Wait. What? I'm gonna need some deets here. Please provide more context to the story of your paying strangers to call up your girlfriend every day.

Awesomeness Reminders was a service introduced at $10/month that would call you (or someone else) once a day to say "You're Awesome" -- as a way to cheer you up.

I opted to have this call go to my girlfriend. Didn't tell her anything. She's a very girly girl, and loves when anyone says "Your shoes look pretty etc". She thought it was quirky, funny, but then liked getting the awesome calls.

After a while, the daily calls became biweekly calls. Then I got this email: http://i.imgur.com/iqGmE.png
