google calendar (to remind or not to remind)

i love google and the products it offers.  i just wish more things were set to manual than full-blown auto; eg. google calendar.  every time i create an event it automatically sets TWO reminders (one email and the other a pop-up) for 10 minutes before the event starts.  THEREFORE... every time i create an event i spend a couple of seconds deleting shit i don't need off of the event.  reminders are worthless, most likely because whatever the event is that i'm attending is going to be farther away than 10 minutes.

ONCE in a great while i do need to use the reminder for an event and then you come to realize that reminders don't work past 4 weeks... OK, i have a reception in July, the RSVP is 2 months before that and it's now only march?!?!?!?!?!?!  i can't set a reminder because i can only go back from july to june so i have to then create a NEW EVENT just to remind myself... and of course i need to delete both auto-reminders again for that too.

AUTO - 0
MANUAL - 1
