Hi Adam, The trouble is parameter tag:"birthday anniversary" is that a reminder which is tagged with *either* of the tags is included in the results. So when I want to show only birthdays of the family using tag:"birthday family" a reminders which is tagged family as well as marriage and not birthday shall also be included in the results. Of course this means that I should use tag:"birthday family !marriage ! getTogether !xyz", but that leaves me a limited choice of tags for future and its easy for errors to creep in.
Let me go off topic for a bit and share what I am actually trying to do. The thing is I had this urge to create a TW for myself in which I shall keep a record of ALL dates that mattered in my life, everything like episodes of ill-health, doctor visits, life events such as job, firing, meetings, birthdays, anniversaries, date on which I bought my car, day it broke down, day I sold it etc..you know the whole life progression, so that after a decade or so I have a complete events history. It might sound a bit self-obsessing but my interest is in recording the data as I am very forgetful. I forget dates, even general idea of time when something happened. If there is a date to be forgotten, I shall probably forget it. So I thought maybe ReminderMacro and Calendar is best for all this. But maybe I am wrong, maybe I should separate the history from the future. You know, use ReminderMacro for reminding things that either happen in future like meetings, tasks, or are to be celebrated recurringly like birthdays, anniversaries etc. And use other things like 'newjournal' macro for history. So I guess the real question is: How do I record my life in a Tiddlywiki?
