why do reminders in reminder app disappear before I have checked them off as being completed?

I added some reminders to my reminder app a week ago, but once the time arrived for them to remind me the reminders disappeared from the list. I was not able to check them off as being done or alter the time to have the reminder reset for a future date since the task was not yet complete. I am also continuously getting a reminder for a task that I have already completed but have no way of checking it off to say it is complete so the reminder keeps appearing even though the event is past. How do I fix that problem. It would also be nice to be able to add locations other than those in my contact list, like grocery shopping. I do not have the grocery store listed in my contact list for obvious reasons, it would be nice to be able to use the map app on the iphone to search for the location of a place where I want the reminder to be actived to remind me

iPhone 4, iOS 5

I don't know if this will apply to you or not, it certainly won't be of any help because I never did figure out how to fix it. 😉

Anyway, I have my hubby's yahoo email and calendar set up on my phone. I noticed that in those settings there was an option to turn on Reminders. I thought, oh cool, if we set up reminders on our phones, it will be pushed to each others phone like the calendar. Not. In Reminders, there was a page listed with his email addy on it and everytime I would add something to that page it would disappear. A couple of days later a couple of pages showed up in Reminders on his phone with a huge string of number and letters in the heading where the email address had been. I never did get it to work right and just turned it off on both phones. I don't know if what I was tryng to do was just wishful thinking or if it was a glitch. I think odds are its about 50/50.
