A few MILESTONES for the Catman
 

Don't know if this is the forum but I guess community is also good for personal announcements!

1. Sometime by Friday morning, August 25th, I would have made my 6000th post! And I did it WITHOUT SMILEY FACES OR OTHER SILLY STUFF. I think most of my posts have offered some kind of information to the community.

2. Sometime over St. Louis, on UA flight 69 EWR-LAX on August 25th, I will REQUALIFY FOR PREMIER EXECUTIVE! I made my goal right before Labor Day (as I planned) and I'm soooo happy! I can imagine there will be parties worldwide to celebrate my mark. PremEx will have a Black Russian in L-A in my honor; wanderlust a Sam Adams.

3. If my math is right, My stay at teh W the wknd of August 31-Sept 2nd will requalify me for Platnium Starwood. (I believe I have 50 nights, WIsh Starwood would LIST the number of stays to status on the Website!)

Thanks to all of you for everyday making me a better Frequent Flyer and thanks for your support and friendship. I would give up all my points and miles tomorrow to keep friends like you! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

And YAZ AND EDDIE thank you too!

Congratulations, Catman!
Thanks for sticking around.

Congrats to the one and only...Catman!!

Congrats to the catman! Mrs. Kid and I are planning to go out to dinner tomorrow (Friday & payday!), but we can make it also a celebratory posts&flights&stays affair.

I'll have a side-car to celebrate this!

(and here is one of my silly smilies) http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Rudi, I'm sorry I called your smiles silly, but I would NOT have reached any of these milestones without the support and friendship of YOU, PremEx, Wanderlust and so many other Flyertalkers who if I mentioned would crash the boards.

I just may go to Smith and Wollensky's for lunch today and have a sidecar for you, A black Russian for PremEx, a Sam Adams for wanderlust. oregon wine for Punki and Essxjay and then go staggering home. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Congrats Catman! Don't forget to have a Long Island Iced Tea for me! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Catman, that is beautiful. I will re-qualify for US Gold Preferred (Premier Executive next year?) on US flight 69 PIT-SFO on August 25th!!!

Well Cat... I suspose I owe you a Sam Adams in SLC on Sat.

Way to go, Gatoman! Do you track your FT friendships as closely as your posts/miles/points? Don't think you'll find a counter that goes that high (warning: impending smiley alert!) http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Glückwunsch! I'll have a white russian on you, to complement PremEx on the other side of the Atlantic http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Congrats Catman! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/cool.gif

In the interest of protecting your liver, I'll have a bombay, up, three olives -in honor of you! Maybe I'll have a pre-celeb trial run tonight!

Keep on moving - we learn a lot from you!

Edited out some html I inserted trying to format bold font!.. just realized this site isn't html enabled!

I'll second the sidecar! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

JimB: I have lost count of my miles and my F-T posts but I have NOT lost touch with something THAT MEANS MORE TO ME THAN MILES: FRIENDS. I am truly blessed with freinds -- and to quote an old movie "NO man is ever poor -- or was it alone -- if he has friends." (****, old age makes me forget the movie!)

I'm LIFETIME ELITE with all my Flyertalk friends on my side! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
