[@redbull4fly797]

Agree, but what I don't like about him is that he said a few times that he doesn't remember most of the episodes because he was drunk or had a hangover. If you look how he was acting, you can see a perfection and I really don't believe what he said. To act like that even if you are super talented, you have to be focused, disciplined and work hard be to that good.

Kinda prophetic and eerie in that both the character Chandler and actor Matthew Perry were struggling with inner demons.

@@joemckim1183 As I recall, there were so-called "unassigned" plots of land throughout Oklahoma when it was first made a state. Technically, it was all designated Native American territory, but the U.S. gov't has always been eager to displace natives and/or violate agreements with tribal leaders. The deal they gave new settlers was a lot of free land grants from the government on a first-come first-serve basis. So whoever got there "sooner" got the plots of land. That said, given that I'm drawing from my remembrance of middle school U.S. history I'm sure there's something I'm missing there or something that's just plain not accurate.

There were three ways he could have handled this situation. 1. Tell his wife he got a promotion but it requires a move to Tulsa (I don't know if it's technically a promotion since he technically didn't get a pay raise BUT cost of living in Tulsa is significantly lower than where they lived at the time so even though it was the same pay they could have probably afforded a very nice house with land.) 2. He could have gone to his boss told her that he didn't discuss with his wife before hand then potentially worked his way out of it. But instead he chose option 3. Which was to chicken out at the first sign of anger and push back from both individuals

[@emmak2971]

1 is the worst idea ever. Why would you lie to your freaking spouse about something so important??

[@mouse3872]

@@emmak2971 thing is it's technically not a lie. I mean he IS getting a promotion but it just doesn't come with a pay raise but like I pointed out in the original comment his pay is worth A LOT more in Tulsa than its worth where they lived at the time. Due to the cost of living.

[@angelaportillo6777]

Sooner is part of Oklahoma history. When people first came to Oklahoma, there was a line of people just waiting on the border to move here because it was first come first serve in terms of land. People who crossed the border before they were legally allowed to were called 'sooners' and were shot. 🤣 weird fact I learned when I moved out here in Tulsa

[@angelaportillo6777]

@@QuietlyCurious Its ok, Im originally from Southern California, so compared to that its a lot slower out here. The food isn't great, especially Mexican food. Its all Tex Mex out here. Its hard to find good places to eat. Summers are very humid, lots of bugs. But there are public swimming pools and beautiful lakes out all over the state. And big storms during springtime. But schools are very good, a lot of money is put into education from what I can see. Its a great place to raise kids, its pretty cheap and there's a lot of great homeschooling options and community programs to get involved in. Playground are great to out here. Its very diverse in Tulsa to, I prefer it to OKC, which is from what I've seen, it can be pretty racist down there. If you do plan on moving out here, it better to live in the suburbs outside of Tulsa but still in the county. Places like Jenks, Bixby, or Broken Arrow. They're much better places to live, and the houses are huge and affordable!

[@bobbywrongway6494]

@@QuietlyCurious Oklahoma is 42nd in public education and getting worse. Oklahoma ranks low in really most quality of life metrics, education, health/obesity, divorce. The push by state government is to defund public education and introduce legislation to use tax dollars for private schools, after all a student is a student. Because Oklahoma has comparative high poverty the haves don't want to having any mixing yet still want the state funding. Most of the private schools are based in religion. The weather is so so. Can be and gets extreme several times a year, hot and cold. The wind gets crazy and results in a lot of trash around. It's not even close to paradise. There are some nice burbs but they are getting crowed quickly. The rural towns are poor and getting worse by the day. Edit/ Lots of road rage in the cities and lots of people are packing. Open carry without permits. Everything Florida and Texas does Oklahoma follows and sometimes exceeds. I'd look elsewhere especially if you like spring which is horrible as day after day is completely ruined by high winds.
