[Remind-Fans] Still can't get this one working.

[Tildar]

OK, I'm trying to be to clever for my own good here it seems.
I will go back and treat each day separately this time, 9 holidays
coming right up. :)
It is unfortunate that OMIT is so limited, but I bet there are good
reasons for it to be that way.

Thanks David, for the help, and the great program.
