Re: [libreoffice-users] Using Lightning with Google Calendar | How to | Thunderbird

Oh, so now I think I understand.
As I said in a previous post, I have just been creating duplicate 
calendars on both Google and Lightening.
So - my two tabs for Calendar (local) and Google Calendar (Google) each 
show just "their" calendars, which happen to be pretty much the same 
since I have been making dual entries.

To make my life easier and just need one entry per event, I can close 
the Google Calendar tab and just use the Lightening Calendar tab if I 
create a network calendar in the Lightening Calendar tab and give it my 
Google address - which should then make it a Google calendar.
THAT is why the instructions for the Provider add-on described how to 
find the Google calendar URL !
OK, now I think I understand.
Before I can change to just the one tab though I guess I need to 
re-think how I organize my calendars. That should not be too difficult.
Thank you for explaining.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong
You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence.
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
You cannot establish security on borrowed money.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they will not do for themselves.
