Spitting or the sign? You keep asking questions about OK. It is a big place. That is like 'do people s.... and sleep on the side walks in CA'?

Check into an extended stay, scout out your area, your budget is very low, you need landlord approval to have a room mate. You will either like it, endure it or run.

I have Canadian relatives and I have traveled extensively in Canada. There isn't a single Canadian accent any more than there is a single American one. And while there are similarities, Canada is hardly America Lite. There are extensive cultural differences.

I've HEARD of this in Oklahoma. Never actually seen it anywhere............................ and I've peed in urinals in just about every county in Oklahoma.

Seriously though, If Mississippi is a perfect "10" on your "Redneck scale, Oklahoma is probably a solid "7" trending toward "8".

I am from California and moved to OKC 9 years ago. I'd move back today if I could as this wasn't a good move for us. I'm HOMESICK and miss my family!


Norman or Moore would be a nice community, but those tornadoes seem to like that area. Truthfully, the tornado watches/warnings are scary and you'll need to pay attention to the news. The news stations do an excellent job of reporting...


The weather is bipolar! There is humidity here, but not like the deep south. But it's HOT and you'll love your air conditioner! The wind blows all the time!!! And if you love Mexican food, you'll need to try a lot of places to find one you like as it's more Tex/Mex here....

I really do not understand your posts. Oklahoma is not California. If it is still so horrible for you after nine years why are you still here where you are miserable?

Ask your family to copy after you and move to Oklahoma. Oklahoma doesn't have crazy out of control wildfires to worry about every year. Try to stay out of living in Moore. You never know when it will have another F5 tornado.

It's not illegal to spit tobacco juice in the urinal in OK. Don't $hit in the sink, though. It's a 10 dollar fine.

I'm still here due to prices of homes in California. I was born and raised there and it will always be home; even with the nutty liberals turning the state into a big mess!


You don't need to understand my posts....SMH!!

Nine years of misery in OK for a 3-car garage in the right neighborhood? No, that is something I do not understand.
