De nada, Darlin'!! Like I just posted in your thread, you're what we call "Good People!"
And it's Good People like you that brighten my day! 'Specially when I'm bummed out!
Awwwhhh... well that brightened MY day, anyway! And stop being bummed out... you don't deserve to be bummed out... stupid rude ignorant Orchard employees!! I hope he has better luck next time - calling back and getting 'a nice one' always makes up for being talked to like some particularly undesirable criminal by the less customer-friendly CSRs. (Oh, how I love it when I call for some perfectly benign reason and am made to feel one inch tall for no good reason... yeah, I really love it!)
Oh, I just feel like doody because it's MY fault that his credit is so stinky. And for ME, with my crappier credit, to get a CLI immediately and he not, makes me AND him feel like crud.
But thank you, Fevmlo. Like I said, you're Good People. And if ANYONE EVER makes you feel one inch tall, you just send'em over to me. And I will gladly show'em what a wet hickory switch feels like on their backside!!!
HINT: It doesn't feel GOOD. >
And oh, yeah ... feel free to send that witch you're dealing with over for a taste of my hickory switch, too! My "Switching Arm" could use a nice work-out!

Hubby already activated his card during that first convo. She told him he HAD to in order to qualify for the CLI. That is NOT what the guy I spoke to said.
So as far as leverage with activation, he has none.
What's worse is that he'll probably get another inquiry on his CRs because of this. And he feels like utter doggie-doo now.
Well...if it makes your dh feel better, I could list for him the 3 supposed "easy" cards I got shot down for last month
I really need to work on patience. All good things come in time. If I keep telling myself that, I might actually start to beleive it...............................nah
Thanks for the encouraging words, Wahmom! You're sweeter than Tupelo Honey, you know that?!
And you know what? I might get into trouble saying this, but I might JUST call up and pretend to be him and see if I can get that CLI!! I can do a deep baritone if I smoke a few cigs just before I dial! Add some rotgut whiskey and my voice will be deeper than Harold Reid from the Statler Brothers!
Yep, he used his Naw'thern practical-voice. I was SURE that if he got a female CSR he'd butter her up like he does all the ladies! That man could coax a nun out of her habit when he wants to. But not this time.
And you know what? I sure did give him an outline! I also told him VERY sternly to be as sweet as condensed milk. I even gave him my best "Don't mess with Mama" face, too. And he REALLY did think he was being sweet! That's what floors me!! I've seen sweeter men in a maximum-security prison! Men just don't have the "Sweet gene" that we gals do. :/
I guess I'm going to have to sweeten him up some tomorrow night and make him give it another go ... or maybe have him ask them to talk to me. :/
Thanks, again, Darlin', You sure did go a country mile in making my spirits a'lifted. God Bless you, Sweetie!!

MsKiwi, Darlin', you just wait. Things are going to be all peachy keen for you, I just KNOW it!!!
I don't mean to get all preachy (since I think it might be frowned upon), but I really believe that you've been passed aside for the stinky stuff 'cause you're going to get BETTER CCs SOON. The Lord has a plan. We just don't know it, yet. And I think His for you is going to be something speck-tak-U-lar!!
One of my favorite quotes from a recent movie is the one in "Evan Almighty." Where Morgan Freeman says that when we pray for such-and-such and it seems like we've not gotten it, we've gotten even BETTER. An OPPORTUNITY. You say you need patience, well, I think that's exactly what you're getting -- an opportunity to get some patience. Girl, I think that's what WE'RE getting, too!! So we'll work on that opportunity TOGETHER.
And meanwhile, I'll be praying for you (and you, Wahmom!!). I'll be praying for ALL of us. 'Cause when it comes right down to it, that's what we're all here for: Helping each other the best way we can, right?!
