I had a rosy boa push off his lid and escape...gone for months, and turned up inside the wall when I was putting in a new front door. Also, 2 summers ago, my youngest, John, left the lid loose on a California kingsnake. He was gone all summer. In September john comes running in saying there...

It has been a rough couple of days in this area. With small towns, everyone knows everyone else, and the destruction affects everyone. At work, we have been helping our coworkers with cleanup and donations of cash, food, and clothes. I must admit, I was kinda surprised to see us on the CBS...

Hey all. The tornado did a lot of damage, and there was lots of folks injured, 8 killed. I thank God all my coworkers made it through. Most of the people I work with live in Lone Grove. We are gathering clothes and dry goods to donate tomorrow. The roads are somewhat cleared and my wife...

Well, as of right now, 1 dead, another death unconfirmed, 15+ injured. Injured being brought in by neighbors in pickups and ATV's. So sad...but glad that neighbors are there for each other. Ardmore and Lone Grove are so close, and everyone knows everyone else around here. My heart goes out...

According to the news, strait line winds of 60 mph(58 here in Ardmore a while ago. The storms have moved from our area, but close communities still in the path(Madill, Durant, Gainesville, Sherman/Denison area). Ardmore is out of the watch though thank the Lord. OM, saw some footage of...

On the news a minute ago, they said some are hurt, some trapped in homes. The town is alive with sirens on the way to help. A mobile home park was demolished, a UPS distribution center is gone, a new church destroyed. All traffic is stopped to LG. There is an upper end housing edition on...

Thanks for the checkup OM. Lone Grove got hit pretty hard, its about 8 miles west of here. We saw the tornado on the horizon in lightening flashes. The reports keep coming in of a lot of damge to LG, so everyone say a prayer those in need.

The tornado hit Lone Grove, about 5-8 miles west. We could see the tornado on the horizon in lightening flashes! Its come a good thunderstorm here in Ardmore now. Gotta love Okie weather, really a sight to see :).

We got some rain Sunday night, and a few drops today. As of right now the clouds are stacking up, but my guess is it will move off to the east leaving us here with little. A disappointment, but kinda the norm in Ardmore.

We are under a watch to the south of you as well(Ardmore). Supposed to be interesting weather tonight.

We rent a house in town right now. Where I grew up was Choctaw land; not an official rez, but same situation, Indian homes and such. My wife grew up in similiar circumstances in the Seminole area. Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole are all kinda sister tribes(at least around here)...

Welcome! Sounds like ya'll got it going in the right direction.

Yeah, we go to an Indian church here as well. However, from time to time we visit a medicine man for various things also(house cleansing, purification). We teach our kids both the Christian path, but also native ways...I don't want them to lose that. A lot of the old ways fall in perfectly...

shareneh My wife is Chickasaw/Seminole/Creek/Choctaw. I/m part Chickasaw. The kids dance a lot of powows here in OK, and are invited to perform at a lot of social functions, schools, etc. They dance Chickasaw traditional and stomp dance, and a couple of them want to branch out into the...

thanks for the encouragement ya'll. I really enjoy the input, ideas and advice from everyone here(the family enjoys it also ). The jerky is great, got about 3lbs made up so far. I will post pics of the chicks soon, promise. shareneh, which rez you from? Do ya'll do the powwow circuit...

We got a dehydrator last night, and our first batch of beef jerky is now in process!! I've made jerky before, but its been about 10 years. Kids are really excited, and tomorrow or Tuesday we will try apple chips when the jerky is done. We also started a bunch of seeds in one of those...

I try to help when I can. I gave my supervisor some canned pears this week, and my work buddy Dustin I try to help when ever I can. He's a single dad of 3, just bought an awesome fixer upper 4 bedroom on 5 acres. He came by yesterday and I hooked him up with some hamburger, hams, and some...

He should go sometime. Here in OK I hunt duck, geese, quail, turkey, pheasant. Lots of folks hunt dove, woodcock, and sandhill crane(bet that would taste awful though lol).

Yay!!! Got me a shotgun for cheap today. A Mossberg 500 pump action for $140! I had sold my other shotgun a couple of years ago, and was missing duck and varmit hunting, and happened onto this sweet deal. Then at a Walls store, found a whole bunch of Cabelas camo's on sale for 1/2 off. Got...
