I love the google example - and it's free! And netflix- why didn't I think of that! that definitely goes on my list, too.

i have to say google's calendar alerts are a life saver. if it's not in my google calendar, it doesn't exist.

post offices that are stocked appropriately and have functioning APCs are my favorite. netflix is a godsend because i make my queue once, and put 100 movies on it. i find when i don't manage it, it's more of a mystery of what came in the mail and i enjoy it more.

my car got attacked by birds who decided to carpet bomb it. finding a product that was easy to use (and didn't involve washing the WHOLE car) took a lot of time. by the time i found something, it was too late to really save the finish. automotive care is an area that needs to be revamped. it's like they assume car owners have driveways and have access to hoses....so products that required me to rinse with a hose were not useful.

we used to get my mom the mother's calendar. it was a calendar that had 5 columns so mom could keep track of where everyone was on what day.
