There are two date ranges as well as regular dates. It might be that recurring events that occur on days that are inside of a date range do not show up. On mine, "Bath for dog" doesn't show up on April 14th, for instance which happens to be inside of a date range. The Pay Cell Phone item does not occur 90 days later (about 4/15) which would also be inside of a date range. BUT it also does not occur on or near 7/15, which is not inside of a date range. The "Do this every 3 months" item does not show up in June, even though it would not fall inside of a date range.
