It's Party Time in ActiveRain!

Congrats to John Hrisco!

100,000 Points & Moving On Up!

John5x7 I was asleep at the blogging wheel today and let John Hrisco's reaching and passing the big 100,000 points mile marker in ActiveRain slip up on me. I knew it was coming up, but John has been burning the midnight oil lately racking up the ActiveRain points and it happened just now and I did not have a post ready.

While I like being prepared, I would rather come to the party not as well prepared as usual as to miss the entire party so here I am - let's party with John!

John posted his first ActiveRain post in February, 2011 & has now just passed the 100,000 point level. He honored me this morning with a comment on my post which earned him the last few points needed to push him over the mark! THANKS, JOHN!

Check out John's ActiveRain Profile to learn more about this high energy young man about town listing and selling real estate in the great cities of what I call the "west side" of the DFW Metroplex - Keller, Southlake, Westlake, Colleyville, Grapevine, Trophy Club, Roanoke, Haslet, North Richland Hills,

I have watched John's Blog Posts and enjoyed the immediate way he just seemed to "get" blogging and how he quickly started using technology and enhancements to make his posts sing in the rain & on the Internet. Another thing many of us have come to enjoy are John's comments - ALWAYS positive. His comments show that he has actually read the post and he adds to the discussion.

John has already earned a loyal following for his blog which features a little bit of everything - history lessons, animal stories, Localism, property posts.....he does it all! I highly suggest contacting John Hrisco if you are looking for a good hard working Realtor in his area.

John has recently joined RE/MAX Heritage and is already out and about "his" towns promoting the famed RE/MAX name as well as his local office. RE/MAX Heritage - you scored big time with bringing John to your office!!!

Sorry, John, that I was not prepared with a slick party post ....but I did not want to miss the celebration! Enjoy your special day in ActiveRain!

ActiveRain members, please go over to visit John and congratulate him on his excellent performance in ActiveRain these last few months. Congratulate John Now!

Party On - It's Happy Hour All Day Long in John's Honor!

Hi Barbara, I would have missed the party too, if I had not read your blog tonight. Congratulations to John and I will go over and thank him personally. I have him on my subscription list, so I have been following his posts. Things have been very busy this week, but I plan to catch up this weekend on all my commenting.

Ah, my sweet Barbara, you cease to amaze me...I am extremely honored that you would take the time to write a post such as that in regards to my first major milestone in AR. I have enjoyed my journey so far in the rain as well, and see nothing but rainbows on the horizon. I've grown, thanks in part to many of the bloggers commenting on this post right here as well as others in the rain. Your caricatures always crack me up and its like you pull them out of your hat each time and they are so appropriate for the occassion. Thank you again for all your guidance and support in and out of the rain. Can't wait to see the big Red/White/Blue Balloon tomorrow, I will take lots of pics and share soon. thanks again, and now off to bed...going to be an early morning. And thank you all for your congrats.....almost forgot thank you Jerry for letting me know about Barbara's post. I had not stopped by your blog today at that point.

John - it was a pleasure and we both know that the best is yet to come....continued growth, learning and success! Best wishes for lots of success at the festival today. I have to say I am a little jealous of you being able to get up close and personal with the famed RE/MAX balloon. This is going to be an awesome day for you - enjoy. Remember you have to get some rest and sleep at some time. :)

Lynn - you are so right - the first 100,000 points seem to take the longest - then, once in the zone you can soar quickly. I see you are getting close to the half million mark! Good work.

Good morning Barbara,

Congrat's to John on hitting the 100,000 point mark. As you know it's quite an accomplishment to do so.

It's a long road but keep going and you will get there. I'm looking for my second 100,00 points.

Thanks for the recognition you give the Active Rain members.

Best, Clint mcKie

Clint - I think everyone agrees that the hardest to get are the first one hundred points - then we just sort of forget it and soar towards the next. Thanks for stopping by.
