This is an old quiz (to me, at least), but a good one.  Some might say a hard one.  Try not to cheat, and rely on what’s between your ears!

(Via AJC) We have a sass problem in our family.
Teen-age sass.
Talk back, argue, and try to negotiate every boundary kind of sass.
“Take away their iPads!” you suggest. “Send them to their rooms!” you insist.
Thank you very much for your parenting input.
Thing is …
The sass, well, it’s not coming from either of the two teenagers who make their home under our roof.
It’s coming from —the cat.
The three-legged cat.
Pisa is her name. As in “Leaning Tower of …“ The cat, who if I’m honest, I will admit is result of a rebound relationship. (more…)

….That moment when you arrive home seriously late -missed dinner- and Mom’s waiting on the front porch….

For the sixth year in a row, a massive fish kill has scientists scratching their heads. “We’re seeing this happen every August.” according to a marine biologist who requested anonymity, “It appears some sort of toxic bloom occurs at this point every summer. We’ve no clue as to the cause.”

Amid troubling times, it is imperative to retain a perspective.

Ebola “On Broadway“

They say the UV lights are bright, on Broadway
They say there’s always virus in the air.
But if you’re walkin’ down the street,
with bleeding people at your feet;
Well then you know you’d better leave Times Square.

They say the Doc’s are something else on Broadway
But seeing haz mat suits gives me the blues;
‘Cause how ya gonna make a dime
While finding masks takes up your time
And one thin mask won’t even block the news.

The admins here at the Treehouse were chit-chatting yesterday (as we often do), and Menagerie called our attention to an article, Seven Signs You’re Too Smart For Your Job.

Menagerie said she noticed it because it was linked to by a former employee of hers.  This person (who apparently thinks that he/she is too smart for the job) failed to exhibit proficiency at either of the two jobs that were assigned, and refused to come to work if it snowed.

Oy!  The big “Snoop Dogg-in-Chief” had a surprise waiting for him when he hit the money-rich environs of Silicon Valley last night.    Maybe those hipster cyberpunks –  (you know, the ones who can crack any code except the dress code) – finally had some kind of epiphany and realized just how spectacularly incompetent Obama really is?

Behold…I give you the “i Snoop” campaign.  And SABO has a message for the street artists responsible…

We would be remiss if we did not report on the reactions of the “most transparent administration evah” to crisis after crisis…. illustrated by the brilliant Dianny of “All The Right Snark.”  Right on, Dianny, right on……

Obama’s obsession with playing golf while the world burns is pretty much a metaphor for how he governs.  He doesn’t govern.  He putts.  Nothing will get in this man’s way when he’s golf-course-bound.  Not one thing.  He doesn’t act like he’s entitled.  He’s enTitleist.
Kidnapped Nigerian Christian girls? Hamas firing rockets into Jerusalem? ISIS murdering Christians? Russians shooting down a civilian airliner?
Will anything get this idiot to put his golf clubs away and even pretend to be President?
