And here I actually use the Google machine to find my gifs.
You get more of what you're looking for that way. The giphy app here has a difficult time with searches.

If I'm looking for a specific gif, I usually go to giphy's website or Google and download it. The app doesn't have everything and sometimes the search function doesn't bring up the specific gif I want.

@WalkerLovesTheOcean Man you pumped me up so much before I ever added the first coral. You take care man. I have your back if you ever need anything buddy
You're amazing John, thank you so much. You're an amazing man, I really hope you know that. I think Ive said this before, but you are truly one of a kind. Happy new years to you, and of course, I've also got your back if you ever need it as well. ❤️

The same goes for the rest of the Smorgasborg. Yall are amazing humans, and I'm eternally grateful for everyone I've met on here so far. I hope everyone has a great 2026!
