Not yet but if it keeps up much longer or get's much higher, there's no doubt that it will yes.
Somewhat, but I'm not making any less trips in the car than usual.
Yes, it has. At 18 mpg, we can't go to Cape or Sikeston or Poplar Bluff like we used to. My favorite place to eat is called Bella Italia Restaurante in Cape, and I haven't been since August of last year. I've had to cut back on food. I have to use chicken instead of pork or beef because it's the cheapest. I try to use olive oil because it's healthier, but it's too expensive. I'm afraid we're going to experience "The Great Depression" part 2 before something is done.
One question...why did they put the word "great" before the word "depression?"
It was "Great" because it was BIG and WIDESPREAD, not because it was "wonderful," that's for sure!
I'm driving below 60 mph and filling up in Sikeston every chance I get. Today I noticed that gas on I-55 to St. Louis was $3.38, and that's cheaper than some towns I know that start with an "A"!!
I heard on CBS that there's a website called "Carpool.com," but I doubt if it'll help those of us in small towns.
Hey, do you think the railroads will have a resurgence of popularity?? I could go for some of those cool retro passenger cars!
sorry for off topic but I'm tired of reading about someone being avid dodgers fans, like I really care, isn't there anything more interesting going on around here or possibly something we should really know about? please update the news........
Yes.I try to spend less on groceries and we do not eat out as often. I also don't buy as many household cleaners as I used to.
Mr. MikeM68- I disagree with you. I do not know this Mr. Dewitt nor do I know his family, but I think that it is great that someone from this area has hit the big times. Congrats to him. It makes me proud, it should be announced. After all, we also have, Tammy Wynette, Cheryl Crow, Kerry Robinson, so hey! some of us like to hear this sort of news.

I agree with you Dexter Lady...why should all the news be bad news? A little good news from time to time is bound to lift a few spirits. In this day and age, we all need a good lift.
Actually, MikeM68, if you haven't noticed you live in the bootheel of Missouri, where there are little bitty towns where everyone knows each other. that's why you are reading about people being dodger fans (especially since it is their grandson)...that IS news down in Stoddard County.
I am originally from the stoddard county area, and quite frankly I found that article quite lovely and refreshing. I now live in a huge city, and you dont hear nice stories about someone's offspring making it to the big time that often. Im honestly tired of hearing all the news about crime all the time. Maybe if we quit "praising" everyone's wrong doing, there wouldnt be so much of it.
You hit the nail on the head about small towns. While some people look at our "news" as "hokey," that's exactly what makes small towns great. Our newspapers (if they're smart!) still have local news - and it's refreshing to see journalists who care about the good news and the stories that warm their readers' hearts!
FOR SURE WE DRIVE NO FASTER THAN 55MPH NOW.SURE SAVES GAS.WE TRY TO LEAVE EARLY SO DON'T HAVE TO RUSH.TRY IT,IT REALLY WORKS...
NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO GO ON A DIET AND SAVE MONEY ON GROCERIES...
I for one am a die hard CARDINAL fan, but was thrilled to see the story about Blake and his family. We all got behind Tyler, now its time we all support Blake. Go DeWitt! In Southeast Missouri we may live in different towns but we are all one BIG community. Thats what makes it so great. So, to the Blake DeWitt family, congrats on making your dreams come true. Southeast Missouri supports you. But, when you play the Cards is August, we will be there watching in our CARDINAL RED! But we will be happy to stand and cheer for our "neighbor."
Off subject and I really am no baseball fan, but congratulations, Mr. Dewitt!
And I'm proud to live in the bootheel of Missouri! Where manners are still in style! Where neighbors know each other enough to care! Where we hang together inspite of our differences and the high gas prices!
I didn't say it wasn't great but how long has that story been there? That's all I am saying why you take everything negatively? Cheer up
oh that is why I said please "update" the news It's awesome for someone from small town rural america to rise through the crowd and make something of themselves :)
Hey, MikeM68, your comment really got this topic cookin'! Good job! (Okay, now, what WAS the topic???)
