Open a new topic man You may be able to use sexp diary entry if you can specify the conditions algorithmically, but that's advanced stuff. Of course you can just edit your diary file after the fact. In the calendar buffer just press s Delete line, e.g. "Tuesday 6:00pm cook dinner" Save buffer. Of course now your weekly chore has been deleted so its better to leave the time-slot collision and just do move to date in calendar buffer i d 5:00-7:00pm whatever - no dinner. either before or after the "cook dinner" line.
