Paden Day Comments

Man I have never been to this thing but once, lived here all my life but just never went. I thought the food was great, those firemen know how to cook, really good meat. Singing was better than I remembered it being the last time I went. Lots of things to do and man a lot more people than I had thought would be there. Hats off to all those involved in making this happen. I know its for our firefighters, and I think they are the best in this county at least, but I think they are doing it for the community more than the community showing up for them. Thanks guys for what you do, and I did not know until today that you all did not get paid a dime, wow that takes commitment. I read a guys shirt one time that said, when your running away the firemen are running in, how true. Had a great time and can't wait until next year.

CONGRATS to the Firemen, and Paden Youth Organization!! What a SUPER job you did this weekend. The inflatables for the children and games provided from the PYO was awesome. I know my little ones had so much more fun this year with the changes. Keep it up.....I LOVE PADEN!

I think the inflatables were provided by Paden FBC.

I hadn't been in years! Was nice seeing people I hadn't seen in years.... Good turn out

Thanks for correcting me, but I KNEW that, if you read closely I never gave the compliment to the PYO for the inflatables, I said that my little ones enjoyed the games they provided....for example egg toss, pass the pretzel, etc. I'm NOT going to get into a 'tit for tat' that the other poll has become. Stay on track about keeping the kids busy, NOT who did what for who.

The 4th of july is coming quick! I hope its a good turn out this year hopefully no dry weather. If we do have dry weather i would hope to see that large piece of land north of paden ( owned by????)before the docks MOWED not only for fire reasons, also for the fleas,ticks,snakes,possums,etc . Its getting a little ridiculous just a wee bit high on the weeds. Isnt there a "keep your land mowed" law in this town? Does this town pass out fines for that or what?~ Mow your field please! thank you...

Hey just wondering for sure what piece of land your talking about, do you mean before the viduct? Also if it is actually in city limits you can take it to city council and ask them to tell the owners to mow it because it is a hazard.

actually im going to cut it for hay. before my family member had it it had trees and a old ran down house on it. they have put a lot into that property. and no paden does not have a city code enforcement, if they did over 3/4 of the lots would be wrote up. How do i know b/c i am a inspector. thanks

Oh and green grass does not burn....

The dead stuff under and IN it can though, especially if there is trash in it too. But, I'd sure love the town to keep it's lawn mowed. We've been a bit negligent with our's but I think with good reason. I'll get to the weedeating ASAP.So please don't bring it back on me. LOL We know our lawn needs work. It's hard with a messed up foot and me running errands and cleaning house with the 4 kids all here. Sorry if it's an eyesore to ya!

I wanted to ask if the Paden Day was as good as I remember?
I didn't get to make it but sure miss coming.

Well, c-mon....c-mon since you are an inspector then you should have known this.(about the field being too high) do we really think we should have a hay field in town? Maybe we should have a city code enforcement for EYE-SORES..bug infested, and rodent infested areas.I would also like to say THANK YOU! For getting at it so quickly after I complained.~ have a good holiday weekend....piratemom

Oh and, are you not trying to sell that property? Wouldn't you want to make it look nice all the time?

piratemom what is considered town and not. one block to the west is where people keep pigs and 200 ft horses are kept. So i guess i could fence it off and put livestock but no hay. Its Paden, maybe you should live in Edmond. OR by the property and put a wal-mart there. I would enjoy a wal-mart.

c- mon man,this is a TOWN. Ok so there is pigs and horses....hmmmmm, but it doesnt seem like they have 5ft of grass. Just get off your a** and mow it more often.~ Also, did you happen to see the THANK YOU i left ya? And no thanks i will stay here in paden. 8 yrs, ago when i first came to this TOWN... It was a little run down. But through the years everyone in this TOWN has pitched in weather it was a neighbors yard, or just simply their own yard, to make this TOWN presentable and clean, and down home. So it seems to me that you might not want to pitch in.~ im sorry for you... Good Day!

oh and green grass does burn ....my friends land (which was green) just caught on fire a few weeks ago, and it burned nearly 5 acres.~ thank you!

Hey, I heard that @ the last counsel meeting it kind of got out of hand. does any one know what all happend? I've been hearing that Brandy Moore really made a fool out of her self that night by mouthing off about Mr. McDaniels.

yes she did make her self look like a fool. but hey, anyone who writes an newspaper article about the Paden news and puts stupid stuff like, who all went to the case pond, isn't very smart any way. get real lady do you really think we care?

and by the way piratemom i have lived here for 44 years,my mother and her mother and so forth!!! you get it.i don't know where you came from and don't really care! but you need to learn some manners!! my husband put in at least 40 hours on a back hoe clearing and cleaning an eye sore that has been there for as long as i or anyone in this town can remenber,i'm all for cleaning up paden! and it needs to start with alot of trashy yards and property around here!!! take you a little drive around town and a good look at it. if you see nothing but tall grass that needs cleaned up i'll say no more!! u might want to watch what you say about people u don't know!!you sound like a busy body who needs to worry about her own buiness!!i don't normally care what people say and do around here,because i mind my own business, but now u have involved me,so watch your mouth!!!!! dana stewart

FYI* piratemom my nephew didn't mow the grass for u or anyone else, only because he needed hay.so don't think your smart ass remarks got it done!i can tell you personally!!!!! that if he didn't want it- my lazy ass!!! as you refered to would still not have mowed it!!!!
