Re: Fun story for those serious about starting over

I've got 3 store cards now. I'm hoping Target will turn into a Visa.

You can kind of cheat a little bit to see when they are reviewing you if you back door your EX report and check out the soft inquiries, in case you didn't know that.

HAHAHAHAH... yah... that embarrassed part made me giggle... OMG how many times have we had to shy away from those tables and politely decline sales people's enticements of "Zero.... payments......" feeling so small, but not trying to feel small?
 
I tell you, going from being allowed to set my own credit limits to being declined by WALMART.... does something to the esteem, at least to mine for years!  Now when the offer is presented to me, I just say, "nah, ,,,I was declined by your guys last week.  But thanks!"  And I keep it moving!  Taking some of that power away from embarrassment!  :smileyvery-happy:

I'd be honored. I've posted many photographs on the internet, how is it done here?

A member here told me about imageshack.us. It's the only way I've ever done it, so I cling to it! :smileyhappy:

Save your image to Pictures, go to imageshack and click "browse", and pick the image you want. Once the address appears in the browse window, click the "host it!" button. On the next page, scroll down near the bottom and select the window that says "Hotlink for websites." Mine always begin with the < a command. Highlight that address, copy/paste it into your post, and click preview post to make sure that something is actually there.

It's kind of a clicky-clicky method, but it does work. I'm sure that there is something infinitely smoother, but as I said, I've learned this one, and I'm not giving it up. :smileywink:

Re: Fun story for those serious about starting over

Great JOb... I just LOVE this site... I have learned so much. I actually have been wanting to get an RV for the big ole family.. I can afford it... well they checked my EQ not my EX like they said they would and offered me this HORRENDOUS subprime rate and TERMS... I told them to shove it... if they had check the report that they told me they would I wouldnt have wasted either of our time...
A few years ago I would have accepted the subprime offer becaue I can do the payments... I just like the terms of the prime one better... I would rather garden the sell my soul again!
