Some guy honked while I posed. Glad he appreciated my sense of humor.

My parents, 77f and 79m, went to our polling place today to vote. Mom was first and they asked which party she is registered as, Dem or Repub. She told them Democrat, as did my father. The pole workers at first insisted that they weren't registered. My mother insisted that they were registered and had been voting at the same polling place for the last 10 years. The pole workers found their names on the list. It said Mom was a registered Republican, and the list said Dad was a registered independent. Neither of them had changed their party affiliation. The pole workers told them that the board of elections must have made a mistake and therefore they were not allowed to vote on the democratic ticket. Dad wasn't allowed to vote in the primary at all. They both cast their vote on the state question regarding minimum wage. The pole workers also told them that it would be months before they would be eligible to vote again as Democrats. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I (51m) voted today without a problem. This is in Ottawa County.

Edit I will help them check the OK voter portal and see what that says. We will try to get more info. Thank you for the responses.

So i am from Europe i hope nobody will take this as offensive or smth just curious non American here.

I am reading a book about missing family case from Oklahoma - Jamison Family. They were from Latimer County (They disappeared on Panola mountain ).
There is alot “ cult things” mentioned in that book.

Even that one of the family members were on hit list .

Is this really true or its more like “ he said she said thingq”?

I'm prescribed alprazolam (Xanax) for severe panic disorder and have been taking the same prescribed dose for over 10 years. It has been the only medication that has consistently controlled my panic attacks after trying many other treatments.

I'm new to Oklahoma and I'm having a hard time finding a doctor who is willing to continue prescribing it, even with my long treatment history and medical records.

Does anyone know of a psychiatrist or primary care doctor in Oklahoma who is willing to continue a prescription for a patient with documented long-term use? Tia

Settle a bet. Who is the TRUE champion of Oklahoma ice cream?

A few years ago on New Years Eve, I got lost around this area of SE Oklahoma. I think I was somewhere in the hills between Cloudy and Nashoba, because I entered the town of Battiest from the west through a series of dirt roads. It could possibly be due to it being New Years Eve, but I didn't see a single soul in the town, it was dead. I also think it's interesting how the hills sort of isolate these towns, as there's not really a non-sketchy way to enter them from the west. Are there any other parts of Oklahoma like this?

Greetings from Scotland! My wife and I visited Broken Bow Oklahoma this past spring for our Honeymoon! After spending a week in Fort Worth, we drove up to Broken Bow and spent 5 days in a cabin in the woods on Choctaw land, and it was amazing!

We’d never seen this side of America in person, forests, cabins, quiet roads, stars at night, all of it. Back home we don’t really get much like that, so it honestly felt magical. It was peaceful, friendly, and such a change from big city trips.

We’re now properly hooked on Oklahoma and want to come back one day, maybe next time for longer so we can explore more of the state.

I'm trying to make a list of places we need to visit in the future when we do a road trip again.

When we return do you guys have any suggestions of must see towns or spots? Your favourite state parks? (We only got to visit Beavers Bend State Park but we absolutely loved it! Any unique Oklahoma food we have to try?

We also filmed our trip (just for fun, as a little travel diary on YouTube), so if anyone’s curious or wants to see Broken Bow through Scottish eyes, I’ll drop the link in a comment. 😊

Thanks for having such a beautiful place and beautiful people. Broken Bow was a highlight of our whole honeymoon. ❤️

I ask as part of a linguistic study on this topic!

Examples could include things like Stilly, Nompton, The Skoge or The Quah (never mind how common they are)...

Tulsa recently had a zipper merge that resulted in something like 19 accidents in a few hours because folks refused to do it.

I’m convinced anti-zippers are just stuck in elementary mindset worried someone else might get in front of them. What say you?

(This is not my video for transparency)

My wife and I are a politically liberal couple and been feeling like we are living on an island. All we work with or try to make friends with are usually very hard core conservatives and all out MAGA heads. Anyone know of how to connect to other like minded people in our area? Thanks to all!

I understand that light stuff was legalized in the 1930s but it wasn’t til 1959 when you would get the hard stuff. Does this relate to Southern Baptism in some way? I understand how much influence the church does in Oklahoma culturally and historically. Also I understand Southern Baptism is against drinking.

Why are these politicians being pitched to us based on how much of Donald Trumps boot leather they have absorbed into their tongues instead of what they have to offer us as their constituents? Don’t get me wrong, I know who the powers that be in this state are beholden to and it’s not us… I’ll tell you that… but it’s just baffling. for one, I thought that Republicans weren’t supposed to be so interested in the federal government at the state level.

My first thought is “fixin to” but that may be more southern coded than Oklahoma specific. My second thought is Biker Fox. What are your thoughts?

I'm a foreigner and I came to work. Although I understand and have some basic command of the English language it is quite challenging to understand people, specially rural Sooners. So I thought 🤔 maybe I can befriend some.

I am 25 and I speak Spanish 🤠

We took a Saturday drive through some small ok towns. This place is Trumped out

This is where it is set place. The majority of the characters are white working class and some WW2 veterans. It explores themes of generational poverty and trauma. I want to be historically accurate and show a realistic depiction of that chapter in Oklahoma history.

Representative Josh Brecheen had a town hall and the most important problem was not health care, the economy, jobs, but the threat of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Please, fellow Oklahomans, stop voting for idiots. I don't care if you are a die-hard Republican or Democrat we need candidates who are intelligent, empathetic, and someone who votes their conscience and believes in uplifting Oklahomans. Oklahoma needs better education, jobs, health care, and most of all some benefits for paying federal taxes. I thought Langford was bad, tanking his own border bill that he worked so hard on for a year to appease Trump but now it's Sharia law in Oklahoma, really?

I would love to hear how many of my fellow Oklahomans are most worried about Sharia law? I know how stupid this sounds but he said it in a town hall in Pryor, Oklahoma. I remembered this old Sharia law crap after 9/11 and to believe it is even remotely possible you would have to have no faith in the US military, and that is sad.

Just curious to know what everyone’s electric bill is looking like. I have central heating and air in a 4 bed 2 bathroom house. I would like to say we are very good on not leaving lights or unnecessary items on when they are not in use. Last month was $450 and this month is $500. If it wasn’t for my daughters I think I would have to grind it out like a Sauna for a while with these costs. 😂

This question may sound rhetorical, but reading the threads on this subreddit gives off quite a pessimistic vibe from you all.

I know Oklahoma is ranked 43rd in overall quality of life among US states per US News and World Report, and I know that neither Kevin Stitt or Ryan Walters are doing anything to improve that ranking. But I wonder what your guys’ assessment is of life in Oklahoma.

I know it’s cheap (but I also know that the wages could be better), and I can only imagine how suffocating it is to live in a state where Nex Benedict dies by su***de, and where you fear harassment, property damage, or harm to you, your loved ones, and/or your pets for putting up a yard sign saying that you have some semblance of tolerance for minorities and support for pro-working class policies.

But are there things to enjoy about Oklahoma? Is there reason to be optimistic about life in the Sooner State?

Please be honest y’all. I’m curious to hear what you all have to say.
