I'm wondering if anyone has personal experience with both OG&E and Edmond Electric within the last few years.

I've only lived in Oklahoma for a year, currently in OKC with OG&E and love the low rates compared to where I used to live.

I'm heavily considering moving to Edmond, and the complex I'm looking at uses Edmond Electric.

I've only heard in passing when I first started going out to Edmond that Edmond Electric has extremely high rates and "is a mess".

The past year for a one bedroom apartment (roughly 700sq ft), my summer bills have averaged $50/mo and winter bills around $100-$150 at the highest.

Does anyone have experiences with Edmond Electric they can share for apartment living, both good and bad?

Virtually no experience in hair salons, I'm sorry if these sound like dumb questions.

​

I'm getting caramel highlights for the first time and researched not to wash my hair for a couple days beforehand.

​

I have to use hair gel on my hair every morning because of my hair for work and just wondering about the process because of that.

​

For highlights, do they wash hair before they start applying the color or do they do the color first?

​

I'm just worried if they do the color first, the hair gel will get in the way or the color won't come out right or it'll be hard for the stylist to do the color right because of the gel.

​

If they wash hair first, wouldn't it be okay for me to was my hair at home first to get out the product?

I need a space to vent about what I saw, I just need to get this out.

I'm still extremely shaken by what I saw, apologies for errors, I'm slightly shaking typing this and my mind is still a wreck I almost saw someone get killed. This was around 5-5:30pm.

Driving on Memorial Rd heading towards NW OKC from the OCU area, where that University is. I can't remember exactly what intersection, I couldn't calm myself down to even think to look, but it was somewhere around Santa Fe Ave, there might've been a gas station on my left but not positive. I'm newish here so not too familiar with streets in the area and I'm looking at a map.

I had pulled up to an intersection at a red light, maybe 4 cars from the red light. I was in the left lane, right next to the left-turn lane that was on my left.

I watched the left turn lane light go from yellow to red and during that time, I heard a very loud vehicle (I can only describe like a race car) sounding like it was near me and instantly thought someone was going to run that light, like I see all the time here. All directions of that intersection were stopped on red except for the 2 turn lanes before this.

Just as that light turned red, a grey car zoomed right next to me, the turn light already fully on red, and he tried to make that turn.

Just as soon as he tried to turn, a man appeared in my view on the crosswalk running and he literally JUMPED forward out of the car's way that was running the red light and then he kept running to the other side of the crosswalk. The car slammed on his breaks and screeched their tires but didn't stop at all when he saw the guy but just sped back up and sped off.

I kid you not and I am not exaggerating, there was probably the distance of a single step between him and that car after he jumped. If he didn't jump, he might not still be here. That car was going fast.

I've seen a lot of comments and posts about red light drivers since I moved here and I see them pretty much constantly here, but I've never ever been to or lived somewhere where it's this much. 49 states I've driven and have never seen anything even close to the amount here.

Thank you to anyone who read this
