Getting the contents of a list sent to my mobile phone

I want to get Sandy to send my shopping list to my phone. I use twitter to communicate with sandy on the mobile, since she won't direct SMS overseas (I'm in NZ). When I text her with "l grocery list" she sends back, "I found this: grocery list," but she does not send the contents of the list! How do I get her to send the list contents?

Sorting & dates

On my daily digest, I also have the tagged items (as opposed to today's items-e.g. @contact, @errand, etc.) sorted in some random order. Is there a way to fix that? I'd rather have the items within the categories sorted by date.

Also, the items in those categories that are tagged "@annually" do not show a date unless I click on the item to view it. However, I'm not sure if this is because the items without dates are not in this month. (Right now all my "@annually" items in my "@errands" category happen in the month of June. These are the only ones without dates.)

Sandy doesn't understand me very well anymore (via Twitter)

Until yesterday (5/7/08), Sandy understood pretty much everything I sent her using Twitter. Now, she seems extra picky and I can't get her to understand some of my requests. Here are a couple examples (I put curly braces around my messages to set them apart - they weren't used at the time):

1. I sent {d s r help Dad L with his brochure @todo @all} and Sandy replied with her standard "don't understand" response (Hi! To remember/remind: "d s r take a break in 15 min"; To update: "d s u 1 @done"; For more: iwantsandy.com/examples). I tried {d s r "help Dad L with his brochure" @todo @all} and she responded the same.

2. I sent {d s r write letter to ruby about her sunshine and exuberance @todo @all @computer} and Sandy would simply NOT GET IT, even if I surrounded the main part in quotes like I did above. I played around with this for several tries, and oddly Sandy would understand {d s r write letter to ruby about her pens and pencils @todo @all @computer}! That is exactly the same except for the two content words. It makes no sense.

In both cases, I had no idea what the problem was and gave up trying to ask Sandy to remind me about it. It's very frustrating.

Can I change the widget digest to the next 7 days?

Can I change the widget to show me the next 7 days instead of just today? Even though I put things in by their due date, sometimes I like to see them a couple days in advance so I might get things done before they're due. (Hey, I can dream, right? "I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." -Douglas Adams)
