Goldstar is a beer in Israel, so I thought you meant you had your first crappy Israeli beer.

Congrats girl!

Here's a Goldstar to another Gold Star!

They say the second one takes forever.

Not sure where the cut off is at but must be pretty high. I think around 1000 or so.

Yeah it is 1000... Compared to having to get 300, 700 is a pretty big number... How many you need for three stars? Now THAT would take an eternity..
