You probably don't want -a, but do want -q:

rem -g -q

If you use -q and -a, then you only get timed reminders whose
time is in the future.  If you leave out -a, you get all timed
reminders.

You *always* want -q.  Otherwise, remind will fork itself into
the background to handle not-yet-expired timed reminders.  You
may discover lots of running "rem" processes you didn't know about!
