Need Help Remembering Birthdays?

Like most I am a very busy person, so needless to say I need help in trying to remember things, especially birthdays. Add to that my husband is one of 11 kids, I have 4 siblings and most are married and have more than one kid of their own. I have never counted but we have a lot of birthdays, anniversaries, and events that need to be remembered. I used to have a list that I would keep on my fridge of all the special occasions for friends and family. I would usually remember to look at the list after I got a call from my mom saying "Did you call your brother yesterday, it was his birthday?" Or the one my husband did to me all the time was "Yesterday was so-n-so's birthday", well a lot of good it did me the day after.

About a year ago I started using email reminders. I use them for everything and anything that I have to remember. No more list of paper and no more the day afters and since practically everything I do is on the computer it makes perfect sense. At first my family thought my memory was getting better with age until I told them about the reminders. Now all of our memories seem to be getting better with age.
