Calendar not syncing both ways

It is crazy, but after reading this comment, I finally got a test event entered on my Note 3 to sync with my desktop. Per the title, events on my desktop propagated to the Note 3 without difficultly. My version of the Note 3 is Sprint.

Taking it into the Sprint store resulted in no help. Of course, they could not see my Desktop in the Sprint store. I had no problem with a Galaxy 3 that I had for some years before the Note 3.

Somewhere there is a lesson for Google or Samsung here. Syncing a calendar should not be difficult at all. In this case, it is amazingly convoluted. This is why many get locked into an Apple Ecosystem. It is user friendly I hear. Admittingly, this is the first function I found on Android that drove me nuts...and caused me to miss appointments.

To be specific, I believe what worked was to "uncheck" "my calendars". So unintuitive!! ARGHH!! I also did a manual sync, but that may not have been necessary. I am not sure.
