Well, I have an early morning tomorrow to return my DD to campus, so I'm signing off for the night.
Everyone have a happy, healthy and safe Labor Day weekend. If I'm not to wiped out I will pop in tomorrow.
@myjourney
Looks like you will be on your own for a bit, bt I know you can handle it.
Send up a flare if anyone steps out of line.

I get my gold the following day, on the 4th. Looks like a good week coming up for us both.
WTG - never a doubt that you would reclaim your status.
Thanks. I'm also thrilled that my scores have bounced not only back, but also higher, after every stint of gardening. For example, a year ago on August 24 I apped for four cards; my EQ score was 723. After the app spree and all of the cards reported, I dropped down to the upper 600s -- ouch! But I bounced back, and when I did my final bit of apping on March 4 of this year, my EQ score was 766. Again, after everything reported, I fell down to 734. Now that I've sat back and allowed things to age, I'm up to an EQ of 772! I imagine my scores have or soon will reach a plateau, but I'm very happy with where I'm at. It's a long, long way from where I started this journey. Using cards responsibly coupled with spending meaningful periods of time in the garden have really paid off.
Well, you certainly are inspiring and encouraging!
I don't know where my scores were after I filed bk7 in 07; I was too afraid/depressed to look. I figured I was dead in the water for 10yrs. I was able to get 1 CC in 08, a WaMu platinum Visa, and that was all I had for years. Applied for one or two cards, but was denied. Sat back and was bascially cash-and-carry for a good stretch of time.
Since joining myfico in Dec '12, I have obtained 5 new cards after PCing my Chase Visa to a Freedom. Now, I'm quite content to nurse my Discover, Barclay MC and VS. (The other two don't get much use.) My current scores range between 730 and 765. I want to get, at least 1 score, to 800. So, in the garden I stay until the dust begins to settle.
Looking at your scores and knowing you are giving it your all I see nothing but success BRAVO

August saw three new TLs for me (that darn Shopping Cart trick led to two of those) with Wal-Mart, VS, and Gold Violin (Blair). I figured with their proximity, they can alll age and grow together.
My specific goals for September are no apps/new TLs and continue to push UTIL down. (currently 30% overall). The one I really want paid down the most is Credit One. I need to close that thing! But that will take some time.
October will hopefully see a good CLI to my JCP card when I hit the love button.
It's good to have goals in the garden it makes dreams come true...........keep up the good work
