After washing your hands if you flick your wet fingers into the sink 13 times you will only need one paper towel to totally dry your hands no matter how flimsy the paper.
The meme game was strong on social media. There were so many things to poke fun at over the past year.
In a protracted election is one able to live through it by stress eating, chain smoking and drink lots of wine? Yes. Allegedly.
How easy it is to get used to wearing a mask. Remember how silly we all felt wearing them at first? Then you go through a phase of remembering you don’t have your mask on as you’re entering a store and having to turn around and go back to the car to get it. The walk of shame. And then it all became such a part of your day-to-day life that you stopped forgetting.
Once I had to make two quick stops while I was out. I made the first stop and then when I got to the second stop I was looking all over my car for my mask. I couldn’t find it anywhere and I had just had it on. I finally found it. It was on my face.
When you lose a dog sometimes God sends another dog and a friendly cat to take her place. It was like magic. They both just showed up at the perfect time.
I love my job. I wish I’d have moved back to Rockdale a long time ago.
Just because you are able to buy things from Amazon during a pandemic doesn’t mean you should. I accidentally bought five pounds of olives.
No amount of blatant, in-your-face evidence will ever convince an idiot of anything.
The IRS is the biggest tax and time wasting bureaucracy in the history of bureaucracies. And it needs to be totally dismantled and replaced with some sort of normalcy.
Debra Neal is the smartest, nicest and most helpful person I know. I have needed to find out the names of students in photos hundreds of times and she knows everyone’s name right off the top of her pretty head. I haven’t stumped her once. I hope the RISD knows what a gem they have in her.
I would rather have 100-degree weather than anything under 60 degrees any time. I already knew that one but being here over the last year without Houston’s humidity solidified it. I am no good at winter.
It’s very easy to gain 30 pounds during a pandemic. Way too easy.
The people we’ve elected to the US Congress don’t care anything about the peo ple who put them there. They are all bought and sold by the highest bidder. We all knew this, of course, but it was on full display in 2020. But how do we fix it? Term limits always sound good but would it really do anything in the long run. The people with money will still be around to buy whoever is voted into of fi c e .
My mother turns out to be the pickiest person about food I’ve ever met and I had no idea about this until the past year of living under the same roof with her. It makes sense why I didn’t know because she was always the person who planned all of the meals at our get-togethers. As time went on she would plan our meals with Noelia, Kathy and me but she always had the last word. I’ve started a list on my computer titled “Things Mom Won’t Eat” and it is rather lengthy.
Mean people are usually the loudest, but we are surrounded by lots of nice people. They are just quieter. All the outpouring of love and money and kindness over this Christmas season just makes your heart feel good, and I’m so glad I work in an industry that supports and reports on the deeds of these kind-hearted folk.
Our team of five can still put out a great paper every week even without Mike Brown. And trust me I had my serious doubts. And he is enjoying his well-earned retirement. Everybody’s happy.
I hope 2021 bring you everything you’re hoping for. kyle@rockdalereporter.com
