    Re: Proper punishment for looters/vandals?

    But isn't your question about punishment? If looters are caught, they will face charges and punishment. It just sounds like you, like many people online are busy concocting torture porn for looters,...

    Re: The Smoking Boar

    Despite the multiple 'meh' reviews on this thread, the wife and I decided to try this place last night.

    Re: Oklahoma teacher pay ranking jump

    I have a co-worker who strongly sings the praises of Epic Charter schools. They're very well off and live in a good school district, but chose Epic because of the teacher interaction and flexibility....

    Re: Building the aquarium through crowdfunding?

    While your optimism is appreciated, there are unfortunately several flaws to your comparison. First of all, you are limited to the Oklahoma City area population for all of your funding. Dallas and...

    Re: Lip Smackers

    That's a great show, major compliment if Michael Symon is giving it the rubber stamp. It's about time OKC got back on Food Network's map. They have some catching up to do.

    I have zero experience with Costco, but from what I can tell on this thread, Kirklands is the main reason to check it out. Pete was right when he said Member's Mark products are very hit-and-miss.
