so what the problem?

how do I solve this without creating seperate event Docs for the next 5  
years and storing them; why would I want to do that? Yes I can store an  
Array of dates and I can find the event documents  
however I need each repeat to return a document why?

so I can sort and find events; yes there is a master event that knows what  
is repeated etc. but in terms of pagination and a ui I want these events to  
be seen as individual documents

any ideas or suggestion most welcome; The only solution I can see is to  
bulk create all these events and have logic on the 'app' side that would  
know how to update/delete based on the 'master' event being changed?

Thanks
