So here's a question about if something is explicitly detailed in Constitution

I'm wondering about Freedom of Speech. Isn't your "right" to donate a boatload of money with no limit to a candidate held under the freedom of speech concept? Unlimited donations are not explicitly mentioned in Constitution but it's been interpreted that way, right? (Also Hustler Magazine for that matter, but that's another situation.)

Question about uninstalling gmail app

My AT&T email was on the Gmail app for years. About a year ago I noticed it wasn't syncing or refreshing in a timely manner so I went to AT&T store. They said Gmail app was acting up recently but no solution. I recently missed some important emails so went to store again. The guy suggested installing my email on Yahoo app. It's working better now. My question: is it ok now to uninstall the Gmail app?

A good raincoat?

I need some advice. I just got back from a tour to the Adriatic including Croatia and Slovenia. It rained a couple days and my new Lands End "raincoat" was worthless. Wet hair, and wet arms! It was sold as good for light showers. No!
Looking online I see some but several revues say they do not keep out rain. Even some ponchoes.
Does anyone know of a good womens raincoat with hood that actually keeps you dry?
Appreciate any suggestions.

Anyone else rediscovering music you have loved for years?

So I'm on my walk through the 'hood with my iPod listening to my faves, and I think, hey what about some Joni Mitchell. OMG. I've always loved the voice, the sublime and awesome piano, the drop dead in your tracks lyrics. Turned on Down to You. I had forgotten the orchestral arrangement. What a masterpiece. I replayed it 3 times. Then A Case of You. Then For Free. The early 70's had some kick ass music and Joni was a big part if it.

So we need to move my 98 yr old mother to assisted living

We had her in a board &care place for 6 weeks which she hated. So we hired a full time caregiver and brought her home. Problem is we are paying under the table, and my CPA brother is afraid we will get "caught" and be on the hook for taxes and other payroll deductions we should be taking. The State of Calif has time and again determined these workers as employees, not independent contractors like our caregiver keeps saying she is. She is asking for a 1099 nec form for her taxes which we will do. She says this has sufficed in the past. We are also afraid she may fall and hurt herself and sue us for unsafe workplace. Looked into workers comp ins also.
So we are looking at a beautuful facility in Pasadena, Villa Gardens. Mom doesn't want to go of course.
At the end of my rope. Anyone dealing with this? I know alot of us have elderly parents. Thanks for reading.

This is so cute!

I've been leaving in-the-shell peanuts on the ground around my birdbath for crows and squirrels. I think I got my first "gift" from the crows. A little rubber duckie was in the birdbath!
Unless they left it there for themselves to play with, I'm not sure. Anyway...cute!

How to help Ukraine

I just read the post about our vets joining the fight. I jumped to Charity Navigator, a great resourse. They have listed organizations to donate to. Do it.

If this has already been posted here I apologize

But Russian Television (RT) just stopped broadcasting yesterday and fired most of staff!!
It was ch 370 on my AT&T system. I called several months ago about why it was on my tv. No good answer. Today it says, "This channel no longer available."
