damn.
I hate my Google calendar. I’m also totally dependent on my Google calendar.
Excuse me. I have to go take the rubbish out.

Boy, does that ever hit close to home! Color me dependant as well. Using Ggoggle Calendar is about as much fun as I imagine a DIY colonoscopy would be.

@Durnedyankee — Are you using the Spouse Calendar or the Big Brother Calendar? 😉

Are you being ironic calling it “rubbish” or have you actually turned your back on garbage as the descriptor for what you drag to the crick? Sorry…brook? Rivulet? Estuary?
Not being judgy, rubbish is a superior word in most every way.

This just in!
Julie Christie, as a wild and free youthful maid, was tossed out of a convent school in East Sussex (UK) !!!! I think the fatal offense was telling a joke that poked fun at something or someone who she should have revered. BTW, have you ever seen the list of awards and nominations she has to her name? WOW!

Spouse calendar.
I’m always amazed how many things I’ve agreed to 😂.
But now I’ve discovered the Italians have a name for my new job – The joy of doing nothing.
La Dolce Far Niente.
I intend to master this.

Husband and I have been retired about 5 years now. We used to have pretty regular schedules when we worked. Our shared calendar now is a jumbled mess! My MD appointments are in one color, his are in another (and once you retire you all the sudden have to see all the -ologists). We’ve become active in our HOA committees because we want to tamp down the “enthusiasts” whilst minimizing our expenditures so we have his meetings in one color and mine in another. We live in south FL so we are “winter vacation central” for friends and family so those visits are in one color for a meet up and another color for a house guest. Some of our friends here still work so our planned meet-ups/boatings/pool float days are yet another color.
Being retired ain’t for the unorganized.
I raise you one jumbled mess and wish you well with the rubbish.

@Durnedyankee — That’s a noble and admirable ambition! Mind if I join you?

@durnedyankee…you’re in charge of the group lessons. I’ll look for the schedule to be posted here.

Pups, I swore I’d never pick up Britishisms. But over time, you forget what those are.

Google is pants but it’s slightly less terrible as an interface than Microsoft, even though Google is more adept at being evil.

I use the Lightning calendar under my Thunderbird e-mail client on Linux. Seems to work quite well!
