"Roll Call" - Introduce yourself

[Easy180]

How are casinos destroying your life?

[NE Oasis]

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.

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 g2

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

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:

Don't believe Hott Cutz? Next you'll something like don't believe Mike Morgan or Gary England!. She is one of the few voices of sanity and rational thought on this forum.

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.

[Karried]

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.

Wasp, I go by Wally...

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...

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.

[Deni]

Well I suppose thank you Spartan...

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