Is Anybody Out There?

[Red Arrow]

It's been quiet here for several days.  Everyone taking a break?

It's been very slow around here

Forums in general are dying. No one goes to individual sites anymore - they just check social media. Still, OKCTalk shows how it can be done. It takes a lot of effort though. It seems TulsaNow has been kind of just floating adrift for years now. The original crew that spurred this place to life are presumably long gone.

I don't do social media, too much invasion of privacy.  Might have something to do with being a Baby Boomer.  I don't miss some of the nastiness of the political talk but I do miss the more civilized stuff.  I belong to a cast iron (cookware) forum that is still active.  Maybe it's still active because of its specific subject.

I got here (on this forum) around 2008.  Many of those early folks are gone but the new generation has some good thoughts to discuss.  I hope that as the election nears, we can all keep things civilized.

I'm still active in a forum that is very active but it is a specific forum for Mazda Miatas and it has been since the 90's. It's moderated quite fairly and has a large number of members and a good variety of topics.

I've been here for some time although I did have a blow up moment where I just got bent. I look in frequently since Tulsa is my birthplace and I still have ties to family and friends. My best friend who lives here in Phoenix I met in 1982 in Tulsa and we both tend to follow things there, he moved from the area in 1987 and I moved in 1998.

As for the rest of social media, I steer clear of most all of it, I read multiple news sites, but I'm not on X, Instagram, TikTok, Truth Social, or any of the others, just too much garbage. I haven't been on Facebook in two years, just some events left a bad taste.

Nope.  Nobody here.

I would be if the Admin hadn't kicked me out of the group for some reason.   Now have to jump thru about 34.76 hoops to get logged on these days. 

I have been working with some estate medical bills though that have provided a tremendous insight into just how messed up our medical system is with Republicontins blocking meaningful change.  Final two years of final illness bills totaling just under $300,000.   With a remaining balance of just under $4,000.   Guess what they are doing?  Going to court to get that final drop of blood!   Of course!
