Chowchilla Police Report for 2/22/15 thru 2/28/15 is on our website: www.thechatterchowchilla.com Two boys were walking home from Sunday school after hearing a strong preaching on the devil. One said to the other, 'What do you think about all this Satan stuff?' The other boy replied, 'Well, you know how Santa Claus turned out. It's probably just your Dad.'

My grandson was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, "Did you start at 1?” FREE TAX HELP FOR SENIORS!

In my life, I’ve lived, I’ve loved, I’ve lost, Lived hurt, I’ve missed, I’ve trusted, I’ve made mistakes, but most of all, I’ve Learned. Soft hearted people are not foolsthey know what people did to them, but-they forgive again and again because they have beautiful hearts. A husband walks into Victoria 's Secret to purchase a sheer negligee for his wife. He is shown several possibilities that range from $250 to $500 in price -- the more sheer, the higher the price. Naturally, he opts for the most sheer item, pays the $500, and takes it home. He presents it to his wife and asks her to go upstairs, put it on, and model it for him. Upstairs the wife thinks, 'I have an idea. It's so sheer that it might as well be nothing. I won't put it on, but I'll do the modeling naked, return it tomorrow, and keep the $500 refund for myself.' She appears naked on the balcony and strikes a pose. The husband says, 'Good Grief! You'd think for $500, they'd at least iron it!' Funeral on Thursday 2pm.Closed coffin. Believe it or not, Panama Canal is not the only water line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. There is a creek that divides the continental United States and connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans! It’s in Wyoming—deep in the Teton Wilderness Area of the Bridger-Teton National Forest—in which a creek splits in two. Commonly called “Parting of the Waters”, the site of Two Ocean Pass on the Great Divide actually divides North America in two parts by a single water line that—no matter how hard you try not to—you will have to cross to go from North to South and vice versa. To the East, the creek flows "3,488 miles to the Atlantic Ocean via Atlantic Creek and the Yellowstone, Missouri and Mississippi Rivers." To the West, it flows "1,353 miles to the Pacific Ocean via Pacific Creek and the Snake and Columbia Rivers. Don’t believe us? Just Google: Parting of the Waters! CONGRATULATIONS to our band students & director! They were chosen to march in the Disneyland Parade on March 28!!! After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard the three-yearold say with a trembling voice, "Who was THAT?" My Grandparents are funny. When they bend over, you hear gas leaks and they blame their dog.

I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last, she headed for the door, saying, "Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these colors yourself!"
