|  |  |  | | From the editor:  I know it's early but I will be enjoying the long weekend with friends and family as I hope you will be! Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and your families. It begins that time of year where the generosity of the American people shines through. Every time I pass a Salvation Army kettle with my children, I have them put something in. I know I feel good about that and I believe they do as well. My wife and Kids have been volunteering at the food pantry to put together baskets for the less fortunate, and I believe it will make a difference in the way my children view their own circumstances compared to others. I hope, actually I know many of you out there feel the same way. Just look at the numbers. The American people are the most compassionate in the world. We give the most to charity. We feed the world. We help victims of natural and human disaster. Don't let anyone try to tell you different. They are wrong. We know it is the critics that need to look in the mirror and evaluate their standing in this world. We know ours and we are proud. So we give thanks, and we pray for others to do the same. We all have much to give thanks for. Again, HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Thanks for your few minutes of support each week! If you missed the first 16 editions of SoundCheck don't fret.

Leave a comment if you feel impelled. I don't think we have an shortage of qualified natural born American citizens for the office of president to even consider amending the constitution. We will survive without AAArnold being aloud to run for president! Should we start playing Taps for the VHS recorder and player? When you finish your turkey and kick back on Thanksgiving, you may be happy to know there is a Seinfeld reunion to watch... Original music scene & not so original...

Common sense? We need to be real careful we don't chase drug companies right out of the market of developing new drugs. All drugs have a risk to benefit ratio and when the FDA approves a drug, we can't go back and start suing these same companies that are improving most people's quality of life! Did you know? I lived in Plymouth but did not come over on the Mayflower.
Fact, fiction, or funny All I can say is God Bless Women!! (some brownie points, I hope) A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:
"Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through, so please allow her body to switch with mine for a day.
Amen.
God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish. The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman.
He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids,
Set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, Drove them to school, came home and picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaners And stopped at the bank to make a deposit, went grocery shopping, then drove home to put away the groceries.
Paid the bills and balanced the checkbook.
He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog.
Then it was already 1 P.M. and he hurried to make the beds , do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor. Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home.
Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework, then set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing. At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper.
After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed.
At 9 P.M. he was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint.
The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said
"Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day. Please, oh please, let us trade back."
The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied, "My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were. You'll just have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant last night."
