"Roll Call" - Introduce yourself

[okcpd]

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

[jamike]

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

[Patrick]

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.

You said "Oklahoma" store. Where in Oklahoma is this to be?

[madison]

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.

[Double Edge]

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!

[Lauri101]

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!

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.

[marteme]

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.

[Redneck Cabbie]

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.

[Karried]

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.
