The DTS

In my LinkedIn profile, under "Organizations", it lists membership in the Denis Thatcher Society. Denis Thatcher (1915-2003) was the husband of Margaret Thatcher, who served as Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1979-1990.
Margaret Thatcher was a tough and decisive politician, as the Argentinians found out to their regret when they invaded the Falkland Islands. Denis ended up spending the bulk of their married life in the background always being graceful and supportive.
So what is the Denis Thatcher Society? The criteria for membership is a bit vague. One source says that membership is based upon husbands whose wives have jobs that earn more than they do. My preferred explanation is broader, and I tell people that members of the DTS are "men who are married to powerful women".
As a nurse, I have worked in a profession that has been predominately female (about 95%). True or not (I would not want to start a debate) I have been given the impression by that majority that women are superior to men. Over the years, I have found that the best approach is to keep my mouth shut and just try to get along.
We proud members of the DTS respect our spouses and are always prepared to respond to them with the DTS slogan: "Yes dear".
Anyone out there want to join?

Our First Orange President

Recent history is replete with examples of individuals who "enhance" their appearance as part of their mystique. Ozzy Osborne, Alice Cooper and Elton John (in their early years), the late Tammy Fay Baker, the members of KISS and many others got your attention with their appearance, regardless of the accompanying talent.

We can now add Donald Trump, our first orange president, While I recognize that many in public life, including actors and politicians, use makeup (because some look a bit like gargoyles without it), most make choices that fall withing the realm of what may be considered "normal" for the species. Looking at the above photo, Donald Trump's selection doesn't seem to fall within that realm. If you Google "skin color", you will not find orange among the examples.
Ever since Trump announced his run for President, I have found him to be occasionally frightening, but always amusing. His "fact free" pronouncements rivals George W. Bush's "intellectual celibacy". Trying to understand his position on anything is akin to trying to hold smoke in your hand.
The next four years are going to be quite interesting. Even though I don't think highly of Trump, good manners obligates me to at least give him a chance to not prove himself to be the worst President in history.
If I were able to offer Trump a little advice, though, it would be to have his makeup artist select a skin tone that is more toward "Presidential" on the spectrum and further away from "clown".
