Welcome to OKLAHOMA!
Hey all! I noticed that the groups had come around and did a search but there wasn't an Okie group yet. Troy and AuntSusie - since you two appeared pretty often on the Oklahoma Common room topic - I set it up so that you were moderators. Also - Troy - I set up for you to be able to edit the group. I left the group as…

A few NSV's this week!!
1 - A co-worker called me 'skinny b@#$%'. (Keep in mind I am nowhere close to thin as my 2nd NSV will show... but I still liked that!) :laugh: 2 - The doctor and nurse both congratulated me on my loss yesterday and I looked at the BMI chart on the wall... I am only a few pounds away from moving DOWN from SEVERELY OBESE to…

Home of the QUAKENADO!
All my life - I learned and re-learned what to do during a tornado. (Run outside and point!! LOL!) I learned what I thought I needed to know about earthquakes from movies. (Sad, I know.) I thought we still should get in a doorway. WRONG Here is some helpful information. This is an EXTRACT FROM DOUG COPP'S ARTICLE ON 'THE…

Does anyone else suffer from this???
I have to keep my headphones around. Why? Because there is almost constant chomping around me! It's not just an irritant to me. It is worse than nails on a chalkboard. I have to put the headphones on or walk away from my desk. This is even worse in my Monday night class. There is one girl that brings great, healthy food.…

Halloween NSV!!
Happy Halloweenie everyone! :devil: I got a LOVELY NSV gift this morning! I have a favorite skull Halloween shirt that I have worn the last couple of years.

NSV - forget the belt - I've dropped a size or two!

Attempting humor or just all out rude?
So - I just got done donating blood and was sitting there eating my 1 snack that i grabbed (a nature valley oats n honey bar)... she walks over, grabs 2 (nutter butter AND oreos) and then asks me...

Eye contact? Smile? Head down - busy?
I am curious about something. When you are walking / jogging / running, etc. - do you make eye contact as you pass people? If so - do you smile, nod? If no eye contact - why? Is it because you are busy with your workout? I look up - generally make eye contact (if the other person ever looks up :ohwell: ) and then I smile.…

NSV - I need a belt!!
OK - so I have several pairs of pants that I need to hang on to for a bit (because of the hips AND the lack of money for new clothes) but they are getting so loose around the waist that I need a belt!! WOOT!!

Clothing NSV
Yayyyyyyyy!! I purchased a couple of shirts a few years ago that I thought looked ok in the store - but once I got home and tried one on again it looked gross to me so I never wore them.

Amusement Park NSV
I am a thrill seeker. I love to ride rollercoasters and anything else that will flip me and throw me around and drop me and any other crazy things. So - I was very disappointed when I could no longer ride because of my size. (A seatbelt extender came off mid-ride at a state fair, and then I was unable to ride something at…
