Give me more info about the Tulsa area, please?

Yel, If you hate a city that much it is time to move. Sometimes it is hard to do so though. I have lived a few places that I had hated.

Have you ever noticed the one thing that most of these "negative nellies" have in common? They all have about 2 or 3 posts and a short history on this forum. It makes me believe that they are all the same person, just registered under a different name. You know this is a free country, and if you dislike an area you are free to move? Or, you can do positive things to enhance your community? Judging by your posts Imagasser, I believe that no matter where you end up, you will be unhappy.

I have heard the the comment that OK has more miles of shoreline. I just hope they're not including the kajillions of farm ponds! And I am NOT knocking briansgi's post, nor the state. Its just hard to believe. Around here (south central OK) every property in the rural area over 25 acres or so has a farm pond. We have one and we don't even run cattle on our land. Just wondering.

As far as summer activities for the kids, I was going to say we usually let the kids turn on the garden hose and spray each other but that would be too "okie" for an outsider to read! We never had water parks when I was a kid. The city pool was good enough! But you know how times change... (as I sit in my rocking chair, pants pulled way up high)

Those old farm ponds were our water parks redbird. That, and the garden hose. One time I think we got hold of a slip 'n slide, that was a lot of fun. I had so much fun when I was a kid growing up in Oklahoma.

Our water park was Fort Cobb Lake. About 4 or 5 families would camp out at Fort Cobb for a weekend and we would have the time of our lives with bar-b-q and ice cold watermelon. I agree synops, hard to believe how much fun we had as kids with so little.

If you have a kid in Oklahoma, do him the biggest favor you can, move out to the country and give him a .22, a fishing pole and a good huntin dog, preferably a mutt.
