Good news for Oklahoma.

"Oklahoma's economy is strong, that's the message Governor Brad Henry wanted to emphasize today."

the lowest price I have seen for gas in Tulsa is $2.37 if it is any consolation to Oklahoma's economy being strong.

Does Oklahoma have the lowest prices in the nation right now. I have not seen 2 dollar gas since the beginning of 2007. It is nice to see again. I think it will continue to drop is the price of oil drops below 50 dollars a barrel.

According to the map from the hyperlink, I was surprised to learn that Oklahoma was at risk for recession, whereas Texas was at expansion.

Boy, I sure hope OK is doing well cause I'm headed that way. The stock market here and globally this morning are scary indeed. I'm really glad I don't have any money tied up in the stock market. I feel for my parents and others that do though.

I saw that, it was not even 5 minutes when the market opened and the DOW lost almost 500 points.

I know what you mean. This year is especially difficult for my parents because we are struggling to pay bills and all of my paychecks go to my parents to help them out. They are stressed and I am stressed myself. It is just so sad as to what this economy has come to. On top of that, my car completely broke down (transmission went), and it will cost about 6 grand that I do not have. My dads car also has no brakes on his car and he cannot afford to fix it. The more I think about the problems I am dealing with, the more I want to pack my things and flee for Texas overnight when everybody is sleeping (but I cannot do that because I have no money saved up). "Sighs" But I have to tell myself to hang in there and that I will make it through these hard times. I have to stay focus in school and work and I know that my time will come to move to Texas. I will work hard and nobody can or will take this away from me. Every single day I think about Texas and it is all I ever think about. I just ask God, please, please, please let me move to Texas when the time comes. I am ready to leave Oklahoma more than ever.

So sorry for pouring out all of my problems to you. I am just sad at this situation. It was no intention to discourage you at all.

I do hope that all is well is going for your folks here in Oklahoma and I am truly glad that your dream is coming true as you make your move to Oklahoma.

You can't swap out the pads and make it function till you have the money to get the rotors turned and the calipers replaced? Actually, I think most the parts stores will turn the rotors for about $5.00, unless they are too thin to turn, and you should be able to get salvage ones for under $15..........I thought you were a mechanic? and You will let your dad drive on bad brakes?
