Are you moving to Tulsa? Just visiting or passing through? Want to know where to live, eat, hang out, have fun, or bury the bodies? This is the place to ask.

This will be a weekly megathread that evolves over time. As members of r/Tulsa make suggestions or answer questions that come up a lot, we may add those items to the body of the post for easy reference. But for right now this is a place to ask any questions you may have about moving to or visiting Tulsa, OK, where our motto is "We're more than just OK, we're living the dream."

Shoutout Shout out to the library!

Post image
310 Upvotes

Yesterday afternoon, I attended a mending class at Maxwell Park Library. I learned a running stitch, back stitch, and hem stitch. Plus, they provided us with instructions and some basic sewing supplies to take home. I usually take my pants to a tailor to get hemmed, but I am feeling pretty confident after the class. I’m looking forward to fixing a shirt and fixing the hem on a pair of pants myself. The instructor did a fantastic job. AND IT WAS FREE.

After that, I went to a FREE 1-hour yoga class at Central Library. They provided the mats, blocks, strap, and bolster for the class. It was chill and stretched out my tight back. Then I checked out a couple of books that would have cost me like $50 otherwise.

(Please note, I did work in libraries for 15 years, so I am a little biased when I say this. Also sorry for yelling when I write this.) LIBRARIES ARE PRETTY FANTASTIC.

General Your tips for staying cool in this heat.

Upvotes

Tried this earlier and it got sucked up, probably by the heat.

Cover your windows with blinds and curtains. I know the aesthetic these days is oh, light so bright and airy. Well ok, but nothing conducts heat and cold like glass. Assume vampire mode.

Draft blockers in front of bottom of front door. yes even in summer.

Keep wet washcloths in ziplocks in freezer. Put on your neck when you come in from heat or whenever.

PSO high rates are from 2-7p.m. weekdays. Use your appliances accordingly. PSO will do energy audit for free, even renters. whether your landlord will comply with recs is another matter.

Do the math as to whether PSO average is for you. When you leave that address for another one, you will pay the difference between what you would have been charged and what avg had you pay. I did this for my mom. When she moved to assisted living, the bill was almost $700 and that was almost 8 years ago.

If you have a bathroom fan that sucks up humidity, turn this on a few mins before you go to bed. It will suck out a lot of hot air. Really nice if bedroom is upstairs.

Dr Bronners peppermint soap in liquid form, not bar. CAVEAT, it will be tingly on the nether regions. Don't be a wuss, it subsides quickly. It also makes you sleep like a bear in hibernation.

Make sure your sheets are cotton.

what are your tips?

I'm 30m and I enjoy watching figure skating. I've taken quite a few lessons but im no professional skater. I visit the WeStreet Ice Center pretty regularly and I've been trying to convince my girlfriend to go with me but I never succeed. Is anyone interested in joining me for public skate? We can talk about figure skating or hockey (i dont know much about hockey though).
one of my favroite shows is Yuri on Ice.

Feel free to comment or send me a message.

Barely used but it turned out to be too small for my needs.

Measures about 70" wide x 18.5" tall by 15.5" deep. Sliding doors. Two holes for cable management.

You must pick up and transport it yourself and it will require 2 people. Particle board construction, weighs about 73 lbs and I am unable to help you with any lifting.

Located near 15th and Peoria.
