Welcome back to seedling status. It's not like I was in the garden... But the card that put me here was the freedom. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the sweet smell of freedom bro!
That's more like sis!lol, my fault. I suppose I should be more cautious. I guess I don't consider gender when I say bro. I don't know if it's because I was born and raised in Southern California, or what. What is a cool sounding, one syllable word that Identifies a female? Because sis just won't cut it. I do apologize for the masculine insinuation though.
Don't worry a bit, I'm not offended. I've worked in the computer field for many, many years, which traditionally has been male dominated. I've always felt quite comfortable being "one of the guys."

I pulled my EQ and TU scores from here today, expecting to see a ding on TU for the recent inqs. To my surprise, there was no ding. As a matter of fact, both of my scores remain unchanged from last month. It will be interesting to see what happens when the Freedom reports, but for now, I'm happy.

I hear you. I know that my Delta gold statement has already cut, but no report yet. I am kind of "on-edge", but your one month rebound story gives me hope. I expect that the Freedom will report for the first time around the 8th, and then the BCE will report around the 15th for the first time.
Hello I'm new to the forums and the Garden in Jan was able to get a car loan ( on force because the other one died ) and had a couple of things going on.
I will post later my whole story of going from 600 to 770... nothing special just patience... hope to kee getting good advice in this place....
Welcome culture!
Just checking in myself. Hope to be here for about 6 months, but I might leave in May depending on my scores and whether or not I think I can pick up the last two cards that I want.
Hello everyone! February was really hard but I managed to keep my head down. This month marks my 6th month since my app spree last fall. It also marks a year since I purchased a car - so those dealership inqs are aging nicely. One CA fell off -Experian is fast! And the temptation is strong to app for a travel/hotel card. 
The weather is beautiful in So Cal so I'm going to pick up my spade and tend my accounts-

Looking forward to collecting my silver space on March 28th!
To further outline my goals so you guys can help keep me honest:
- SILVER SPADE at 6 months: on June 28th.
- No apps until at least October (changed my signature line from July).
Hopefully by October, I'm in a position to app for a Chase or AMEX prime card! Then I'll be sitting in the garden for another year until starting the mortgage process in October 2014.
Closing in on 16 months,
Last app was 30.10.2011
I'll drink to that!
