Bet,
It won't be long before we're congratulating you on haing 1,000 points. There was a time when I was a noob & felt like no matter how much I contributed, I never saw my points go up. It happens faster than you think, so hang in there & keep posting.
Thanks for all the support ladies; I'm glad I have some people that don't think I'm weird (my FI said ok, what are you even talking about, what do you get points for, LOL) for being excited to have 1,000 points.
