I don’t think I realized you were in OK. I grew up in colorado, and I used to have nightmares over the Tornadoes (took years to stop, even after moving to VT)… do you have that, living there?
I have lived in Oklahoma for 40+ years and I have never been through a tornado. I mean, I’ve never had to take cover from a nearby tornado – I think I’m an anomaly. I sometimes have dreams that I look out the window and a HUGE HONKING TORNADO is in my back yard, or coming down the street, but no one else seems to be concerned. I freak out a little bit, then I wake up. That’s always fun.
I’m from Arizona. When I was 15 and traveled with my mom’s band to Holland, some Dutch teens asked me if I had my own horse. LOL We sort of did — my dad’s ’65 Mustang.
My mom had a Dixieland Jazz band and sang old jazz songs from the late ’30’s and ’40’s. My dad bought the car when I was born and eventually gave it to me. I was broken-hearted when Danny and I sold it to pay bills after the terrorist attacks of 9-11. The airline industry (Danny’s job) was hit hard. In a way, it was a relief to sell it because it was a money pit, and we were able to get out of debt. I LOVED that car (it was also a convertible).
Oh — I don’t know about my “cool” level. I was different, though. I got along with everyone, but didn’t fit in anywhere in particular. I was just there.

That IS funny! When I lived in Texas in tornado alley I thought it was funny that the people there were so paranoid of earthquakes.
Haha!! I’ve heard of people from the coast being afraid of tornadoes!!
I laughed at the “where foreigners think I live”… because … well, I am foreign .. and that was pretty much my picture😀
