Double woo hoo, am on desktop for the first time in a couple weeks and just noticed that I made it past 1,000 posts - not sure if that is good or bad

I think that is worth a congrats.
You have to figure you have given a lot of help to others.

I do a fine job of getting a bronze spade but can't seem to make it to silver. I'm going to do it this time! August 26th, here I come!
Congrats. I am sure you can make it to Silver. I just did and it was pretty easy. Just stay away from the Credit Card Approval forum.
Long time no see, gardeners!
Checking in a few weeks out from my palladium spade! I've been doing well with building my savings back up and working on debt (student loan and otherwise).
Spending a few days in Mexico for a friend's wedding in a few weeks and couldn't be more excited! Nothing happening on the credit front, just maintaining my current cards. Only card I still want someday is a CSP, but who knows when that will happen due to WaMu/blacklist. We'll see in another year or so.
Anyone doing anything cool for the 4th of July?

Congratulations, afuche.
Alas, I have to change my spade back to a seedling. I was so silly to misunderstand a message that was sent to me and applied for a credit card which I thought was going to be a SP. Although I don't have a new report to see if there was a HP, from what I am reading, there most definitely was. So won't torture myself any longer for mistakenly leaving the garden. I have removed the Chase AARP card from the signature lineup, because I am putting it in the sock drawer until around mid-year next year, when hopefully, I can open a new card and transfer some of the $$ from the AARP card to the new card. Added the Amex Costco replacement card which is the Citi Visa shown in signature. Am showing only cards I use. As far as my June goals:
- Request at least one SP CLI. Done
- Request APR decrease(s). I have not done this before, so a new endeavor for me. Done
- Peruse and study my cards to determine which one(s) I want to prune. Plan was to prune the AARP card but that didn't work out.
- Pull cards which are SDd and make small purchase on each. Did make some small purchases.
- Determine how to pay cards so that only one reports a balance to improve utilization. Did improve utilization by a hair.
- Watch for double promo reward to be posted to Discover, though it may be next month. This won't post until August statement as I understand it.
I know I just started gardening .. but Im thinking I am going to post my garden scores each month.
Showing the growth in gardening to be an aspiration or an inspiration ..
So I will use my scores in my siggy for my start.. even though they are lowered due to my app spree.
