Hey afield, use a free service like http://www.textreminders.net
You can send a one time reminder right from the homepage, or register on the site to send recurring reminders.

This is currently a feature of this program you may have missed in the manual if I am not mistaken

"When you make me part of an email conversation, I will automatically email the other recipients (anyone else in the To: or Cc: fields), with appointments, reminders, to-dos, contacts, or bookmarks you had me create" - from section near the end called "Sharing"

You just CC: the other person you want included. and in the message or subject start the command with "Sandy" For example:

"Sandy, Remind my forgetful fred to take pick up the concert tickets this Friday"

I might make a video version of the manual because the manual has a lot of "Wows" when you actually get what is possible. Hope this helps afield. and Chris. Cupcakes and Coffee/Tea perfect combination. I think I am getting fat.

Feature suggestion--- drag and drop items from the online daily digest to the calendar on the same page

I was reviewing my digest online, thinking, "Wow, I've really accumulated a big stack of chores. I'll never get all these done today!" I then wished I could quickly re-schedule some of the items. Wouldn't it be cool if we could simply drag those items to that little calendar that's just on the right side of the screen? Much faster than opening each entry and re-scheduling it manually!

Any chance of Sandy offering this feature?

I don't think you're doing anything wrong. I sometimes get the same behavior. Whatever the cause, it's certainly inconsistent.

My best guess at the moment is that this is due to the length of the pause before or after the "tag with". I'm guessing that if there is a long pause after "tag with", then Jott starts a new sentence instead of converting the "tag with sms" to be @sms.

Problem tagging reminders while using Jott

Am I the only one having this problem? I know that, when using Jott, we're SUPPOSED to be able to tag items by saying "tag with _______" However, when I do this, I get a Sandy entry like this:

Remember to call Dave about the answering service. Tag with call.

when what I really want is:

Remember to call Dave about the answering service. @call.

Am I doing something wrong here?

I appreciate your help, but see my most recent attemt below to follow your instructions. Well, now I am beginning to think I am just stupid. I clicked on the first link you gave me in the email. That took me to the reset password screen, you said "with that done" so I took that to mean that I was to reset my password yet again, so I did.

So then you say visit the second link in the email, I did, but that link just takes me to the login screen and when I tried to login it will not accept the password. I am back at the same place (pulling my hair out)

What did I do wrong? I really am trying!!!!

Hi Phil,

(Thanks, Norbiq, for helping Phil out!)

To remind someone else about something, you simply email Sandy as usual and Cc: your friend on the email. Even if they don't sign up for an account, they'll be reminded right along with you when the time comes due.
