My husband, John Donovan, went to Mizzou and majored in Geography!
I think Oklahoma is a Plains State - like Kansas.
(:

Oklahoma is OK. I love that slogan. It's as if they are saying, "Come on over to Oklahoma. We know it sucks here. So if you talk smack about it, we won't blow up your car as punishment like they would in Texas."

As for what I would consider 'The South'...I am kind of weird about that. In my mind, there are only four real Southern states. Then there are three alternates that can sometimes be considered Southern. I think I will post about that soon...stir up a hornet's nest.

However, tomorrow's post will be "Lovingly Lustful Lady Killers." I told the girls how they should act...time to address the boys. :)

Oh man Rae, that post of hers is perfect. Spot on! And hilarious!

She's a hoot.

I have only had my hair past my shoulders once. In third grade. I just cannot stand it.

And I will definitely have to try the 3rd time's a charm thing with completing the task he's supposed to do. I usually use the 3rd time to say, "I'm not nagging but this is the LAST time I will say this..."

Beth-when did he attend? We were there from 1988-1993. How cool :)

Joan- my husband teases me about being an Okie. He says all Oklahomans are Texas wannabes :) He also told me the joke long ago that the reason Texas doesn't fall into the gulf is because Oklahoma sucks. Heh heh.

Rae - John attended a few years before you did - he even played football for Mizzou back when they were in Bowl games in the .. ahem .. 70's.

You know, Beth, I think I only attended one game the whole time we were there. I had grown up in Oklahoma during the '70's- Barry Switzer's heyday so the desire to go watch a losing time never appealed to me :)

I just moved to Oklahoma from Florida because my husband got a job here and is from Oklahoma. Let me tell you this State is dirty full of poverty and just down right ugly. I would take Florida back in a heartbeat. Oklahoma has NOTHING to offer. I can't wait to leave. I am sorry I am here.

Well, Lea, I would wager to say that if you left your family and close friends behind in Florida, then you are probably not going to see any beauty in Oklahoma because you so want to be with whom and with what you know.

Yes. There are some areas of great poverty in Oklahoma. In what part do you live, because that can make a big difference in your opinion of the land and of the people.

Oklahoma sucks big time!! I just want everyone to know this. We live in Texas and are having to pay Oklahoma taxes because the company my husband worked for is based out of Oklahoma, that sucks. We should not have to pay for Ok., Us Texans are smarter than to have a state income tax.I hate Oklahoma, and I am tired of giving them my money. Get a job and make your own.

Hi, Judi. I no longer live in Oklahoma and am sorry you have such bitterness. Perhaps you should take it up with your husband's employer rather than directing your hate toward the citizens of a state and dismissing the entire state because of one thing you dislike or with which you disagree.
