Wake Up Oklahoma
I thought I'd start a thread to see if other Okies were out there. I've lived in this state almost 3 years and haven't been able to get other Okies to meet and greet anywhere. I'm still good for anyone that wants to meet up in Tulsa or OKC. The drive is still going to be an hour for me either way. An eatery works better for me than a bar would.

Hey I'm here! What more could you want?

Good morning all. Im not a born and raised Okie...actually a proud New England Yankee but well..Ive been here 8 years soooooooo I guess that counts for something ;)
|
Have any of y'all gotten any snow?
|
We havent here Im near Lawton/Ft Sill in the SW part. Its cold as heck though
|
Hmmm ok, I know its cold there
|
Tulsa
I'm present and accounted for. Not a native Okie. I'm from PA. Did I mention I hate winter? Never would have moved here had I known it got this cold. I left SC for this ???? Oh well. Looking forward to summertime.
|
The winters here dont bother me except the ice..we hardly get snow but I hate the summers too dang hot and my a/c bill it off the charts. Will take winter here anytime
What part you in Jagg? |
summer
Tulsa Area Inuus. I love summer. 110 degrees I'm happy. It's never too hot for me.
|
Wow you will love the summers here then!!
I stay inside most of the summer I really am a northern type person by nature |
Does anyone here, live in Oklahoma City? A move to someplace warmer in the Winter and lower in elevation is in my future. Oklahoma City is one place I'm considering, and I would appreciate any insights or comments you might have. Thanks in advance.
|
I dont live in OKC I live near the TX/OK border about 90 mins south of the City but Im sure there are people in here from there. Good luck with your move :)

oh oh Oklahoma
Hey You
Just came by to say HI... I lived in Oklahoma for many years, in and around Tulsa... I have many AWESOME, WONDERFUL AND ABSOLUTELY THE BEST friends I have ever known... I'm back in Florida now but I miss you all and would like to keep in touch if you all will let me hang out !!! Have an awesome night moonfemme |
Hey moonfemme, nice to see someone else has posted recently! You are more than welcome to hang out with us Okies!!
|
hey
It's me JAGG I'm in Tulsa!!! Good friends with moonfemme. Liam ask any questions you have about OKC . we could probably answer them. There are lots of jobs here, cost of living is low, and housing is very affordable, not alot of crime and people are friendly. But rude drivers as a whole, friendly in person. Neighbors look out for each other and aside from winter the weather is pretty nice. An occasional tornado here and there but no big deal really. It's a pretty good place to live. Like any other place it has it's pro's and con's , every place is what you make it .

Where to?

I personally think finding a job in Oklahoma is dependent on what you do
I lived there 4 years and couldn't find work the last 2 years in the profession I've been in for 15 years I think it also depends on which city or town you chose to make your home in Right now the economy is hard hit everywhere and those that have jobs should keep them Just my own opinion And I actually liked it in Oklahoma, but unless you're in one of the big cities, you're isolated from community and jobs |
Jobs

Life has a funny way of taking turns and I'm back in Oklahoma
I'll be in OKC on the 28th and that's the area I'll be looking to call home I have orientation for a PT job there and that's a start anyhow When one door opens, more are sure to follow I think maybe this was where I was supposed to be all the time because it kept calling me back I was edgy and stressed for over a month, but am quite calm since being back here I know I certainly missed my cats and they missed me bunches |
Did you get a chance to check out those properties or the info I gave R.? :harley:

When you click on sign up, it's a 7 day trial offer and then they want your credit card info. Any other help would be great. As you know, me and the kitties need a place soon. |
wolfy
Just go into any grocery store or walmart, walgreen,any cafe, there are hundreds of apt and homes for rent and sale magazines, right by the front doors as you enter. They are free. Or grab a local newspaper the classifieds have a bunch as well. There are so many it will make you dizzy. Or call coldwell banker they have a rental division.

Finding a rental is easy, but finding a rental that will take my rescues and one I can afford right now is the problem. I see a lot in the paper, even see some on craigs list. Hopefully over the next 6 months, I'll find homes for 6 or 7 of them. |

Happy New Year 2011 to Everyone... :~)

i'm finally moving to OK this month! not sure when this month, i hope near the end of the month but could be as soon as ASAP, lol. i'll be living in Garvin Co., near Elmore City. i'll be making frequent trips to OKC and am really looking forward to being in a more temperate clime than WV! all okies please drop by this thread and say hello! tell me where Y/you live and something about your area!
pres :moonstars: |

I'll be leaving Stillwater by months end hoping to find something cheap in OKC that will take my rescues and be bug free. My drive to work right now is one hour fifteen minutes. Let me know when you get to Oklahoma and hopefully we'll be able to catch up with each other and maybe get some of these other Okies to come out. |
Oklahoma City here
I live in Oklahoma City and I have NO earthly idea where Elmore City is. But passing through and making new friends is always a possibility. Welcome to the best state in the Union!! :welcome:
|
hey
I live in Tulsa I never heard of Elmore city either? Anyway hope you like it here. It's a nice place to live.
|
moving to OK in 2 weeks!
i'm moving to OK in two weeks! i'll be living in Garvin Co. but making frequent trips to OK City and perhaps Tulsa for dr.'s appt's, shopping, etc. really looking forward to the change from WV. this is the first time i've lived out west in the flatlands. how long does it take to be an okie?
pres :moonstars: |
Elmore City is about an hour south of OKC
The movie Footloose was based on that town It didn't allow dancing in it for about 100 years, a stupid law Pres, you have relatives there? I mean, how did you come to choose Elmore City? Oh, edited to add, I think you have to be born here to be a true Okie, lol. |
Re:Elmore City
i'm not moving into Elmore City per se. i think that it's just the closest town to where i'll br living. i'm moving in w/my best friend (nothing romantic-she's not butch and has given up on relationships). she's got a farm out in Garvin (?) Co. she wants some company, and i want some peace n quiet. i think this will be great for both of us. i'll get a chance to lick my wounds, and she'll have someone to talk to, keep the dog company while she's at work, etc. for once i won't have anyone to take care of but myself! the temp is milder; the house will be warm, and i'll have friends around there. looking so forward to this move....

Finally arrived!
ok, OK! i've finally arrived! of course, -10 degree weather was NOT a nice way to welcome a damselfemme fleeing cold climes! i forgive the Weather Gods their irony, since the extreme cold lasted only a short while. the weather has been beautiful here in south central OK! a show of hands, please? anyone near the "Mores"-More, Elmore City, Ardmore? i want friends! *putting my hands on hips and stamping a petite foot* i'm about 70 miles from OKC, if that helps, and get to the city fairly often. (this is pres, btw. apparently when i changed my nick, it really screwed up my account, so i had to go reregister.)
i do like it here, though tis different from anywhere else i've lived. i'm a Deep South grrl originally and never really lived outside the South. DamselFly :blueheels: |
