ooopssss.all that typing and did the wrong thing.. My name is Deni I own a business in OKC and working on expanding. The expansion should be done next week. I have lived in OK most of my life born here so this is HOME.. I dont have alot of time to log on so bear with me.

Howdy! Just ran across this forum - very interesting. Thanks to Todd for starting this baby up.

Hello All..just joined the site as I had previously been a "lurker" for quite sometime. I am in the Denton, TX area but I make the short drive up to Oklahoma at times to visit friends or just to get away from the DFW area and to explore what the state has to offer.
I've never been disappointed and I hope I can eventually add to some of the discussions on this board.

Thanks..and by the way, I really learn a lot on here so keep up the informative posts!

Hi all!! New here but have followed the site for some time. Living in OKC, love bricktown and love live music. Just saw a few things that I might want to comment on sooo here I am--

Hi maestro, 940, and Luckyduck.....it's great to have all of you here on the forum. Although you have already been "lurking" for a while, it's great to finally have you aboard. I hope you enjoy the forum.

Again, :welcome55

I've been on the site for a little while, but haven't ever put an introduction about myself on here.


I'm 24 (turning 25 on October 1st). I've been married for just over 2 years. I'm a journalist, but I hate the media. (I know that doesn't make sense, but it's the truth)


That's the basics. I know I'm not too interesting

:beaten_fi

I live in Texas but lived in Edmond and Stillwater for several years. I just found this site so I thought I would check it out.

I have been lurking around this site for quite a while now, and am fascinated by some of the discussions. I look forward to giving my opinions.

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.

Edmond does it, and they share with UCO's team.

All I will say is that if they use natural turf, it won't work. Artificial turf? No problem.

Good morning. My name is peanut265 and I am new to the Oklahoma City area recently moving from Chicago. I have some family in the area and thought I would relocate to spend some time with them. I work in healthcare and am job hunting at this time. Iam over 45 but less than 53 (lol). I have many interests, biking, cooking, travel, current events, steel tip darts and always enjoy trying new things. I have been spending a bit of time at Paws Park in between unpacking and settling in.

Hi peanut265, it is great to have you on this forum. I believe that you will thoroughly enjoy the discussions we have on here. We are just like family, so jump on in and make some friends........

Again, :welcome5:

Good luck finding a job! I'm sure you'll find something soon. I wish I had some suggestions to help, but I'm not in the healthcare field.

I hope you enjoy it here :) OKC can be a fun place, and there is a lot to do, especially when the weather is so nice. You definitely picked a good time of year to move in!

Hi my name is Mike (okiepenn) I live in the Phila. area for the past 10 yrs. But Im okie at heart I come home to visit once a yr and enjoy going downtown okc, what a beautiful place. my hoppies are gardening and reading, im 45 and I work in the hotel industry.

Welcome everyone. Enjoy all the information, There will be plenty

This is such a great site. I am new to the board and this is my first post. My name is Kellie and I live in Orlando, Florida. My family is strongly considering a move to the OKC area this spring. I am using your board to find out everything I can about schools, neighborhoods, etc. So far, Edmond is our first choice, but I want to make sure I check out EVERYTHING before we buy our house there. I love your city and I can't wait to get the heck out of Florida!

Hi, presently live in Mustang, and really enjoy it here. Moved here from San Diego in 2003, and retired from the Navy, decided to stay here.
Really happy that the 152 / I-44 construction is complete!! :kicking:

Hi I cj married mom of 2 and I am basicly boring

hi I am Cj

I am not familuar with talk rooms on-line so it might take a while

Hi I am born and raised okie I work in sales and have kids and grand kids.

Hello OKCTALK. Glad to be part of it all. I'm an OKC born and raised with a few years spent roaming the earth, but glad to be back in OKC. Looking forward to pitching on discussions regarding the redevelopment happening downtown.

My name is Mike. I'm 28 and currently living in Moore with my fiancee. I've been lurking in the forums for several months now, and I've really enjoyed keeping up with this site to stay up on the happenings in the metro area. I hope I can make a worthwhile contribution to the forum.

My name is John, moved to OKC 11 years ago after finishing 20 years in the US Navy. Originally from Memphis, TN. Too much emotional baggage (did my generation coin that term?) to go back, OKC close enough to visit my mother 2-3 times a year. Love my wife, both step-daughters, all 5 grandkids, and the dog. Have mixed emotions about the barn cat. Active in my church both as a greeter and head of the motorcycle ministry. Own three motorcycles, with plans (and wifes blessing) for # 4 as soon as the truck is paid off. Work in Industrial Maintenance near Will Rogers Airport. Live in an unincorporated pocket of the county near Forest Park, a real life Eddie Albert (Green Acres). Appreciate intelligent discussion on any topic.Living north,working south, and going to church in Edmond, ALL have there pluses and minuses.

Hi lets talk about the casinos in okc and the surrounding area they are ridicuolust.The state thought the lottery would be the cause of crime and bakruptcy I think the casinos are far worst then lottery i wish the casino crap in Oklahoma would never been allowed its distroying my life.:fightin:fighting2 g2

How are casinos destroying your life?

Same question as Easy180 - How are casinos destoying your life? I could speculate on many ways but choose not too.
That said, I am anti-casino based not only on my religious beliefs, but because of the damage caused by gambling I saw as a child. My father helped his friend run an illegal gambling hall, and I still remeber him laughing about a man gambling away his family grocery money.

How about starting a thread about it instead of screwing up the introductions thread?

Hi, my name is Mandy. I'm 27 and I currently live in Paris, TX. I'm moving to OKC w/my best friend, who just got a new job up there. I wish we could just move already! I'm so tired of waiting! His new job is building a new office there, but it won't be finished until December. I'm just going because :ou

I'll probably be asking a lot of questions. I hope that doesn't annoy anyone...I've done searches to find certain things, but they're hard to find and it's more about people's opinions of certain places anyway. I need to find some new favorite places! It doesn't have a lot of the things I want, like a Whole Foods market! At least here, Dallas has everything and it's only a two-hour drive away. I'm really nervous about moving there now, but I've heard really nice things about it by people I know that have been there. It's so exciting moving somewhere new!

If any women want to send me a message with your favorite salons and spas, I'd appreciate it. :) Or men, I guess. Who does the best nails? The best hair? Which spa has the most unique menu? (I love trying new things.) Where is the best mall? I'm so excited to have a mall near me - that is one good thing about OKC. :)

What are some really good restaurants? (I'm a vegetarian, but I'm not afraid to special order everything vegetarian-friendly if it's not a vegetarian dish/restaurant!) Is there a good farmer's market and/or natural foods store? Who is a really good veterinarian? Are there any great pet specialty stores in the area? Where do you go to get your super-premium cat foods like Merrik, Wellness, Felidae, Innova, California Natural, Natural Balance, etc.?

Sigh... so many new things to find out! It's both exhausting and exciting!! :)

Oh, and what is this smiley? :boff:

Just wanted to say hi ,, Im happy to be moving back to Oklahoma

Howdy new comers .. Welcome to OKC talk..

What a walk down memory lane! I remember when I first moved to OK and read these introductions.. this was even before joining OKCTalk ..

How long have you been here Karried?? where did you move from. I am originally an Okie.. Born and raised.. Rebeled a little and moved away, but this is home and this is where I will stay til I guess my daughter goes away.

I moved to OK from Northern California nearly 4 years ago ... time has flown by..

Looking back on these posts, I wish some of our original posters would, well .. post, more often.

Hello all! I live in Norman, and i'm an interior design student doing my capstone project on the Osler Building in the MidTown district and found this site Googling information for my research.

just to fill you in, for our capstone projects we are to "renovate" (but not REALLY) a building at least 30,000 sq.ft. and make it a mixed use occupancy (3 different types). I'm planning on doing either condos or a hotel, with a restaurant/bar on the top floor, and, well, i'm not really sure what else... :)

i've read a lot of the forums about MidTown, and would love to talk to anyone who lives in/near the area!

Hey everyone. I just moved downtown (Deep Deuce) after graduating from OU with a computer engineeirng degree to take a job as an analyst at a private equity firm (Virgo Capital) here in town. I was born and raised in Tulsa, so I know the state pretty well, and I'm looking forward to getting to know OKC too.

Welcome everyone who has introduced themselves lately!

Thanks for joining the board - looking forward to your input and posts.

Hi all, my name's Cyndie and I live in Midwest City.

I was born right here at Tinker and have lived most of my life in MWC. I did live in CA and Arizona for a few years but they were nothing like home.

I just heard about this board and thought I'd try it. Looking forward to meeting other people.:tiphat:

Cyndie

Wasp, I go by Wally... :tiphat:

I heard about this board as well and really got nowhere else to post so I’m here... I really don't know that much about OKC because I'm from Tulsa but can learn some...

I just attend school in Tulsa and live in DT... Oklahoma really shocked me when I got here... Love the state but the drivers suck...

Hi there, Rage 2.0.

Howdy all the new members of OKCTalk. Feel free to jump in our not !!! We are glad you found the site and hope you enjoy it as much as we do (sometimes) LOL just kidding...

Congrats I suppose.

Hi everyone! My name is Pam and I live in Moore. I moved back to OKlahoma in 2000 from a brief life in Modesto, CA. I originally was born and lived in Bartlesville.
I work in the lighting industry on the accounting end of things. I have 2 dogs, a cocker spaniel and a labradoodle.
I enjoy running, reading and Oklahoma. I have taken a great interest in OKC and the rest of the state since moving back. The history of Oklahoma is fascinating! I am proud to have been born here. I enjoy reading and working out and running in the local 5K races.
I am an active member of an awesome church.

Hello,

My name is Sada and I found this board by doing a search for Lisa Mirick. I wanted to know what happened to her. I'm early 50s and work at OU and live in Norman.

When I came to this thread the first thing I read was how casinos are destroying my life and was very surprised since I have been feeling the same way.

Well I suppose thank you Spartan...

Anyways welcome to you MSproudSooner.. Glad you could join us

Good evening. This is my first post.

I live in The Village. I'm 30, married, with no kids. As my screen name indicates, my favorite hobby is playing drums. I have a set in my garage where I play mostly 60's and 70's rock along with my CD player. After 3 years, I'm yet to hear any complaints from the neighbors (knock on wood).

I found OKCTalk while searching for info on the Fuddrucker's they were building on the south side. I was very disappointed to hear that it fell through. Oh, well. I guess I'll have to try Irma's Burger Shack (suggested by someone on this forum).

If you are knocking on wood that would suggest a tribal style drum as opposed to the faux-animal skin drumheads everyone else used for 60's/70's rock.
Hope you enjoy the forums. Take a good look around! Don't be a one post and out like so many are. :welcome5:

Welcome to OKCTalk. There are always great discussions going on, so jump right in.

Okay here's my first post....

My name is Linze---Lindsey for short. Im a thirty-something single gal with no kids. I live in the oklahoma city/moore area. I came across this site by pure luck while looking for information on the new walmart project on SW 104 and May Avenue. I just love this place and all that it has offer. I also love the layout and how easy it is to use. Again name is Linze and thanks for letting me be apart of this great group.

Cheers!
Linze

Of course I jumped the gun and have another post titled True Newbie that explains some of my dilemma.

My name is CJ. I'm NOT married and prolly won't walk that aisle. I'm from a small town in central Missouri, don't worry I didn't really bring any particular sports team love with me so I can start anew. I have a chihuahua that's eleven years old... I am 24---although just by looking at me you'd think I was still in high school. I went to Emporia State and received my BS in Psychology in 2005. Hoping to go back to school to get a Masters---eventually. I moved to Edmond, nice place.

I don't have any friends here but hope things will change. I am very much a people person and spending these past few weeks in my apartment has about driven me insane. Back home I was very lively in the local music scene and love a good horror flick. I like beer. I love NIN. I'm in driving withdrawal since I used to have to drive an hour or two to the city to see friends and have a good time.

I know my friends back home miss me since I have an odd humor and they keep telling me that they miss me.

I will prolly spend St. Patty's watching lousy tv, sittin on my futon. Never thought I'd have to admit that. I'm just not comfortable venturing out on my own EVEN though I used to wander around the worst parts of KC by myself. Knowing my friends and family are 7 hours away doesn't help.

Hey life will be better now that I'm out of my dead end job and don't live with family members anymore.... right? Of course! Time to dig out that list of things to do "someday" and see if I can do any of them.

Skateboard down a street without falling off of the board.
Learn how to play tennis.
Stay awake during a baseball game. (perhaps I blame the Royals?)
Finish my batmobile.
Paint a mural.
Find a job in my field.
Get a tan. (I had sun-poisoning once.... long story)

So they're not in order, my bad. Yes, in Missouri we still use very bad slang.

Ya'll seem real friendly. Hopefully I'm welcomed with open arms. Actually a lil smiley face duder would be quite nice.

Thanks for allowing me thusfar :yourock:

Hello, My name is Cynthia and I am just moving back to OKC from Boise. It was a short term thing and I guess I technically didn't move since I kept my house here and came back for a week a month since June of last year. I was born and raised in NW OKC and couldn't wait to get back home. My husband and I are soon to be buying a CPA firm in town and are looking to move it within the year. I have a strong interest in the Midtown area and am so excited to see all of the activity in and around the DT area. I love all of the information I get from this site and hope to become a regular poster.

Hi, my name is Crystal and i live in oklahoma city. I am new to this whole msg board thing. So i think its pretty cool. Im 28, single. I luv all music and luv to go to concerts. I also like movies.

Crystal how do you feel about NIN? If they come to the area you can bet I will be there! I'm always up for a fellow concert-goer. Mostly Rock but I also enjoy other venues.

Welcome Welcome!

Hi,

I found this board and thought it would be a good way to learn about things to do/places to go here in OKC. I was born/raised here, left for awhile, came back a few years ago. I'm still amazed at all the changes from the first time I lived here (Bricktown has really grown up! growth in Norman and Edmond, etc.).

I look forward to getting to know everyone.

-M.

It's really great to see all of the new members. I haven't been on here for more than two months and membership has really grown since then. I'm glad to be part of such an active community. Welcome everyone.
