Hello this I live in Oklahoma City I look forward to joining the discussion here.
How do you ad a Avatar on your messages?

Hey Element. Welcome to OKCTalk. We're glad to have you here and look forward to getting to know you better.

As far as avatars are concerned, that's one of the perks that we give to our Premium Members. To pay the expenses of operating the site (server expenses, software, etc.) we have a Premium Member system where people can donate $47 for the entire year to help us out.

Here's more information on that: http://www.okctalk.com/payments.php

Hey, that's pretty cool. I am really enjoying this site, so this premium membership thing may be what I am looking for. I've never, ever, given money to a message board, however, there is always a first time.

I sent a message to Karried, one of the moderators here, and asked about it. I may shell out a few bucks too. It seems like a nice site you all have here.

I have been living in Oklahoma City area for 6 years and call it home away from home. I am originally from bangladesh and a OU Alumni currently living in Edmond and working for a oil company in Oklahoma City.

I hope I will get to know some of you here and share some valuable as well as fun information.

It has sure been a long time since I was on this forum. I am now back for good. My undercover operations are now complete, and I am back on the streets in full uniform.

For those that don't know, I was a regular on here about a year ago. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I had to leave. I have since become a Master Sgt and an FTO (field training officer). I have been on the OKC police force for 15 years now, and I love what I do.

Hey 1Adam12, glad to see you back. If I remember correctly, you were an officer around the Bricktown area? Anyways, when you left there was still time left on your Premium Membership, and you asked that we kept the refund, so I'd be glad to upgrade you.

Welcome back.

Welcome back.
Thanks, an upgrade would be great. I am no longer working in the Bricktown area. It seems they wanted to move me to Santa-Fe, so that is where I work out of now.

Hi everyone. 1Adam12 told me about this site. I'm also an officer out of Santa Fe. Looking forward to joining the discussion.

Please take a moment and introduce yourself.

I'll start.

My name is Patrick. I'm a medical student here in OKC. Have lived here all of my life. Am currently taking a break from school but plan to return in July 2005. I'm engaged and plan on getting married in May of 2005. I'm a graduate from the OKC Public school system and am currently 24 years of age. Bricktown definitely interests me, as does commuter rail, tourism, and basically any city issue.

Hello! My name is Michele and I am located in Des Moines Iowa. But just for now, my husband is a GM for the Cheesecake Factory and we are relocating to the Oklahoma store. This would put us closer to family. Some in Texas and more in Missouri. I love reading and finding out about my new home. I could use any help as to where the best places to live would be. This a great site and been very interesting! Thanks

Hey madison. Glad to have you here. We'd love to hear updates as progress on the Cheesecake Factory at Penn Square progresses. Glad to have you here.

Send me an email and I can suggest some places to live. Anthing there west of the mall and north of the mall is nice, depending on the money you have. Wileman Belle Isle is excellent. I wouldn't go directly south of the mall though.

Hi my name is Kurt I just found this site it is really cool.OKC rocks.I am a very proud citizen of this city.Keep up the good work

Hey Kurt, we're thrilled to have you here.

Hello all! Wasn't born in OKC; been in OKC for 26 years; sometimes work has taken me out of state but this is home.

And I'm guessing Quail Creek is your home now?

I'm TomGirl...a single mother and have a strong love of life, however, I'm a realist and I'm fine with that (hints my posts in some of these forums), I'm really a seriously positive person and a jokingly negitive person. I work hard and give it all to my family. My life is full of a bunch of little bad memories and tons of giant great memories, but for the most part, I live for today. I've lived in OKC since I was seven and will always feel at home here. I'm an annual (skinny in the summer, fat in the winter)well...that's about it!

Hi TomGirl.......You have come to the right place. It's good to see you already posting on the site and sharing your opinions. That's what it is all about.

BTW, it's very tough being a single mother, so I admire you for being able to do it.

I'm an Oklahoma native and OKC resident. I've been married for many years and have one son who is about to graduate from OU.
Howdy!

Hi all,
I'm Lauri. I've been an OKC metro area resident for 35 years (minus time out in Air Force).
I'm currently a federal employee in downtown OKC. My full-time duties are exclusively as Chapter President of our federal labor union. I've worked downtown for 22 years and love to see the changes that are going on.

I'm not going to post my opinions until I get a feel for the boards. I do have some strong opinions which will likely show with time.

I have two adult daughters, one son-in-law and one wonder-baby grandson. My youngest daughter is in the Army, just out of deployment in Afghanistan and heading to Ft. Sill this summer. I share my humble abode with SO C.R. and 4 spoiled-rotten cats.

Cheers!

Hello, I am Mscool! I saw this website mentioned in the Oklahoman on Tuesday and thought I would drop it and then I joined the group! I was raised in OKC and lived south side. I now live south of Blanchard. I love to hear about OKC past and present.

Hello Gang. I'm a Hobart, OK transplant and have been a NW Village resident for 5 years. I'm a commercial real estate appraiser and email forum extreme-novice.

It's great to have all of you in the OKCTalk family now. I am especially excited that mscool found us via the Oklahoman article.

Mscool, I have many friends that live in Blanchard....a great place to live.

I was born in OKC, spent early life in Capital Hill area. Interested in people that went to Lee Elementary Sch in late 50s. or grew up around that area. That makes me a respectably young senior. Moved away from OK to Albuq and all over the US but moved back to the great state and gave 20 yrs of my life to OKDPS. Im interested in politics, Children, Family, Education have strong views on State reform. Love OKC, and the Great Plains area where I reside.

Hi,

Welcome all! Glad to have ya!

Hi, my name is John. I'm currently living in Wichita Falls, TX. I joined this forum so I could learn as much about this town as I could before moving here.

As the name implies, I am a cab driver. Have been for 25 years in Minnesota, Las Vegas, Orlando and now Wichita Falls.

I do have a bit of a redneck side. My definition of a redneck is a hard working guy (or gal) who enjoys a simple, laid back style of life.

I hope to meet some of you when I do make the move to OKC.

Welcome Redneck Cabbie! You will love living here if that is what you enjoy... it's a great place to live and work.

When are you making the big move?

Thank you...

My fiance and I are waiting for proceeds from the sale of some property in northern Minnesota. As soon as that comes, we'll be on the way.

I am very much looking forward to it.

Again, :welcome55

Hey all :tiphat:, just found out about this website through a link on another website (I think it was the Bricktown one) when I was looking for whats going on in the city this weekend.. I just moved here a month ago from Boston so a little bit of culture shock :tweeted: but I absolutely love Oklahoma! I can't believe it.. as a diehard Northeasterner nearly my whole life (lived in New Jersey most of my life.. hehe :)) but yeah its great! The people are so nice, the weather is wonderful (ok a little hot with this 100+ streak :stars: but can't beat going swimming in the pool everyday!) Can't wait to start participating in the forums! :sofa:

I am glad to her the new and :welcome55 !!!!!

Hey, my name is Lauren, and I live in Moore. I'm fourteen (Yes, gasp, I know.), and have a brother and several animals, not to mention a couple of parents.
I've lived in Moore all of my life but six months, when a fire displaced us to OKC, and love it here - More so when it's cold. :P
I love to write, and hope to be an author someday, but until then, I'll stick to writing English essays and IMs.
I'm kind of a freak about school board issues, and wish the kids could have more of a say, but I'm just happy we don't have uniforms or constant personal searches yet.
It's really neat to see all these Okie-people here, and I'm glad to be one. :)

I am so glad you joined! Oh, at least we were invited to represent HWJH at the Moore Public Schools’ meeting on the new high school decision. Goooooo Sabercats! South Moore Rocks! I wish you were going to Moore High, seeing as how this is my first year there, ya know.

I am graduate of Westmoore.

Wow I guess things are happening in Moore these days.

I cannot believe they already have a mascot and name for the school.

Or is that just wishful thinking on your part?

Nope. They've got it all figured out, it seems; Most of the kids at my school are future SouthMoore Saber Cats now.
It's kind of amazing.

I think its safe to say a second football stadium will be added to the Moore district in the near future.

It will be hard to run three large schools on one football field.

I agree.

Where they would build it, though, I have no clue.

Well, actually when Lauren and I were at the committee meetings, someone asked if there was going to be a new football stadium. Mrs. Debbie Venard, President of the Board of Education, said that there no plans for a new stadium, but they are going to look into getting a new stadium for the near future. I assume that this new school is going to put a little hole in their pocket for the next five or so years. I would guesstimate that Moore will get a new stadium within the next five years after SouthMoore is built.

When I said near future I was thinking 5-10 years.

The new school would have to open and grow a little before they actually do it.

The site of the new school is probably not going to provide enough room to build a new stadium. I think an ideal place would be on land that is on the northside of the Westmoore.

Hello everyone. My name is Yale, I live in St. Louis and I'm a 1993 OCU Law grad preparing to make my first return trip to OKC since 1994. I'm looking forward to taking in a couple of Blazer games (I've already checked and they're playing a Friday-Saturday home set) and revisiting some of the old haunts from my law school days (the ones that have survived, anyway). I really enjoyed my 3 years in OKC and have always had a great affinity for the area - I just haven't had a great opportunity to get back lo these twelve or so years. That changes this November. I'm really looking forward to it.

Hey yall! My name is Brent, and I am (or will be at the end of the month, hah) a 21-year old college sophomore. I currently attend OCCC, but am transferring to OU next year for a business adminstration degree. I am originally from the Kansas City area, and moved here 2 years ago for school. I love Oklahoma City, the people here are so friendly!

I look forward to talking with all of you!

I'm Jeff, a 21-year-old student going into my 4th year of mechanical engineering at OSU in Stillwater. I have always been interested in OKC development, I actually served on the inaugural class of the OKC youth council in '02. I have lived in the northwest part of OKC my whole life, a product of the wonderful Putnam City school system. You may have already or will possibly see me around with a clipboard sketching or painting somewhere in downtown...I try to make it down there when I find the time and spend a good part of the day hanging out and enjoying the city.

Hi all...this is such a great site. I just discovered it!! I've been in OKC for three years now with two children. We love this wonderful city and all the fun attractions (we just went to the Omniplex last weekend!). I look forward to talking with ya'll!!
