The Olympic summer games in Paris are less three weeks away and with all that's going on this might be the break we all need before we head into the fall election..."The Games" --we will see triumphs, setbacks, and of course all those back stories that are way too long.....My favorite moment despite all the great stories of the athletes is seeing the America flag hoisted and hearing the Star-spangled Banner played... It always brings a huge pride that is indescribable and just a damn good feeling...GO TEAM USA!!🥲
Would love to hear your favorite moment from the Olympic games... Past, present, future...Share on!!!
We are so grateful to have found The Gutter and to be part of a place where we can meet wonderful people and feel a real sense of community. We truly have so much to be thankful for, and today we love to celebrate that together.
Please share your Thanksgiving moments with us—what you’re thankful for, what made you smile, or the simple joys that made today special.
As for me, I’m thankful that my family is healthy and happy, that the kids have their homes and their jobs, and that I can pause during the day to notice something in nature I don’t see every day…..flock of starlings murmuring around our refinery.
Those little moments mean everything.
Happy Thanksgiving from my heart to yours.

A young man decided it was time to come out to his family.
He was worried most about his grandmother, so he approached her in the kitchen.
"Grandma, I, uh, have to tell you something."
"Yes, sweety?"
"I, uh, I'm gay."
"Gay?" His heart stopped. "Does that mean you put men's things in your mouth?"
"Grandma!!!!"
"Well??"
Mortified, he muttered sheepishly, "I, uh, yeah?"
Whack! The wooden spoon found its mark. "Don't you EVER, "complain about my cooking again."
