that also has special days written in it, along with appointments and other things that I need to remember.

No one is good in everything. I myself sometimes forgot special occassions though most of my friends usually relies on my being sharp when it comes to remebering occassions. Making a record in something you oftenly use to start your day. Oftenly to be sure that nothing would be overlooked, I used my cellphone to list events that needs not to be forgotten, then set a reminding alarm. Perhaps thru that step, nothing will skip on our memory.

Well i personally use a calendar too remember my loved ones dates as i find it the easiest way for me too do this.There are lots of differant ways out there today i would say the easiest one would be too use a calender,a cell phone or a computer.The computer and cell phone methods are easy as you only have to remind yourself when you feel like it.There are also lots of applications out there now that tell you like myspace or facebook for example i am sure you will find one of hundreds of way that will help you personally.
