State that has no love for their citiziens - 1/31/2013
I have lived in many states. This is by far the worst state. It lacks modernization such as transportation, insufficient and rough roads, capital building falling apart. The government only cares about children which is a tremedous burden to the taxpayers! The care for those battling cancer, or HIV is totally unheard of hear. The governor beilievs these are preventive. Well, my dear Fallin, so is pregancy, drugs, alcoholism, and yes, cancer, diabetics, and heart disease. Still yet, we give millions to feed the children; but, let those struggling to pay for medications struggle. Oh yes, we take the Federal funding for the Ryan White program and filter into welfare. Why dont you mirror after New Mexico and step into the twenty first century! I hate this state.

Getting settled - tag, driver license, and paying - 2/17/2011
I moved to Langston, Oklahoma from Central Florida in January 2011 and I must say that I love living in Oklahoma. It is a very laid back, non-rat race, easy going atmosphere, yet that can also be a challenge.
1. Driver license
I had to go to Stillwater, Oklahoma to take the vision test, then I had to go to Guthrie, Oklahoma and take the paperwork I received from the Stillwater Drivers License Department to the Guthrie Tag Office. It is a 20 minute drive to Stillwater. I paid cash, because they are not situated to accept a debt or credit card.
2. Next the tag situation was challenging. I tried to pay with a credit card and it was not accepted, but I was able to use my credit card at the McDonald's next door. And I did ensure that my credit card was accepted prior to asking that it be used.
3. Buying groceries is expensive here. And from the information I received from Native Oklahoman's, there is no competition for the food market.

What a shame - 5/3/2008
I've lived in Oklahoma most of my life (air force brat). The people are wonderful here and genuinely caring. But, the state's population is grossly uneducated and the powers that be like it that way. Any economic windfall benefits a very closed 'buddy system'. The roads are absolutely pitiful. I've had 2 wheel alignments done on my car in less than six months. Now the state is vying for the Sonics basketball team. Another economic windfall that will make a few richer and create more, low paying dead end service jobs. We have to be the capital of call centers. These jobs (I worked in one)are low paying and you're treated like a commodity (numbers rule, time on the phone, etc.). I remember having to document and explain why I was away from my desk just to go to the restroom. But I digress. With all the economic potential in the works I see nothing happening for me. I have a college degree and consider myself very well read. I just can't stay here any longer. I want my daughter to know
