How Did That Happen... 101 Posts and 63000 Points

 

 

 

   

Yep... these are my Bronze shoes...

I hit the 50,000 points mark a few weeks ago but not wanting to be pushy I thought I would make my Mama proud and show my good manners... so I've been patiently waiting for a formal invitation to join  the Bronze Hall of Fame..  Yesterday I finally received  Neal  Bloom's  eloquent  formal invitation ....Get in here..I must have missed you!     So here I am..

Hitting 50,000 points was really fun but it wasn't until yesterday when I checked my points that I realized that I had also hit 100 posts.  The points were fairly easy as I'm always reading and commenting ..Truthfully I've rarely seen a comment  box that wasn't begging for some little smart comment from me. 

The 100 posts were a bit more difficult  to reach. I spend a lot of time posting on my other blog where I now have over 300 posts.   When I realized that in a very short time I've written 400 posts I was really surprised and pretty proud of myself.

I'm not sure how I found Active Rain.. but it has been one of the best groups I have ever joined.  When I first started blogging I knew nothing and those first posts are proof positive of my ignorance. I haven't deleted them because they remind me of what I have learned since I found this group.  I've met so many good friends here on the Rain.. some I've gotten to meet in person and others are still online buddies.. but all are very special to me.  

So how did I get the 63,000+ points and  100 (now 102) posts... Why with a lot of help from my friends of course..

 
Post is included in group: The Activerain Bronze Star Hall of Fame

Congrats... and here I am trying to get 200,000 points in one post.  Of course, I've got another 80+ blog posts, too.

Wow!  Quite an achievement!  Congratulations Kaye!  Love the bronze shoes!!!

08/27/2007 11:25 PM by Pasadena CA Real Estate - Irina Netchaev (Keller Williams International Realty)


Congratulations Kaye! It all goes so quickly, doesn't it? Who would have guessed that we are soon to reach 100,000 pts  and become silver. Then 150,000 for Gold, 200000 for Platinum and 250000 for Diamond and then the really big one. 300000 Dirt. I figure to get there for me at least,  it would kill me, so Dirt would be appropriate, LMAO

Kaye,

I think I need a list of everyone so I can keep track of them all:)

Or an alert set up so I can invite them ...sorry I didn't get your until recently..but it is hard enough just to write and comment here.:)Congrats again.

08/28/2007 06:57 AM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


Randy- When you first start you think you will never make it and you are right suddenly you have all these points and posts..

 

Neal- I was just having fun with you.. I don't know how you keep track of all of us and think you do a terrific job.. I don't think I would do as well..

08/28/2007 11:17 AM by Manhattan Beach CA/ e-PRO..... Kaye Thomas... (Real Estate West)

08/29/2007 05:14 AM by Jason Sardi, Pennsylvania Mortgage Broker (First Choice Equity Group Inc.)

Good job on your Bronze award post.  I agree this is an awesome place with incredible people.  Congratulations on reaching this level.

09/05/2007 12:38 PM by Cynthia Tilghman, Realtor® Onslow County NC Home Specialist (Kingsbridge Realty, Inc)


Kaye...

I am so sorry I missed this. I had some life things to deal with when you posted this.

But I am here now to offer my sincerest congrats on this milestone.

I for one know that my blog would not be the same without you.

I love your smart aleck remarks. You amuse the heck out of me :)

P.S. I was going to use the other "H" word but this is a public. I'll behave. LOL.

TLW...ROAR!

Billie- Ahhhh.. Never behave.. that's the sign of a weak mind. or a low mind.. Oh never mind.. Hugs Sweets I am your ardent fan..

  

09/05/2007 06:31 PM by Manhattan Beach CA/ e-PRO..... Kaye Thomas... (Real Estate West)

Mind? I don't mind.. or were you wondering if I had a mind... Now that's a completely different issue..

09/05/2007 07:35 PM by Manhattan Beach CA/ e-PRO..... Kaye Thomas... (Real Estate West)


Congratulations!  Amazing how fast those points add up when you're busy having fun with ActiveRain!

09/07/2007 01:24 PM by Margaret Woda, Maryland REALTOR (RE/MAX VISION)


Margaret- Thank you.. When you first join it seems as if you will never reach  your goals for the points or the posts .. and then one day it happens..and the best part as you note is the fun we have along the way..

09/07/2007 07:29 PM by Manhattan Beach CA/ e-PRO..... Kaye Thomas... (Real Estate West)


Kaye,

I'm not sure that I would be that patient.  Neal is a very busy guy and I would have let him know "The Deal" Congratulations and welcome to the club.

09/08/2007 06:47 PM by Tracy Santrock - Cary NC Real Estate (Fonville Morisey)


Tracy-Thank You.. Hey Mama said never invite yourself to a party.. wait for the invitation..

09/08/2007 07:06 PM by Manhattan Beach CA/ e-PRO..... Kaye Thomas... (Real Estate West)


Kaye, congrats on reaching your 100th post. A little late to the party here but wanted to express my congrats. I've never received my invitation to join the group, either but better late than never. It is interesting when you look back at the first post versus now...we all have come a long way, baby!Flowers for Kaye Thomas

09/09/2007 09:22 AM by Sacramento Real Estate and Luxury Homes, Assoc. Real Estate Broker,Gena Riede (Remax Gold, Assoc Broker)


Gena- The flowers are lovely Thank you.. I'm betting you are in the Silver or Gold group with all your wonderful posts..

09/09/2007 11:56 AM by Manhattan Beach CA/ e-PRO..... Kaye Thomas... (Real Estate West)


Kaye, I think you have to have an invitation and that has not occurred so I'll just revel in your acclaim to fame!!

09/09/2007 12:23 PM by Sacramento Real Estate and Luxury Homes, Assoc. Real Estate Broker,Gena Riede (Remax Gold, Assoc Broker)


Gena,

I have emailed you and invite a few times to join...you never responded.

09/09/2007 12:44 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


Neal,really? I don't recall seeing an invite otherwise I would have joined. As far as I know I am getting emails just fine. Was this through the AR email system or to my actual email?

09/09/2007 12:52 PM by Sacramento Real Estate and Luxury Homes, Assoc. Real Estate Broker,Gena Riede (Remax Gold, Assoc Broker)


I just sent it again...please see if it is there....There has been others that also never respond for whatever reasons....

09/09/2007 12:53 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


Neal, just got it and joined. Thank you. You might want to check with the others and make sure that they did in fact get their emails. Sometimes, there are glitches with AR (not often, but sometimes).

Kaye, sorry to hijack your post here with my laundry.

09/09/2007 01:02 PM by Sacramento Real Estate and Luxury Homes, Assoc. Real Estate Broker,Gena Riede (Remax Gold, Assoc Broker)


Neal & Gena- Glad all has worked out.. e-mail is wonderful.. except when it doesn't work.. with all the spam filters we have to  have up we never know for certain what we may have missed..

09/09/2007 01:39 PM by Manhattan Beach CA/ e-PRO..... Kaye Thomas... (Real Estate West)


I am not sure how I found AR either, but I am so glad I did.  Congrats on the 100 posts.

09/09/2007 09:28 PM by Deb Wilson, Clarksville TN Realtor (Crye-Leike Realtors)


Deb- Thank you for stopping.. I wonder just how many of us just stumbled on AR and didn't know how lucky we were to have found this site..

09/10/2007 12:32 PM by Manhattan Beach CA/ e-PRO..... Kaye Thomas... (Real Estate West)


Hi Kaye,

How do you keep up your blogging and still work. Do you have a schedule? I need to organize my time better so I can blog and do everything else I need to do. Congratulations on 50,000!

 

10/01/2007 11:06 AM by Tina Maraj Shah Fullerton Realtor (RE/MAX North Orange County)


Tina- I've given cleaning. LOL. Seriously.. what I've had to give up is reading so many posts on AR.. just don't have the time.. so I'm pretty sporadic in reading and commenting.. I try to write  first thing in AM or late at night.

10/01/2007 11:20 AM by Manhattan Beach CA/ e-PRO..... Kaye Thomas... (Real Estate West)


Hi Kaye:  You must have pretty sore wrists by now.  What a great achievement.  Kaye, during that time... what would you say has been the major impact on your business since you started blogging ?

10/05/2007 12:35 AM by Fort Worth Real Estate - - - Karen Anne Stone (RE/MAX Trinity)


Karen- it's not my wrists.. it's my back.. Biggest impact is the number of people who seem to read my blog fairly regularly.  It's a different group then those who stop by your web site... By the time people meet you they feel as if they know you..
